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

Into the swing of things

or should I say: Into the slide of things?

“A photo is usually looked at – seldom looked into.”

– Ansel Adams

 Two photos inspired by the quotation from Ansel Adams.  Have a look here for more photos you can look into.

It doesn’t have to be a Christmas tree

Bleibt gesund

It’s an old custom that has been revived during the last years: decorating trees in the garden with Easter eggs.

This works for a larger tree as well as for shrubs and planters.

This tree is adorned throughout the year. Whether by design or because it’s too much of a hassle to take the decoration down after Easter, I don’t know.

Schnullerbaum

And now for a completely differently tree: this dummy tree is in a park and toddlers hang their dummies there when they (or their parents) think they have outgrown them.

Durchblick

Durchblick

The German word Durchblick can literally mean “looking through” but is used more often in its figurative meaning: understanding or being in the know.

 

 

Liebe geht durch den Magen

And a German proverb to remind us of another important opening: Love, it states (literally), goes through the stomach.  In English you would say: The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.

Windows of a renovated Rathaus

The townhall (Rathaus) of Lützelsachsen was built from 1674 to 1688 and renovated in 1808.  And then it was renovated during the last couple of years.  And now there are functional windows, old fashioned windows, and modern windows.  Decide for yourself if you think it works.

This is what it looked like a year ago or so.

And this is what it looks like today.  There is no mayor residing in it anymore since Lützelsachsen became part of the town Weinheim.

And that’s the view from the back with the cars still able to drive underneath the mayor’s former office – with two beautiful windows looking down on traffic.
