Kapitelsaal der Wachenburg

This is the chapter house of the Wachenburg in Weinheim, a room where large meetings are held. Normally one finds such halls in church related buildings such as monastries or cathedrals but this chapter house is part of a castle built by an association of fraternities. It is used once a year by the association itself when the fraternity members have their annual meeting, the rest of the year it can be booked for events.

“The world is wide.
No two days are alike, nor even two hours, neither were there ever two leaves of a tree alike since the creation of all the world; and the genuine productions of art, like those of nature, are all distinct from each other.”

John Constable

I’ve never yet managed to catch those apple trees in bloom; I’m worried that since they are so ancient that I will never do. So there are only three seasons on display.

A wild goose chase

What started out as an argument (or possibly a bullying incident)

amongst domestic geese

turned into a wild fracas

before settling down again when everyone left.

Three of a kind – or is it 4?

The light was queer and I just clicked quickly to snap the three herons flying past. Since most of the storks (but not all) have left, there are more herons in the field. Yesterday I counted five. Anyway, only on the computer screen did I see the spec on the upper left side and realised there was another kind of flyer in the air.
