Car number plates are signs and in Germany they (sometimes) make words. I’ve been collecting them and here are all words I found on cars from F for Frankfurt.
I want to stay
now with the
season approaching. I think I can
this by dressing warmly.
I hope I won’t look too
wearing my fake
This should go
to letting me feel and look

So far I’ve only used “gallimaufry” (a chance find in a dictionary) as a title for a few of the Sunday colour collages for Aino’s Värikollaasit but now that I have actually heard it used in a Dr Who episode (in one of the first episodes with Peter Capaldi as the Doctor – I’m a bit behind in watching) I will use it more often for any hodgepodge collection for which I can’t find a unifying title.
a marsh willowherb
(a ramshackle) shack
a scarlet ibis
Since the scarlet ibis was hiding a bit, here is a hadeda ibis with its stately gait and glossy colours.
Those two are best of friends, not related but looking it. A symbiotic relationship that is great to watch.
I managed five out five for Paula’s Thursday Special: Pick a Word in October. Find more stately shacks symbiotic with scarlet marshes here.
The picturesque hallway where my classroom is situated – we are in the basement.
And this is how you go down to the subway in Munich (naturally monochrome).

Only one photo with lines – but I tried to have lots of different kinds of lines in the shot.

I am a fan of snails. They are unbeatable as photographic subjects – they are not static yet slow enough to be captured.
I can photograph them full frontal
or from the top or
or sideways with lots of background.
They’ve stayed still enough to serve as models for sculptures or
as reliefs on fountains.
They look good with lights inside
and when they disappear in the woods.
