Sweet or savoury, what’s your pleasure?

2018 food art b

A waffle with a kind of marshmallow centre, it was a staple at the kiosk at the public swimming pool when I was little.  It has made kind of a comeback on the supermarket shelves, like other nostalgia food.  It tastes as artificial as the pastel colours.

 

Flammkuchen

A Flammekueche, the tarte flambé from the Alsace region boxed up.  It’s not the traditional one with onions, bacon and sour cream but made with olives, pepperoni, and feta cheese.  Modern varieties have become fashionable in German beer gardens during the last few years.

I’m a fan of rapeseed

065 rape a

I’m not sure whether I am in favour of the proliferation of rape seed fields all over the country, some grown for being made into oil but the majority made into petrol.  I am also not in favour of the yellow muck that descends on cars and windows during its flowering time.  But I can’t help being fan of the strips of yellow in the rural landscape, of the yellow fields and of the delicate little flowers.

Divided and misaligned

Verspannte Teilung, a bronze sculpture in Michelstadt im Odenwald.  It’s open to interpretation. If you put a sphere  in a vice and misalign the pieces, you end up with a distorted globe.Verspannte Teilung

It’s plain sailing

2017 sailing a

Sailing in the late afternoon on the waters of the mouth of the river Wear.

2017 sailing b

The water glistening, the coast hazy in the background.

And now for something completely  (?) different:

2017 sailing c

Sailing on the river Neckar where it is a mere 120 metres wide, with river cruise ships making the waterway even narrower, this guy showed some real acrobatics.
