Old and new
Worms, a town on the Rhine between Mannheim and Mainz, can trace its origines back to the years B.C. and the citizens were challenged to incorporate old walls and buildings into the modern lay-out throughout the ages. The town walls we see today were built from the 12th century onwards on foundations dating back to walls of the Roman military garrissn that stood here in the first century A.D. The big gate to one of the bridges crossing the River Rhine is much newer, and the houses can be anything from a few decades to a few centuries old.

Over an alien horizon
It may be a cliché but snow can change a familiar landscape in a short time, often it happens overnight.
In this case, the arms of a wind turbine just over the hill might possibly suggest an alien structure, and the wary astronaut drudging through the foreign landscape towards an unknown fate.

It’s the little things in (wild)life
A common old garden snail (served on an autumn leave).
A baby fire salamander chilling in its nursery pond.

Another wall was decorated a few years earlier, unfortunately there are spaces for cars right in front.
