With a little help

“Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.”

Steven Wright

But sometimes you need to be pointed in the right direction.

In case you are not quite sure what you are looking at: the Wachenburg is about 20km in linear distance, 30km to travel by car, and quite a bit more walking through dales and over hills. It was as if the sunbeam wanted to guide us home.

From a closer vantage point, more or less pictured from the same side.

I’m a fan of hospitals … not

· 1 Comment ·

Not quite true or rather not as simple as that. I’m not a fan although I am very happy that hospitals and the people who work in them exist.

From doctors to nurses to medical technicians to kitchen and cleaning staff, they are all needed and were needed even in times gone by.

Talking about times gone by – this is the hospital of Lindenfels where I spent almost a week some seven years ago, and received good care. It has since closed down because it wasn’t financially viable, they said, being in a rural area. For the people of the area it was not a good decision, they now have to drive a long way to get to the next medical facility with emergency rooms. There are plans underfoot to open it again.

In any case, I hope that Jez (of the I’m a fan of … photo challenge) also had somebody to comfort him like this little guy, and gets well soon.

For I’m a fan of … #83. More fanatical posts plus one hospital post are linked here.

Not risky

I didn’t know that green and orange are an endangered species that need to be protected but there you go.

The federation of the local youth organisations should know how to mosh (I didn’t, I had to look it up).
