79 light within a
Live every moment, laugh every day, love your life.

The light in the bottle: I don’t know if I like the intended meaning in the caption, or the one owed to the printer’s mishap: Love your liver (especially since this light is caught in a wine bottle.

79 light within c

The light in the hat: The photo was taken on a Saint Martin’s Day parade. This was the guitarist who led the procession of nursery school children through the village.

79 light within b

The light in the pumpkin: Not quite the right season but too good to omit.

This is for Nancy’s A Photo a Week: lit from within.

More lit up photos can be found at a drop of a hat … I mean click of a mouse.

She flies by her own wings

I almost missed this challenge – A Photo a Week Challenge: Things with wings – so I looked at all the entries so far and I won’t even try to compete with all the gorgeous birds, and bees, and butterflies.

And to round it off here is a German car number plate.  I like that sometimes the letters make actual words.  It helps if you live in Wiesbaden (WI) but really sucks for people living in the Börde area (WZL) – formerly Wanzleben (“here there be bugs”).

star wars

When we used to live on the highveld in  South Africa bright blue skies without a cloud in sight where the order of the day during winter.  In reference to a Perry Rhodan story (a German scifi series, published in pulp fiction form) we used to call it “das blaue System” (the blue system – a defense shield around planets which manifested by bright blue skies without any colour gradient).  How can I not use the photo of this aircraft with the “Star Wars” logo blazoned across it to illustrate this idea?

Contrary to popular belief, we have blue system skies even in Germany.

For A Photo a Week with the theme blue.

Nancy Meryll was asking for a series of photos from above and from below of the same thing for A Photo a Week.  These photos were taken in Neustadt an der Weinstraße at the festival of the wine harvest.  From the top of the ferris wheel one has a great view of the festival, the town, and the whole area.  And from below it’s a structure of metal beams.

On 3 October 2015, we were in attendance when South Africa played Scotland in St James’ Park in Newcastle during the group matches for the Rugby Wold Cup 2015.  We were high up in the stands and I had a new camera with me:

Since Nancy decided to show football, I thought I add some rugby action for A Photo a Week Challenge: movement.

66 details a

I saw this car parked on the side of the road.  If you can’t do anything with the background, you have to go for the details.

Lucky me, Nancy at A Photo a Week Challenge happen to ask for details this week.

So here they are:
