Archived Trios

I’ve been sick for almost two weeks. Too sick to go to school but well enough to crawl out of bed and plonk myself in front of the computer. I’ve used the time to sort archived photos. And came upon a few older trios.

Believe it or not – this was in March 2003. Snow like this is not a common occurrence in the Odenwald, let alone in springtime.

An old graffiti / mural. Even though old and dirty it still conveys a joyful mood.

And three birds on a wall – I’m sure there are many variations of this motive.

It’s the Season

Because it’s not quite over yet, no photo editing just a few photos I took during the last couple of days to show what we did.

Of course, there is a tree with all the ornaments, some of them edible.

We had a Christmas food, all of it edible, and some decorations.

We had our presents on the night of Christmas Eve, as is traditional in Germany, and we played with our new toys.

On Christmas Day, we went for a walk in near spring conditions. We were greeted most graciously.

We even made new friends while we were out.

The rest we’ll keep under wraps.

Corner Art

On the corners of half-timbered houses there are often decorative wood carvings.

They can be very elaborate like these on the town hall of Hadamar:

Sometimes it’s just a simple decoration:

Sometimes it’s large figures:

Sometimes rather tiny ones:

And sometimes it’s a very candid view:

Which – believe it or not – was not an uncommon motive a few hundreds years ago.
