Gaswerk

The gasworks in Neustadt an der Dosse in Brandenburg – this is one of only two plants of this kind still standing in Europe (there is one other in Greece).  The plant was built in 1904 and damaged little during WWII so that it was put into operation again in 1947.  The gas produced from coal was used for street lights and heating. Operations were stopped 1980.  It was declared a technical monument and converted into a museum.  What made our tour of the complex so interesting was that the two men who showed us around used to work there 40 years earlier when it was still in operation.

Toadstools from an enchanted forest

I was on a long hike in the Pfälzerwald today.  The weather is turning and the light filtering through the greenish yellow leaves was muted and transformed the forest which had been gay and light only a a day ago.  Friends have told me that this year is very good for mushrooms and although it is said that the delicious porcini mushrooms grow in close proximity to the fly agaric I could only find the poisonous red caps with white dots.  Just as well – they may be deadly but are much more photogenic.

At A Photo a Week it’s open season this week, or rather an open topic.  Have a look what others made with this freedom of choice.
