Stuck in a time warp

“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”
– Dorothea Lange

And the little girl will be stuck like this forever – no matter how tall she grows.

Good fences make good photos

or so I hope.

88 fences 7

This last one is more of an oddball – I know the sign is meant to warn passers-by of beehives but the fence lets one wonder how big those bees actually are …

90 puzzle

I was standing in front of this garbage can the other day wondering whether that umbrella was broken of if somebody just thought that the current weather didn’t warrant carrying an umbrella along.

For One Word Sunday: puzzle.

Wie ein bunter Hund

bunter Hund

When the far-right party AFD started to agitate people against refugees in the autumn of 2015,  many people in our town started to stand up against them. They rallied behind the  slogan Weinheim bleibt bunt – Weinheim will stay colourful, meaning that diversity was welcomed.  Very soon a symbol was created – that of the colourful dog.  The reference is to a German saying when somebody is known all over town that he stands out like a dog of many colours.  

For A Photo a Week: colourful.
