Would you be deceived?

Be honest. If you came across this tree next to a tennis club wouldn’t you think that these yellow balls are mis-hit tennis balls?

Or that the club has their own tennis tree and is growing its own crop of balls?

Very deceptive, isn’t it?

Play bridge

Bridges can offer wonderful perspectives.

This one crosses the river Neckar from Seckenheim to Ilvesheim.

And like this bridge for pedestrians and cyclists in Frankfurt over the river Main called Holbeinsteg.

And some look best with their surroundings like this one over the river Neckar in Heidelberg (which has a monkey the left bank – which coincidentally features in Geriatrix’ post today).

And some look beautiful close up, decrepit as they are, like this over the little stream in Schriesheim.

And some are mere boards crossing a stream for only a few hours. Check out Geriatrix’ Fotogallery for the story behind this little bridge.

A martyr to art

Les oliviers by Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh has been called a martyr to his art. But from his suffering came the most glorious paintings.

This one hangs in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh.
