Have a Guess

What building could have these dour, uniform windows? What could be so rectangular and devoid of any decoration and – dare I say it – charm?

Be careful, though, while you’re thinking somebody might be watching you.

And then you realise: it’s the BKA, the Bundeskriminalamt, the Federal Criminal Police Office, in other words: the German equivalent of the FBI.

The Situation Went over Our Heads

· 10 Comments ·

We were in Wiesbaden today, minding our own business when we were interrupted by trumpeting noises which seemed to come from a bit of a distance.

The cranes were on their way south and we were directly in their flight path.

All of them trumpeting as if to warn anybody to get out of their way.

In reality they communicate amongst themselves, particularly among families: the parents lead their youngins who make the trip for the first time.

They can fly up to 2000 km non-stop. They fly from northern and north-eastern Europe to southern Europe and Africa where they spend their winters.

They came in several waves, some groups in classical v-formation, some in a broader pattern.

Attention on the flower with bee and attention of the (huge) buff-tailed bumble bee.

Emphasis on the waves of lilac asters or emphasis on the single bloom with a busy visitor.

The cat or the chicken, fur or feathers, green eye or orange eye.
