Throw a Light on Wrought Iron
Sometimes it’s details in a piece of wrought iron that catches your eye – in this case helped by a ray of sunlight.
At other times it’s the large statement of a gate – the left one is the gate of the old Jewish cemetery in Hemsbach (the sign says: Be careful – branches might break and fall!), the right one is the side entrance of the Peterskirche in Weinheim.

Wrought iron can be used to create art.

I’ve decided that it looks best from the shore, showing off its beautifully curved pier.

The Usurper Will not Go Unchallenged
Prince Max to the right: the smaller the prince, the more obvious the sign, apparently.
The Central Council of Pond Frogs protests: “This ain’t no prince! We demand a thorough investigations of his credentials!”
