A Different Slant

I quite like this photo even though it’s skew.

So at first I straightened boat, losing the first oar and losing some of the photos appeal to me.

Then I gave it the water colour treatment making the photo crisp and grainy.

I prefer the oil painting treatment because of the fluidity which kind of fits the water.

It’s Windows Alright

But are these awnings? Shutters? Dormers? Is it a roof? Or a facade?

It is the Carl-Bosch-Museum in Heidelberg. Carl Bosch was a German engineer, and chemist, and a Nobel Prize laureate. The technical museum is situated behind the Heidelberg Castle with quiet a curious mixture of exhibits. Some are from his private life, exhibits from his time working with high pressure apparatus are displayed on the outside, mainly because of their size, and then there is the modern building featured here which houses a wonderful collection of technical experiments, designed for children but equally fascinating for adults.

The building does justice to this innovate approach.

I’m a Fan of a Maize Maze

What it looks when you’re in the maize maze:

And this is what it looks like if you’re tall and on your tippy toes;

But mostly it looks like this:

The object is to find nine boards with clues to a puzzle which will lead to a one word solution. Every year the maze is new and has a different theme. This year it is about Greek and Roman mythology.

In the middle is a tower structure where one is able to get an overview of the maze:

With renewed hope to find the final board and the last clue one can go back down but then it’s back to this:

Fortunately we weren’t stuck in the maze until the end of the harvest. This little fellow led us out. If you believe that.

I’m a fan of … #223

The All Black in the Family

The rest of us are Springbok supporters.

When Henry came to live with us he already had a name. His pet names around here are Jonah, or Lomu, or Richie, or McCaw.
