This is the back of the war memorial in our town. Erected in 1936, it did both at the time: commemorate the men who had died in the first world war, and glorify the war itself, preparing the population for the next one. The names of the dead from that war where added in the fifties.

This is the remains of a toilet facility built by Romans in a villa rustica in the Odenwald in German. When it was built it was most probably not an outhouse as such but now it is as open as anything.

This is from more than a millenium later, in the ruin of a castle in Handschuhsheim near Heidelberg. Since it has no direct water access (unlike the Roman facilities) it was a lot less hygienic.

This now is from the 21st century: plastic and with a slightly humourous sign.

Finally, for my private satisfaction. The poster of a local wannabe politician with a sign that shows where I think he belongs.

Make way for the fanfare!

It’s not easy being green. Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.

It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things.

But green is the color of Spring.

And green can be cool and friendly-like.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you!
