Amuse bouche

as the Americans call it. Technically it is the polite form of amuse geule which is what the French call it but the Americans can’t pronounce.

This is what happens when you start to enjoy cooking during lockdown and then you happen to glance a glimpse of yourself in the mirror.

Build-up

The upper Rhine Valley – approximately 40km wide at this point, looking from Weinheim towards Bad Dürkheim, with the cities of Mannheim and Ludwigshafen in between – is a buildup area.

UP Square #28.

Let’s gow, don’t be slow!

Miaow!

Look at my claw!

It’s definitely a match for this eagle’s claw – who, btw, eats his meat raw.

More claws, in bronze and iron, black and rust.

Personally, I prefer little claws with little birds attached. I just wish those swallows weren’t so high up, and I so low!

To fear or not to fear

RED
Attention
In case of an approaching thunderstorm immediately leave the open-air ground and take cover in a building protected by a lightning conductor.  
GREEN
Zeus comes from the Greek mythology.
We always want to risk it.
Rain, thunder, hail and lightning.
We do not fear the cold weather.
(NB: The words kind of rhyme.  There are spelling and grammar mistakes in the German text; I found it in a scouting location in Switzerland.)
