Cee showed a photo with a seemingly useless stair leading to a window.
I picked the negative. Doors that are very obviously in need of stairs but weren’t so lucky.

It’s Not Classic
Germans used to be quite Francophile but these days English rules. So petillant water is marketed as “medium”, as opposed to “classic” (i.e. highly effervescent).
Petillant water is moderately sparkling water. Lots of people like it. To me it could be labelled “used to be sparkling, now just stale”.
For FOWC with Fandango: Moderate and The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Petillant.

Fruit Wheels
They don’t look like they have anything to do with fruit but they do. For a month or two in spring they cover they lie around naked next to the strawberry fields, the aspargus fields, and the orchards with espalier fruit trees. For the rest of the year they are used as spools for the protective plastic foil that is wrapped around the blooms of the early plants or the ground under which the asparagus ripen that much faster.

Do I dare?
In 2018 the European Union enacted the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) which governs the use of personal data. For photographers things changed. Contrary to what is happening on social media the photographing of people has become quite difficult as the permission of any individual has to be obtained (preferably in writing) – BEFORE taking the photo. There are exceptions, such as pictures where people just happen to be included in the photograph but it is not allowed to single out individuals. So photos like this (taken a few years back):
are not really possible anymore. In future I will have to take photos like this (taken at the same event a few years later) to be on the safe side:
