Put trash in its place!

18 27a

The island of Krk.  In front of Croatia in the Adriatic Sea.  In front of garbage containers. But even that is picturesque. And what time to have a photo of Croatia who later today will play France for the football (soccer) world championship in their first world cup final ever [edit: they didn’t win, but they were in the final!]

18 27c

An equally incongruous place for a garbage container, in the old southern cemetery in Munich.

18 27d

Not an odd location but an odd inscription: the town’s finest.

Oscar The Grouch from Sesame Street

Just to round off this rubbish collection, here is Oscar the Grouch who lives in a garbage can on Sesame Street.

Watching … from a distance

Cee’s Black and White Challenge this week: In the distance

01

The Plitvice National Park in Croatia – it works in monochrome but it is really shame to hide the turquoise waters of the lakes and waterfalls.

02

Also in Croatia, somewhere along the coast.

Faulhorn

The Faulhorn above Grindelwald in Switzerland.  The distance is relative to whether one is ascending or descending.
