Edited row of houses
All I did was increase backlighting. This was the original photo, taken in the old part of Heidelberg.

Time is fleeting
I go away and come again each day,
But thou shalt go away and ne’er return.

Truck driver, where are you bound?
Cars and trucks photographed in the city. They are not very good pictures, rather taken on the go, but these trucks got my attention because of their paint jobs (mostly).
A Dutch visitor with words that either suggest a fat tree or “first we dig, then –> boom” (I do not speak Dutch, obviously).
“We want Wulle” – Wulle is a beer from a small, local brewery. The name is pretty close to my proper family name so it wasn’t just the nifty red paint job that caught my eye.
The team truck for a small football club. The “e.v.” stands for registered association.
An ice cream truck with the wonderful name of “The Ice Princes” on the side.
More advertising, for a house painting company this time. A very professional job.
As opposed to this fancyful job of an enthusiastic amateur.
And a neglected bus – nature will claim its own!
Not a truck but this official car of the RWC 2015 was spotted in Birmingham. A nod to the next Rugby World Cup happening right now. I wonder what the official RWC 2019 vehicles in Japan look like? Cherry blossom pink is my guess.

Out of the window

Palace windows
These are windows from the Heidelberg Castle (Renaissance), Gersfeld, Schwetzingen and Mannheim palace (all three Baroque buildings).
Heidelberg, Mannheim and Schwetzingen are in close proximity of each other – one can see that sandstone is a prevalent building material in the area. Gersfeld is not that far away, about the same distance from Frankfurt to the north-east as the others are south.

Mist, memories!
In the Fog
Strange, to wander in the fog.
Each bush and stone stands alone,
No tree sees the next one,
Each is alone.
Hermann Hesse
These are the first lines of one of the most well known poems in German:
Im Nebel
Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern!
Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein,
Kein Baum sieht den anderen,
Jeder ist allein.
But since I started this, at least partly, I give you my very own poem limerick:
There once was a lady who liked to blog,
Who was out taking photos, stumbling through fog.
She kept shouting crossly: “Who had this idiotic idea?”
And even more loudly: “What the fog am I doing here?”
“I’d rather be home with my sweetheart and snog.”

PS: The title of my post is an English/German wordplay. German “Mist” literally means manure in English but it is a widely used expletive when other words seem too strong.
