Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.

Travel Challenge #6

I was nominated by Teresa  and by Margaret to post one travel picture a day for ten days without explanation, then to nominate someone else to participate. That’s 10 days, 10 travel images, and 10 nominations. 

The photos I am going to show in this challenged are from travels around Germany and where chosen to introduce my German language students to various German sites.

Here is my sixth one:

Today I would like to nominate Agatha (you were foolish enough to like my #5 post – and with a name like “40thousandkm” – what did you expect?). There is no pressure to participate, though. But if you share some of your travel photos, have fun! I’ll definitely have a look (please send me a link).

In Ulm

Ulm is a town in the south of Germany. The well-known tongue twister “In Ulm, um Ulm und um Ulm herum” has little meaning beyond being a tongue twister: in Ulm, around Ulm and round and round Ulm.

In the middle of Ulm, in the old town, houses stand close to each other, compact like in many originally medieval towns.

Heedfulness

Seen in a garden during the first lockdown:

WHAT IS IMPORTANT NOW: LOVE and THOUGHTFULNESS

to treat each other –

and not to forget those who are really in the shit.

Today I would like to nominate Robert (you were foolish enough to like my #4 post). There is no pressure to participate, though. But if you share some of your travel photos, have fun! I’ll definitely have a look.

The battle between cloud and sun

That’s what it looked like here today: The two castles overlooking the old part of town were trying to break to through the mist and reach the sunshine. They never quite made it but it left a wonderful promise for better weather.
