In the Lautertal, a valley in the southern part of the state of Hesse in Germany, is the “Felsenmeer” or sea of stones. The geological processes which created this natural phenomenon happened almost 400 million years ago, over time erosion laid bare these boulders. Romans quarried them, and there are about 150 work pieces left from these times which were left behind.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: rocks, boulders, stone. More rocky and stoney photos can be found here.
I decided to pick only three of the five colours in Paula’s Thursday Special: Pick a Word – golden, pale pink, and maroon.
I still have so many photos of not yet fallen fall leaves and I thought this was as good an opportunity as any to display them.
More colourful photos can be found here.
All these people were caught unawares for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – more people caught can be found here.
A negative circle is a hole, I guess, except in this case.
For One Word Sunday: circle. More circular photos or photos of circles can be found here.
The light in the bottle: I don’t know if I like the intended meaning in the caption, or the one owed to the printer’s mishap: Love your liver (especially since this light is caught in a wine bottle.
The light in the hat: The photo was taken on a Saint Martin’s Day parade. This was the guitarist who led the procession of nursery school children through the village.
The light in the pumpkin: Not quite the right season but too good to omit.
This is for Nancy’s A Photo a Week: lit from within.
More lit up photos can be found at a drop of a hat … I mean click of a mouse.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: hot and cold.
Why not go to extremes for a change?

To me photography must suggest, not insist or explain.

Another quote by Debbie on Travel with Intent. More photos inspired by this saying are found here.
Don’t swat (sic) the small stuff.
For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: close up or macro. More close looks can be found at Cee’s site.
It may be the first Sunday of Advent but I am not quite ready to let go of autumn. Lines. Rows and rows of growing wine – Riesling, Grauburgunder, Gewürztraminer, Merlot, Shiraz … I love them all. PS: Today’s Oxford Dicitionary’s Word of the Day is bibulous, aka: excessively fond of alcoholic beverages 😉
For One Word Sunday: lines. More lineage can be found here.
I almost missed this challenge – A Photo a Week Challenge: Things with wings – so I looked at all the entries so far and I won’t even try to compete with all the gorgeous birds, and bees, and butterflies.
And to round it off here is a German car number plate. I like that sometimes the letters make actual words. It helps if you live in Wiesbaden (WI) but really sucks for people living in the Börde area (WZL) – formerly Wanzleben (“here there be bugs”).
