Bohemian History

On Saturday we were running (literally) through Teplice in the Czech Republic. I had only my mobile phone on me and could only snap some pictures in passing. This charming town definitely deserves a return visit. Here are the few windows I managed to capture.

The lines are from the trolley coaches which are operated electrically throughout the town.

Even the simple windows feature decorative details.

And if the stukko work isn’t enough they add flowers.

On my recent bike trip I came across a so-called “Skulpturenpark” in Bad König im Odenwald.

It’s an untidy plot of land next to an industrial site in the back of the local spa garden. There are quite a lot of sculptures scattered over the plot, most of them are quite whimsical, in three or four distinctive styles and by as many artists, I think.

to be or not art is the answer

And now for Something Completely Different … not.

My take on Cee’s Photo:

I send my mates in to check on the territory and help with the set-up.

Of course, my nudibums couldn’t keep their clothes on

and made themselves comfortable.

In the end we managed to set up the shot.

And in case you are wondering from where my orchids get their beautiful colours, here is their secret: it’s lovingly handcrafted.
