I don’t know if that was an art installation or just a yard where an art installation was being prepared or stored. It looked out of place and hidden at the same time.

I have no idea what this is supposed to be or who did it or why. Found it standing in the front yard of an apartment building in the centre of Frankfurt.


Definitely NOT beautiful. This figure, I think, belongs to a shop selling surplus army supplies.

A weather cock.

Another metal cock.

A mirrored Hollyhock.

A single hollyhock.

And finally, a hollyhock macro.

The traditional drink in Frankfurt and the surrounding State of Hesse is wine made of apples. I don’t really like to call it cider because English cider and French cidre are quite different. For one thing, the German version is sour, really very sour.

Traditionally, this kind of cider, called Äppler or Äppelwoi, is served in such ribbed glasses. The ribbing is supposed to prevent the glass from slipping when one eats greasy food at the same time.

That makes a case for beer, although in some Äppelwoi pubs it will not be served.

If it is drawn that badly and with so much foam, maybe a glass of Äppler is more inviting, after all.

The almond blooming season has started. They were difficult to photograph because the wind was blowing so hard that they swayed to and fro.
