Redbrick gothic found in Lüneburg, northern Germany. Over 400 years ago, this house was build and the stone commemorating the event has weathered the times.
This is for The Daily Post. More weathered photos can be found here.
A walk amongst the exotic
The Exotenwald in Weinheim (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotenwald_Weinheim) is the local forest, just a few steps from the centre of town. It was established in the middle of the 19th century and it has many exotic trees – not planted as single individuals but in large groups over hectares of woodland. Since it is so close to town with unrestricted access it used to be my playground when I was little. I still like to go for walks there – the following photos were all taken on a single afternoon this summer.
This last photo is of the mausoleum in the corner of the park, just where the woodlands start. It’s the grave of the family von Berckheim, Freiherr Christian F.B. von Berckheim started the arboretum.
This is for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: needs to have the letters O and U in the word.
Idyllic country scene
The mural might be wishful thinking considering the building on which it is painted:
This is from Lorsch, Germany, and it is, of course, a Monday Mural. More murals can be found here.
Did you mean Barbara or Paul Mansion?
Oh, I see, you meant a mansion like this.

Oddball is back
Cee’s Oddball photo challenge is back! Yeah!
I take this opportunity to wish everybody a belated happy New Year. These are totally unambitious impressions from the private fireworks for the New Year’s celebration. No tripod, no special camera settings, just what I could click and surprise myself with one gloved hand (holding a glass of bubbly in the other, wishing it was hot tea instead).
More oddballs can be found here.

“I’ll have some water, thanks.”
I checked the dictionary where “vorglühen” is variously translated as pre-gaming, pre-drinking, pre-partying. However, this sign would have the opposite effect on me.
One Word Sunday asked for abstinence. More photos related to the concept are here.
Take a walk on the sedate side
Sunday pastime: a walk around the lake, anytime of year.
