Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.
Go, go! Only twenty more to go!
On Sunday, there is the next Frankfurt half marathon. These are photos from last year’s race.
The roads are blocked off for the runners. Cars and police men on motorbikes clear the road just ahead of the runners.
The front runners are so fast, they are difficult to catch on camera.
Some seem to fly over the surface.
The first few hundred runners take little notice of anything around them, they just concentrate on the road.
The slower runners seem to have a lot more fun, smiling and sometimes even joking amongst themselves.
Some even acknowledge the cheering spectators and groupies on the side of the road.
And just before the end, well deserved nourishment and reward (aka: beer) is handed out to a selected few to help them over the finishing line.

Appreciation
For A Photo A Week, in honour of Women’s Day.
I’ve used the photo before (and the artworks – these are actually two separate installations – have completely different themes). This is what the almost unprocessed photo looks like:
More women can be found here.
Growing large
A large living subject. A tree, photographed at night.
A man-made, woman-shaped large subject, made of stone. This is the “floozie in the jacuzzi” of Birmingham, officially known as “The River”.
Almost as large as rocks can get on earth, the Eiger in Switzerland.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge asking for large subjects. More of these can be found here.
Take a leaf out of nature’s book
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge has a nature cycle going on and this week it is leaves or trees.
More of these can be found here.
Stay calm and admire the dragon
If you know Wagner and his Ring cycle, you know about Siegfried and the dragon. The Nibelungen are said to have had their palace in Worms, in the Upper Rhine Plain. So no wonder that images of dragons can be found in the town.
For Monday Murals. More murals and graffiti can be found here.
Totem pole or decorated tree?
Another front garden find. I was drawn to this pole by the bright yellow fellow and only then discovered the other figures.
For Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge. More oddballs can be found here.
Tree bark and more ducks
Today I have two collages to offer. Completely different in style, but as always: a lot of fund to put together.
The given colours were these:
More colour collages can be found on the Värikollaasit site.
