Distance is relative

· 11 Comments ·

That’s our hometown, as seen from a relatively short distance, about 12 km to the north. We live not even 3km to the south church spire on the left but it is for the moment too far for us as a couple. Our car broke down on Saturday night and has been standing in front of a garage ever since. My sister collected us and brought us home. Where we are. I could go out on my bike (and I did go to the bakery which is open even though it is a public holiday) but my husband with his dud knee is homebound. He can manage a couple of kilometres probably more if he really needed to but would have to pay with pain in the days after. So he won’t. The centre of town is too distant for him without a vehicle.

On a Not So Clear Day

· 5 Comments ·

you can’t see forever and ever but still pretty far.

This is the view from the Tromm, one of the highest mountains / hills in the Odenwald towards the west. The Wachenburg, a fortress I normally look up to, can be seen in the middle and beyond is the Rhine Valley. On a clear day one can see the hills of the Palatinate in the distance on the other side of the river.

The same view on another day at a different time of day:
