German doesn’t recogonise a difference between shadow and shade, it’s both Schatten to Germans.
I happen to come across this lovely spot today. To sit in the shade of two majestic linden trees
and look onto the 1200-year-old Einhard basilica, one of very few buildings dating back to the Carolingan area north of the Alps,
and then to go inside and marvel at the shadows which were the same ones looked on by the visitors of the basilica when it was newly built.

A couple of month back we were alerted by fire brigade sirens and fire engines speeding past the wall surrounding our property.
A house a couple of streets away was burning and we could observe the fire fighters in full action. They extinguished the fire and continued for a long while to douse the building to ensure that the fire would not restart.
One fire engine and its crew stayed for several hours to make sure that everything was safe.
The men and women are volunteers. The statement on the truck reads:
“Our leisure time for your security.“
If the past months have taught me anything it is that my security does not exist in isolation. This holds true relating to the overall fabric of society and to the simple fact of somebody wearing a face mask to protect me.

That’s a quote from the TV series Friends. Joey goes on: “It’s like a cow’s opinion, it doesn’t matter.”

Becky has quoted Ansel Adams for today’s square perspective (which I did inadvertently only last week without knowing that Adams had said it before me – and countless others, I’m sure – because it is such a truism).
