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.

Soak up the sun
The warmer temperatures have brought out the sunbathers in a local park. I don’t think they could stretch their necks towards the sun any further!

Yesterday came geometry
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.
And finally, making patterns in a completely different medium.

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

In the summertime when the weather is high
Dreams adapt, it seems. And become simpler.
Around the corner. A pool. A playground.
The right company.

Sweet or savoury, what’s your pleasure?
A waffle with a kind of marshmallow centre, it was a staple at the kiosk at the public swimming pool when I was little. It has made kind of a comeback on the supermarket shelves, like other nostalgia food. It tastes as artificial as the pastel colours.
A Flammekueche, the tarte flambé from the Alsace region boxed up. It’s not the traditional one with onions, bacon and sour cream but made with olives, pepperoni, and feta cheese. Modern varieties have become fashionable in German beer gardens during the last few years.

Natural symmetry.

Man-made architectural symmetry.
Bird-made symmetry.
Wishful thinking symmetry.

Durchblick
The German word Durchblick can literally mean “looking through” but is used more often in its figurative meaning: understanding or being in the know.
And a German proverb to remind us of another important opening: Love, it states (literally), goes through the stomach. In English you would say: The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
