We stayed overnight at this hotel in Frankfurt because we didn’t want to drive home after the first Christmas party of the season. Standing outside I looked up – and noticed the incredible blue sky after a cloudy week. For tomorrow the forecast is for more clouds and possibly some more snow.

and lots of other stuff you wouldn’t want to sleep on. I couldn’t resist the clutter found in this shop, inexplicably named, and the added clutter of the reflection in the window. Cellpic Sunday
I don’t normally use my cell phone for photography except for classroom purposes (homework, tests, attendance lists and the like) but I’ve been so mixed-up lately that I managed to take not two but three empty camera batteries along on our last outing.
But have a look – is this photo really from the era of cell phones? It looks vintage, doesn’t it?
King Ludwig I. of Bavaria built a classicist villa above the village of Edenkoben in the Palatinate (part of Bavaria in the mid 19th century) and below the castle ruin of Riedburg. The villa offers a panoramic view across the Rhine Valley to the Odenwald on the other side of the river. In 1954 a chair lift was built to the top of the hill. The pamphlet proclaims that the chairlift is technically up-to-date but the newest thing we could find were the “please wear a mask” Corona warnings which were stuck to the masts. The seats looked decidedly prehistoric, and kind of unsafe, and a bit rusty. But there has never been an accident in 67 years and apparently, the modern technical side is hidden behind the scenes.
