The statue of Germania looking to French threat to the West.

Food grows where the water flows
You might have heard that Germany is in the grip of a drought and fields are brown and yellow. Water needs to be moved to them, or in this case shot with travelling sprinklers.
More moving water can be found can be found at Jude’s Black and White Sunday.

Gugge mol do!
Guggemusik is played by bands, mainly during carnival, in Switzerland and the southwestern part of Germany. The English Wikipedia describes the style like this: “It is a strongly rhythmic music of distinctive style played with brass instruments, pipes and drums. Although melodies remain clearly recognizable, they are at times played “off-key”, intentionally and often quite skillfully. Driven by a dominant rhythm section, the music sounds twisted and thrilling, very danceable and perfect for spontaneous street concerts during the “wild days” of Carnival.” This particular group are the “Pantoffelgugge”, the band of the “Pantoffelhelden”.
