On and in the water
What is on the water and at the same time in the water? Poles and their reflection, of course.
A single pole will do.

The colour of life
“Green is the prime colour of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.”
– Pedro Calderon de la Barca
It is said that the favourite colour of the prophet Mohammad was green. Considering that he lived in a desert country, I can totally relate. How lovely to find green shoots in the sand after a short shower!
However, I wonder if he would approve of the neon coloured trimmings one finds on the outside of many mosques in Saudi Arabia.
The mosque shown here is found in Germany, though, and I admit I tweaked the green tint a bit to make my point.

Always from behind
I never seem to be fast enough to be ahead.

Pick a word
Participants in the spring parade are resplendent in traditional Portuguese costumes.
Is it the wine or the name that is alluring?
A forest plagued by giant ants.
Strictly speaking, not a copycat but a copier cat. We found the cat when we looked in the box the copier came in.
Timeworn wooden clogs.

literally & figuratively
As any grandparent will attest to – grandchildren are rays of sunshine, even when they are covered in tomato sauce.

Modern arcade
This arcade is on the “upper lake” in Böblingen. The area around two lakes in the middle of town was revamped for the “Landesgartenschau” in the late 1990, a horticultural show. When a town is chosen to host the show it is usually done in such a way that the areal can be kept and benefit the inhabitants for years to come. I couldn’t find an explanation for this very tall and very barren – and indeed very vertical – arcade on the lakeside. It provides shade and makes for very nice reflections, though.
For One Word Sunday: vertical.
