I’ll meet you at the park

It was exhilarating watching these two dogs meat each other in the local park.

They literally jumped with joy – right out of my picture but I couldn’t leave this shot out of the series.

Monument much?

On a recent visit to a cemetery I came upon this mausoleum. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe that they had a connection to Egypt or the ancient world. A quick search came up with the fact that the man buried here with his wife was a native of Heidelberg, emigrated to the US where he bought several large breweries, and sold these to return to his native town towards the end of his life. He died in 1912. The memorial is impressive (if verging on kitsch) but I can’t help thinking that it doesn’t serve the memory of the actual man (or in a perverse way, maybe it does).

Mainhattan

Frankfurt is the only city in my vicinity that has something of a discernable skyline, the only proper high rise buildings in Germany that I know. Coming to think of it, it’s the only town that comes close to being a city around here. It’s traversed by the river Main and hence it sometimes carries the moniker Mainhattan.
