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.
