Round and round it goes
These perfectly round holes in the wood are not man-made but are the result of larvae of the wood wasp or horntail biting their way into freedom after years of living inside the tree.
In contrast, this circle is entirely man-made. As are the curvy reflections in the window.
The Berlin TV tower built in the 1960s on the East German side.
And last not least these spheres of light on a curve for Cee’s black and white challenge: circles and curves.
It’s a bird, it’s a duke, no – it’s a fish!
This rather human looking, moustachioed fish normally spews water in this fountain in Schwetzingen in Germany, a monument honouring Friedrich, Grand Duke of Baden, and his wife, the Grand Duchess Luise. It was erected for the 50 year jubilee of his regency. However, I could find no explanation why this decidedly odd creature dominates the centre of the monument.

Keep calm and shoot a tree
TREES
Twins in winter.
A vinyard in spring.
Flooding in summer.
Woodland in autumn.
WCs with water and without
Inside a ladies’ toilet in a restaurant in Chodovar in the Czech Republic. The seats were the unique to say the least. And to this day I have no idea why there were different doors for “ladies”, “baby girls”, and “hip hoppers”.
A lot less elaborate and without what we consider plumbing the toilet on the outside of an old castle. Not an outhouse as such, rather an out-room.
In winter, they must have really wished for toilet seat heating!

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Any Seating including Tables and Chairs
Black, white and old
When Cee asked for pictures of things older than 50 years I was tempted to post a self-portait but decided not do.
Here is a version of Anna Selbdritt instead. “Anna Selbdritt” is the general name in German for a representation of the virgin and child together with Mary’s mother, St Anne. It means a group of three including her. This is an example from the 15th century in the St. Marien Kirche in Kyritz near Berlin.I find it curious (if typical for the late gothic period) that Jesus and his mother Mary are the same size whereas Anna is much larger. It’s carved from wood and hasn’t kept all that well. 
The following two building are also from the same area – not quite as old as the statue.
