It surfaces near Nohfelden at an altitude of 460, runs for approximately 112km before it joins the Rhine near Bingen at an altitude of 77 metres above sea level.

Circles and Croci

On Friday last week I went to the local botanical garden to catch a few early, early spring flowers. We had had half a centimeter of snow the night before and there was a little bit of white left. These circles, prepared for planting, were the largest pieces of white to be seen.

I did get lucky with the flowers:

I had no idea that I would wake-up to winter wonderland a day later and everything was covered in white. For a few days. Now its almost gone again.
