Artificial perspective
It took me almost the whole month of July to find out that my photo editing program has a button called “perspective” with which you can tilt a picture.

With or without
motors.
Many schools are named for Otto Lilienthal, the pioneer in aviation, particularly near Berlin, where he lived and tried out his gliding contraption.
I’m sure the first people seeing Lilienthal in the sky were as mesmerised as these onlookers – admiring a glider that flies through the air without motor.

Worms’ view
The town on the left side of the river Rhine is called Worms which should explain the title. It used to be just one bridge (the right one) but traffic between the state of Hesse and the Palatium had become so much that they added the left one a few years ago and made each a one way bridge. I’ve just read that the older bridge dating back to 1953 has to be replaced in the next few years as renovation is not possible. However, only the part that actually crosses the water needs to be replaced, the new bridge will fit seamlessly with the old parts on either end. A perspective to look forward to.

Painted windows
I’ve used a panaroma shot of this housing development before and was asked why there are no real windows on this side of the building. I don’t have an answer. But I like the building nevertheless, at least from the outside.

Deceptive
Shiny, smooth new leaves in front of rough, weathered stone.
Or is it?
You just have to get close enough.

It wasn’t the Tom who was peeping
I came upon this sportsman who took his workout to the streets when COVID closed his gym.

I don’t know why anthurium are called flamingo flowers (or lace leaf for that matter). To me this particular one looks more like a butterfly or possibly an dancer with a swirling skirt – from every perspective.
