I am normally reluctant to rob flowers of their colours but monochrome draws the viewer to observe the shape and of course, they have so much to offer in this regard as well.

And now for something completely different: I had prepared a posting for today (using Debbie’s preview) with an entirely different meaning. So as a bonus track, I add this:

Last weekend I was in Neustadt an der Weinstraße and I was literally running through the town (a kind of hares and hound game) with my camera around my neck and I snapped a few pictures whenever we had a short break to catch our breaths. For all that haste I like the result of the shot above.
This one resulted in an unintentional selfie – although I didn’t try to photograph behind the glass but was interested in the name.

This last one was taken at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland, UK. In addition to dealing with photographing through glass there is the problem of lighting in museums to struggle with.
More photographs with subjects under glass here.
This figure walks about in München (Munich, Germany) – coming to think of it, it could have featured in last week’s one word prompt of The Daily Post with the subject “pedestrian”. But this week it is all about scale.

and I like to watch (if I’m not playing and running along).

I seem to find these more traditional murals around here.

This one – from the old part of town of “Newtown an der Weinstraße” in Rhineland Pallatium, Germany – is called “Phantastische Allegorie zu Neustadt und der Lebensfreude” (Phantastic allegorie about Neustadt and zest for life). It was created by Werner Holz for H. Grübius (both names appear in the picture). I’m not sure about the date, I believe I can read 1990something, the artist died in 1991.
