I sit this one out

2023 bench d

What a lovely place to sit in the garden (until the cherries ripen and they start dropping down and leaving stains).

2023 bench b

You don’t have to sit on a bench, you know.

2023 bench a

And some benches I don’t want to sit on (btw that’s a bench on an autobahn rest area, i.e. the large garbage can is necessary, I guess).

REntnerbaenkchen Chillen

And last not least a dedicated bench for pensioners who need a rest during shopping.

Krötenwanderung

Krötengasse

This is a groaner in German and I have to explain.  A funny synonym for money is Kröten, or toads.  So I found this sign where to find the next branch of the local bank, which happens to be in Toad Lane, particularly fitting for One Word Sunday: money.

The literal meaning of Krötenwanderung is toad migration but it can be used in the  figurative sense: when a stream of my money wanders from my pockets into the pockets of an unscrupulous organisation or company.

The best seat in the house?

The best choice: A sit down with Mr Samuel Longhorn Clemens, next to the Ilmenau in Lüneburg, Germany.

 

 

 

For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: any kind of seating.

If you want to take a seat with others – here they are.
