Make way for the fanfare!
It’s not easy being green. Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things.
But green is the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you!

S.H.I.T.S. stands for Saturday Hash in the Summer (i.e. we hash = run and socialise on Saturdays in summer). This is the tasteful front of one of our t-shirts:
For further viewing, I better add this warning:
These t-shirts have stopped a few passers-by who wanted a closer look:
This one is a bit older, can’t you tell?
And here is hashing explained to more academically minded people:
If you are at all intrigued – look around, there might be some hashers in your area. There are almost two thousand hashes in all parts of the world; they say there are even two organized hashes in Antarctica.

House #2
Another House #2 and 2 lizards
2 leaves in /about to fall
2 grape hyacinths
2 imps, both called Pumuckl, from a German children’s book
The 2 archetypical German rascals (as invented by Wilhelm Busch they became the forerunners of first the Katzenjammer Kids and then of all newspaper funnies).
And the way those 2 look, they might be today’s real-life Max and Moritz.

Who had the better perspective? Me looking down? Him looking up? Did we meet?
For One Word Sunday: Perspective.
This unusual view of the part of München called Schwanthalerhöhe is taken from the area which during two weeks in September (sic!) houses the world famous Oktoberfest. The rest of the year most of the Wiesn is a flat, barren expanse packed with gravel. It is situated close to the city centre with buildings on all four sides. A few smaller events use part of the area throughout the year but when nothing is going on it’s just empty space which accentuates the urban surroundings all the more.
For A Photo a Week: urban.

“The soul can not think without a picture.”
Aristotle
These three buildings have dominated my childhood – Wachenburg, Windeck und Blauer Hut. It’s the picture that rises up in front of my inner eye when I think “home”.

From street no. 1 to one little bird to one German emperor (Kaiser Wilhelm I.) to another emperor (Franz Joseph I.) to another street no. 1 – number round about.
