In Bad Wildbad House Swabia features a mural around some small panelled windows.

After three days so grey that I had the impression that it never got quite light even at midday we woke up the “blue system” today. That’s a private sci-fi reference where an alien race bars all communication of a planet with the outside – … Continue reading The Blue System
