I thought of this photo first when I read the prompt. Liquid gold. Sunset over our small lake.
But then … I thought of the glass blowers at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland.

This Is Probably Cyprus
In fact, it is definitely Cyprus. Near Polis Chrysochous.

Greetings, Adventurer
So starts the preface of The Complete Ankh-Morpork City Guide by Terry Pratchett (aided and abetted by the discworld emporium).
The book itself is one that makes one love books made of paper.

A Prayer for a Mountaineer
“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.”

I Am a Frog
So what do I know? To me – that’s a cello. And if you had my fingers you’d pluck it, too, rather than using a bow.

Blushing Sandstone
There are strange looking faces decorating the capstones of various gateways of the Mannheim Palace. This one got my particular attention. What has the old biddy so embarrassed that she is biting her lip so desperately?

The World’s Favourite Sport
Not mine, I’m afraid. But I have a husband, I have two sons, and I’m German. So along the way I picked up some knowledge about German if not much of the enthusiasm that others feel.
Five matches were played in Kaiserslautern (my husband’s hometown) when Germany hosted the World Cup in 2006. In a square near the train station there are ten statues of players from all the teams that played in K’town (that’s what the US soldiers stationed nearby call it). They are slightly larger than life and I think made of papier mâché judging by the yellow-green moss growing on them.
While I do not share this escape route I acknowledge that for many people all over the world it is the perfect escapism.
