So hot it is white – the fire in the kiln of a glass blower.

Bleached, flaxen, pale – well, if he had shaved I might have used the pic for festive.

Angles everywhere.

It was summer and somebody had cooled the beer so much that when it was opened and put down the liquid and foam rose up and froze to the shelve.  If that happens again, can I say: “Have an algid beer?”  😀

Tourmaline is promising another 120 days feast of colour.  Here is my entry for the first week (I used the holiday break to play ahead).  I’m trying a different presentation for this year.  Let’s see if I can / want to keep it up.

Reading names of towns with a foreign language in mind can be quite fun.  I am NOT going to show you the town sign of the famous town in Austria beginning with F (only because I’ve never been there).  But I hear that to get there you have to go to Kissing and Petting in Germany first before your cross the border and arrive in F.

My town signs are not quite as rude.  But I’ve always wondered whether this town in Brandenburg, Germany:

should be twinned with this one in the Alsace region of France:

This is for A Photo a Week Challenge. Nancy was asking for signs.
