Nervous Apprehension
You’ve heard of the largest and oldest Oktoberfest of the world (–> Bavaria). This button is from the largest winefest of the world. This button is from 2012 and it reads: “I am so very nervous and excited! Oh yeah, it’s the Wurstmarkt in Bad Dürkheim!” As you probably guessed, it’s not happening this year but I’m already looking forward to the next one, whenever it will happen.

Cultural Appropriation
I can guarantee beyond doubt that all of the photos below are Scot-free. And the wearers of these kilts got away scot-free with the cultural appropriation.
Last on the Card in August
Camera SD
A small caveat for the phone SD: it’s not really the very last on the card. I use my smartphone extensively at work and the last photos were of the vaccination cards of my students (if they are vaccinated they don’t have to test for COVID twice a week). Obviously, I cannot share those.
Phone SD
So, 20 photos back – this is it. I feel questions like “What is it?” coming on. So here is a short explanation: It’s a crochet wine glass holder to hang around your neck so that you can have your hands free while rambling through the vineyards sampling the wine from the various cellars on “Weinwanderung” days.

Meet Paul, the Rescue Dog
Paul is a search and rescue dog – provided he passes his test next month (which I don’t doubt for a second). He will then help his human, who is a fire fighter, to look for missing people. He has a second job, at which he is very successful: he is a cuddly, beautiful dog.

Is It a Country? Is It a State? No, It’s a Huge Lady in Bronze!
This is not Bavaria the country but the female personification of the country (or German state) as she looks over Munich, the Bavarian capital.
She stand over 18 metres tall and weighs almost 90 tons.
She towers over the Wiesn, officially called Theresienwiese – a large, barren place that in September each year (except when COVID is around) is covered by beer tents and amusement rides and turns into the largest and oldest Oktoberfest of the world.
To the north is St Paul’s Church with three imposing spires.
And just a bit to the right the iconic towers of the Frauenkirche, the Cathedral of Our Dear Lady, can be seen over the roofs of the nearby houses.
