or bicycle perspective?
For the final square for July, I thought I’ll go for a selfie of sorts. It is a reflection of myself (a flattering one at that as the street mirror elongated me just a smidgen) and self-reflection is always a good start to get a new perception of the world.

I was out on my bike tonight at around sunset and caught the Red Tower with the wide Rhine valley behind it just at the right moment. It is one of three still remaining towers which were part of the town wall of Weinheim.

We all love a good show and this cow was prepared to give me one. Before she played dead (good one, ey?!) she shook her head at me and then slowly, very theatrically keeled over.

Size is not grandeur, and territory does not make a nation.”
Thomas Huxley
This mural was conceived and transferred to the highrise building by the internationally acclaimed Bahaider. He based it on working with students from this area in Mannheim, who expressed their different ethnic and cultural heritage in drawings. He wanted to remind us that living together peacefully doesn’t happen intuitively but needs mutual respect and tolerance, in a neighbourhood where people with backgrounds of more than 127 nations live. The piece is called Nationen in Frieden (Nations in Peace).
