Wood Withers, Metal Rusts

This sculpture by Uli Lamp, called Golem, stands in Hemsbach, a town in the northern part of the state Baden-Württemberg, between the church and the synagogue. The mythical creature is normally made of clay but wood and metal works as well, I think.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Rusty or decayed

It gets dark

when you drive in – at least when the old German “Gstanzl” or “Schnadahüpfel” (a fun song with many verses, often in dialect) is to be believed:

Zwische Woinem und Bergene 
do schteiht e Tunnell, wø mer noifährt, 
werd's dunkel, 
wø mer nausfährt, werd's hell!
Holladihi-a holladiho! Holladihopsasa holladiho!

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Tunnel.

It’s not the Fox and Hound

In Germany “The Lamb” (often with the addition “golden” or “white”) is a traditional name for inns.

The two examples are “Hotel Das Lamm” in Handschuhsheim and “Gasthaus zum weißen Lamm” in Heiligkreuzsteinach.

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Lamb.
