Bright Square
Our old town hall was shining in bright colours last year (that was the consolation replacement for the cancelled Christmas market). Past centuries looking on our recent past.

Spiced up Pumpkin
Another daily challenge for October – Tourmaline’s annual Halloween challenge. I’ve tried to do all the prompts with four friends I’ve picked up in a 1 Euro store (all four for 1 Euro) but it didn’t quite work out. However, they will feature in quite a few of the photos. Today is the first day of the challenge and the prompt is pumpkin.
Run-up to Halloween. First day of October. Pumpkin.
Isn’t It Romantic?
Waldeinsamkeit is a German romantic concept, usually explained as “solitude in a forest”. The poem in this hut, which is dedicated to a former head forester, quotes all the clichés of the romantics’ conception of forest versus town.
It translates (more or less) like this: If you feel too crowded in the town, and too distressed at home, then leave the pressing throng behind and escape into the quiet woods. Allow yourself to settle down here. Calmness and woodland solitude creates peace, and unites once again what keeps the wicked world apart.
But still has another meaning and I wouldn’t be true to myself if I wouldn’t add this:
Is it still there?
Last on the Card in September
Camera SD
The weather was nice yesterday and I went to the local botanical garden where there is a small pond. I was in a good mood until I got a phone call that made me pack away the camera and go home. My mood matched the one of the fish, I think.
Phone SD
I wear one ring and never a necklace. But I do wear earrings. I took the photo to show somebody the new feet earrings and the S.H.I.T.S. brooch I made. In case you are wondering: it means “Saturday Hash in the Summer” (I only wear it when I’m around people who know what it stands for.)
For Brian’s Last on the Card in September on bushboys world.
Blue Square
I’ve participated in 14 square themes: blue, bright, kind, light, lines, perspectives, pink, roof, round, spiky, time, top, tree, and up. So – I’m set up until October 14 with a square that would have made the final cut if I had taken the photo at this time. And I’ve tried to pick photos that combine one of the 14 themes with past. I know that squares are full of inspiration and that I end up in a completely different space from what I’ve started. Therefore I’m looking forward to square 15 – who knows what it’ll be.
I love to start with this square. He fits the the theme past – just look at him: if he could talk what stories he would tell about his past. He would have been perfect for blue squares.
