Balconies in the centre of the town of Heidelberg.

And in Frankfurt – more green, less flowers.

The townhall balcony in Lampertheim – geraniums are the perennial favourites for balcony gardening.

This is more colourful, seen in Ladenburg.

More geraniums, in Weinheim.

No flowers at all, yet the feeling is definitely “holiday in Balconia”.

The old part of the town of Weinheim is built on an incline. The rooms behind the lower row of balconies are street level on the other side of the house. It looks even higher when shown with the more modern houses in front:

Inspecting with the farmer.

Here there be milk, right from the farm.

And here they sell eggs, well yes, and milk as well.

This is the farmer’s family who tends the flower field. They are asking for people who pick the flowers to be honest and pay fair.

All I did was increase backlighting. This was the original photo, taken in the old part of Heidelberg.

Cars and trucks photographed in the city. They are not very good pictures, rather taken on the go, but these trucks got my attention because of their paint jobs (mostly).

A Dutch visitor with words that either suggest a fat tree or “first we dig, then –> boom” (I do not speak Dutch, obviously).

“We want Wulle” – Wulle is a beer from a small, local brewery. The name is pretty close to my proper family name so it wasn’t just the nifty red paint job that caught my eye.

The team truck for a small football club. The “e.v.” stands for registered association.

An ice cream truck with the wonderful name of “The Ice Princes” on the side.

More advertising, for a house painting company this time. A very professional job.

As opposed to this fancyful job of an enthusiastic amateur.

And a neglected bus – nature will claim its own!

Not a truck but this official car of the RWC 2015 was spotted in Birmingham. A nod to the next Rugby World Cup happening right now. I wonder what the official RWC 2019 vehicles in Japan look like? Cherry blossom pink is my guess.
