Who had the better perspective? Me looking down? Him looking up? Did we meet?

Wish you were beer
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.

Home is more than old bricks
“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”.

A policeman, a market-woman, were standing …
Smiles all round with these two life-size sculptures in the middle of Koblenz in the Rhine valley. They depict a market-woman and a policeman illustrating an old joke which is written on a plaque in the local dialect (about Norbert’s dog who peed on the leg of the market-woman’s husband).

Every little flower’s reaching for the sun
I like experimenting in monochrome but I don’t like robbing flowers off their colours. So for Cee’s challenge I made it so that I couldn’t see the original colours but chose a picture from a series of monochromes. To check up after I had made my choice I looked at the coloured version and I just can’t not show it:
