A sunset to complement Becky’s sunrise with which she started off Febodduary, or rather: a month of odd squares in February. Not a pink and orange blaze of the sun going down over the Rhine Valley but a a lowered sun muted and dark through dust blown all the way from North Africa. A Sahara sandstorm in Germany which although it seems to spell doom is actually the reason why our area has such fertile soil.
Some people wear coats purely because it is expediant.
Whereas for others the look is the important factor.
I am quite familiar with the hadeda – the ibis living in sub-Saharan Africa. And then I saw the Scarlet Ibis in the zoo and it looks like a hadeda who has dropped in a pot of bright red paint. Stunning!
These are the windows of the classroom in which I teach. It’s actually quite a big room, the window side is at least 6 metres but because of the foreshortening in the picture it looks cramped. Outside the window it is green, a slope of grass, but not as green as at the other side of the building.

Macro Monday
We live in a house that was built less than 10 years ago. A new house then – our neighbour’s house – not so much. It was a farm house but by the time we moved in it wasn’t active anymore. This is the view from the street, our seven apartment house in front on the left, the old house at the back to the right.
