A negative circle is a hole, I guess, except in this case.
For One Word Sunday: circle. More circular photos or photos of circles can be found here.

The light in the bottle: I don’t know if I like the intended meaning in the caption, or the one owed to the printer’s mishap: Love your liver (especially since this light is caught in a wine bottle.

The light in the hat: The photo was taken on a Saint Martin’s Day parade. This was the guitarist who led the procession of nursery school children through the village.

The light in the pumpkin: Not quite the right season but too good to omit.
This is for Nancy’s A Photo a Week: lit from within.
More lit up photos can be found at a drop of a hat … I mean click of a mouse.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: hot and cold.
Why not go to extremes for a change?

To me photography must suggest, not insist or explain.

It may be the first Sunday of Advent but I am not quite ready to let go of autumn. Lines. Rows and rows of growing wine – Riesling, Grauburgunder, Gewürztraminer, Merlot, Shiraz … I love them all.

For One Word Sunday: lines. More lineage can be found here.

Christmas lights are put up between the last brown leaves and seeds. One season ends, another one is coming – maybe a fitting end to Festival of leaves. More last leaves can be found here.

This is a groaner in German and I have to explain. A funny synonym for money is Kröten, or toads. So I found this sign where to find the next branch of the local bank, which happens to be in Toad Lane, particularly fitting for One Word Sunday: money.
The literal meaning of Krötenwanderung is toad migration but it can be used in the figurative sense: when a stream of my money wanders from my pockets into the pockets of an unscrupulous organisation or company.
