The water level marked on an old house from a flooding in 1875.

A keystone with the year 1743 marked out.

The (most likely) dates of birth and death of Johannes Bückler, better known as Schinderhannes, painted on a house in the area where he used to live as an outlaw and robber. There are many legends (and five movies) about the man, making him into a more modern German version of Robin Hood which are in all probability not true.

A wood kobold watching over the path and checking who is coming into his domain.

I should have put a scale next to these acorns – they were carved out of wood and as big as a foot stool.

More kobolds carved from living trees.

And a penguin in the making.

Lazy anglers resting in a boat.

Lazy Gruffelo resting on a shoulder.

Lazy flo… Naw, impossible. Flowers can’t be lazy. Just a dandelion then, from the side.

The sign of a fire insurance on a house in Brandenburg. It was founded 1718.

I saw this sign in Frankfurt. I thought it was a foreign alphabet but couldn’t find a match. Then I got up I looked at the picture skew and realised it’s a word: T U M U L T (the same word exists in German), probably the name of a bar.

I think this alludes to a German saying: The place to which even a king has to go to on foot.
