Who said linoleum had to be on the floor?
The word for the One Word Photo Challenge this week is: Linoleum. Here –> are more.
Once a year
No, I don’t mean the traces of the River Rhine in the distance, nor the town of Rüdesheim on its banks, nor the strange totem poles, nor even the old monastery in front of which this guy was kneeling. It’s his back – with the locations of all the German national HHH meetings since 1989 on his shirt. Good times!
This is posted as part of the Thursday Special Traces of the Past, by Lost in Translation.
If cats could talk, they wouldn’t.

Criss-cross
A pure – if boring – crossed line. But seldom have I seen such a perfect right angle in the sky.
No comment necessary.
It’s not a collage. I took the picture because I liked the sign with the playing kids but it ended up looking like a deliberate patchwork.
The ultimate in crossed lines, of course, is a half-timbered house. This one stands in Lorsch, Germany. It is typical for the area with the wooden structure resting on a stone walls forming the ground floor.

Chickens aren’t the only ones
The hatchling peeping out of an egg is an Elwetritsch, a mythical creature from the Southwest of Germany. This particular one is part of a fountain in Neustadt an der Weinstraße. If you want to read up on Elwetritsche (apparently they’ve made their way to the New World where they are known amongst the Pennsylvania Dutch as Elbedritsch) you can look them up on Wikipedia.
This is in response to The Daily Post prompt “Egg” – more eggy posts can be found here.
The Light Fantastic
Today’s prompt at the One Word Photo Challenge is light. For more contributions click here.
The title, once again, I owe to Sir Terry Pratchett.
Count, counting, counts
When we still had a count in our town he lived with his family in this castle. Today it is used for the offices of the town council. My dad used to work in one of the offices and when I visited him as a little girl I loved to walk up the flight of steps, counting each one, past two naked ladies in black marble, and imagine myself a young revolutionary charged with numerous counts of rebellion.
This is for One Word Sunday with the topic “count“. More counts can be found here.
