Glad, to see the back of you
This is the back of the war memorial in our town. Erected in 1936, it did both at the time: commemorate the men who had died in the first world war, and glorify the war itself, preparing the population for the next one. The names of the dead from that war where added in the fifties.

On the brink
… and it’s just about to drop!
And now for something completely different. This photo is from the South Africa vs Scotland game during the Rugby World Championship 2015 (one of the only two international matches I have ever been to). It’s really not fair to post a photo from a rugby match for this topic as you can just point the camera and something is happening. But I thought I’d share this tender moment between Francois Louw and Schalk Burger just before a line out (at any other time, this gesture might have been misunderstood):

What are you doing here?
Cee asked for animals for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge. I found a squirrel yesterday. Or did it find me?
More animal shots can be found here.

Sunday is collage day for me; every Sunday, without fail, I publish a collage for Aino’s Värikollaasit. (Today, for example, this one. So – here is my collage for One Word Sunday: sense.

After the harvest surprise
I saw this stork stalking through the cut off wheat stalks (oh my!) and grabbed my camera. If I noticed the two spots in the back to the left of him, I didn’t give them a second thought.
I got closer. Magnificent bird, I thought, totally focused on the stork.
I zoomed in. What a wonderful bird!
Only at home, when I had transferred the photos to my computer and saw them on the larger screen, I realised that those brown, indistinct lumps had ears.

Alpha and Omega
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
Winston Churchill
And that includes the cobwebs.
