Is it a flock? Is it a flight? No, it’s a dissimulation!

The Elwedritsche are mythical creatures believed to live in the Southwest of Germany. Often described as being birdlike but with antlers and scales instead of feathers, there are really very little bounds to the imagination. In Neustadt an der Weinstraße a whole dissimulation of Elwedritsche can be seen frolicking in the waters of a fountain, getting themselves wet and everybody who cares to stand close to them.

I picked the word dissimulation from a collection of collective nouns for birds. It seemed appropriate.

Studies in grey

For the Cosmic Photo Challenge: 50 shades of grey I tried to pick photos which were naturally (almost) monochrome, either because of the subject or because of the quality of the prevailing light.

Very basic geometric shapes – square, circle, triangle.

And up this radio tower (with inverted colours) you can find the same basics: square, circle, triangles.

Geometry in fashion: Argyle socks.

2022 geometry d

And finally, making patterns in a completely different medium.

2021 lock down a

This is the old bridge in Heidelberg leading over the river Neckar last week.  Not completely deserted as the lock down in Germany has been lifted to some degree, was never as strict as in many other countries.

2021 lock down b

This is what it looks like in normal times, bustling with people at any given time.
