Honeycombed Mystery

Obviously these honeycomb structures are some kind of greenhouse. I don’t know how they work since they are open on the ground and open to the top. I also don’t know for what kind of crop. The bad news is: it is a kind of synthetic material or plastic. The good news is: the material is usually rolled up when no longer needed and brought out again the year after.

About Millers, and Hiking, and Singing

“Wanderlust” is originally a German word and the meaning is slightly different in the German language: it includes the yearning to go and see foreign lands but has more to do with “itchy feet” – because “wandern” means “hiking” in the sense of “on shanks’ mare”. Germans used to go hiking into the big wide world and sang while doing it.

Probably the most well-known song of this genre is: “Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust” (hiking is the miller’s delight). Most Germans will think it is a folk song and describes a miller by profession hence it is mostly illustrated with windmills and watermills. In truth, it was written in 1820 by Wilhelm Müller (that would be William Miller), a German author.
