A lovely detail of an old door. While I was wondering who used to live here, I noticed the plaque: “Receiver of Revenue Schwetzingen”. Seriously? They chose a money pouch to decorate their entrance?

It’s not DEATH
I couldn’t get DEATH to pose for me, so here is Death of Rats.

Wanna Go on an Adventure?
Once a week we are out with friends on a run (or walk) following signs marked with chalk or flour. Before the run we have a chalk talk where the hare explains what signs she or he has used, an X usually means a wrong path, an arrow gives the direction, and so on.
Sometimes this weekly paper chase turns into a scavenger hunt. AQ stands for adventure quest and it means that somewhere near there is a stash of drinks (often schnapps or beer but always bottles of water for non-drinkers). The task of the hounds is to locate the hiding place of the goodies.
Besides the fun of looking for hidden goodies, this helps to keep all the runners together: while the frontrunners are looking for the AQ, the slower runners have a chance to catch up.

One Man’s Noise Is Someone Else’s Music
Do you remember them? When the Football World Cup happened in South Africa in 2010, the world learned about vuvuzelas. Their noise was music to the ears of the fans of Bafana, Bafana (the South African soccer team). Or in this case, the fans of the German team if the colours are to be believed.
BTW: Football is called soccer in South Africa.

“You call that a glitch?”
“No, I think they are ear plugs.”
With apologies to Paul Verhoeven et al.
Meerkat Comparison
A peaceful, gentle animal; vigilant and alert yes, but you wouldn’t think it had a vicious bone in its body.

Ka-pow!
This snow-covered tree always struck me looking like an explosion.
