It’s even called Schönburg which means beautiful castle. The worst thing about it is that you have to walk up that hill to get there.

This Is not a Fever Tree
In South Africa there a certain kind of tree, the vachellia xanthophloea (xanthophloea refers to the yellow bark). Now I know that the common name, fever tree, stems from the fact that they were first found in malaria infected areas but you can always see a fever tree from afar – the bark stands out and the stem and the branches look as if they were glowing from the inside.
I’ve never seen a specimen in Germany but in the right light a poplar can look luminous, too.
Looking up between Office Buildings
This is last weekend’s sky. It’s actually raining today and I haven’t had my camera out yet. So this is reminiscing.

It’s Like Opening a Window of Worms
I’m not quite sure whether these ventilation hoses have been installed due to COVID air conditioning improvements. In any case, they look funny.

A small puddle in the right place. In this case, in Mannheim in front of the water tower in the city centre.
Water Play and Drying off
Last on the SD card in the camera: A fountain in the city of Mannheim.
Last on the SD card in the phone. – I was taking photos of old pictures in photo albums. I did crop this because I sent it to my son whom I wanted to tease and only kept the cropped version.

Hermannshof
It used to be a private mansion. The building and the surrounding garden still belongs to the family company but nowadays the garden is open to the public on most days and a botanical garden of some renown. Schau- und Sichtungsgarten Hermannshof in Weinheim.
Filtered Blue
The last few weeks (months?) the sky has been relentlessly blue. So we went for a walk in the Exotenwald in Weinheim rather than in the open where there is little protection of sun. Whenever we looked up – the sky was blue. Here we are looking up at one of the 60m tall sequoias which are about 150 years old.
