Thursday’s Special has another pick a word challenge. I picked all five.
5 words, 5 photos
Tag: Frankfurt
Running on green
Memories of a St Patrick’s Day are necessarily blurred. I remember it was fun … And so will be this year’s – even if the Main in Frankfurt won’t be running with green beer, we will be running on beer (and it might even be green).

Go, go! Only twenty more to go!
On Sunday, there is the next Frankfurt half marathon. These are photos from last year’s race.
The roads are blocked off for the runners. Cars and police men on motorbikes clear the road just ahead of the runners.
The front runners are so fast, they are difficult to catch on camera.
Some seem to fly over the surface.
The first few hundred runners take little notice of anything around them, they just concentrate on the road.
The slower runners seem to have a lot more fun, smiling and sometimes even joking amongst themselves.
Some even acknowledge the cheering spectators and groupies on the side of the road.
And just before the end, well deserved nourishment and reward (aka: beer) is handed out to a selected few to help them over the finishing line.

J.W.v.G.
There are glimpses of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe all over Frankfurt, which is to be expected since it is his hometown. This huge quote on the side of a building in the Ostend is from his early novel – hence the signatur “the young G.” – alluding to the bible verse “Where, o death, is thy sting?” And he signed a letter to his lover in English, a few years later.
