This wayside shrine is called Kalter Herrgott (Cold Lord).  It is found near the village of Ritschweier in the Odenwald, Germany, on the brow of a hill where cold winds blow.

The barren looks of the fields after the harvest point towards the autumn

even though it is still hot.

With the wind blowing over the stubbles, autumn isn’t far away anymore:

Wenn der Wind über die Stoppelfelder weht, ist der Herbst nicht mehr fern.

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge had an open topic this week.  Mine was After the Harvest.
