Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.

Watching … from a distance

Cee’s Black and White Challenge this week: In the distance

01

The Plitvice National Park in Croatia – it works in monochrome but it is really shame to hide the turquoise waters of the lakes and waterfalls.

02

Also in Croatia, somewhere along the coast.

Faulhorn

The Faulhorn above Grindelwald in Switzerland.  The distance is relative to whether one is ascending or descending.

El Comandante Gorrión – Spatz Guevara

oddball 15

I found this bird in the German city of Ulm. Sparrows are the mascots of the city and are in evidence all over town but this one – El Comandante gorrión – perfect with the Cuban cigar in his beak “takes the bird” (the English expression “to take the cake” translates as “to shoot down the bird” in German which I found quite appropriate in the circumstance).  I should add that all the other sparrows carry sticks to build a nest rather than cigars.
