Odd a Lot

· 4 Comments ·

It’s Shrove Monday or Rose Monday in areas where they celebrate carnival. It’s another odd carnival year, thanks to – dare I mention it – COVID – with few if any public happenings.

But I couldn’t let the occasion pass without at least one costume. We all had a blast a few years back with this odd costume. The dinosaur was hilarious – it kept losing air and the girl inside kept tumbling over because her sight was limited. It was a lot of fun if a bit odd, or rather, a lot.

To top it all, the photo itself is an exception to my month of oddities. It is the only photo that I had prepared in advance and not waited for other contributions to inspire me.

Thanks to Becky once again for having the idea and hosting. It’s been fun as well as odd.

I’m a Fan of Donkeys

Eeyore, Donkey, Mistlletoe, Sylvester … the one in Aesop’s fable, the one from the Town Musicians from Bremen. All of them.

And the cherry donkey on the top:

Upon Donkeyskin, a street and a wellknown vineyard site in the wine growing region of Neustadt a.d. Weinstraße

Squaring the Bell

Debbie’s oddity of today is Bell Rock. Since this rock formation has a kind of angular look to it I remembered that I have an odd bell in my collection, a square one, in fact. It’s a fire warning bell that is housed in an old wooden tower that is otherwise used to hang fire hoses to dry: Der Schlauchtrockenturm in Ritschweier.

Nationen in Frieden

The mural on this building in Mannheim is called “Nations in Peace – Colourful Cultures”. It has been designed with students from two schools under the guidance of the artist Bahaiden.

Peace

This painted pebble has the same message – albeit on a much smaller scale.

Both are necessary.
