Linger on, thou art so fair!
The skyline of Frankfurt, Germany’s banking capital.
The same city but that’s how the skyline presents itself from close up.
And a few renditions on a jacket, a shop sign, and a graffito.

Wanna ride?
In a mystical magic tour bus?
(I like the bus and the pictures it conjures up in me but just in case you are wondering: the bus belongs to a volunteer organisation of the protestant church in Germany helping young people in need.)

A place with a view
For me, it helps if there is a bit of an elevation and a view across the land – as is the case here, once again in the Odenwald: overlooking a valley to the next line of hills.

Rainbow alert
This is a house designed by the architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser from Bad Soden am Taunus.

A dammed valley
This reservoir in the Odenwald, the Marbach Stausee, features a unique structure in the middle. I’m sure it has something to do with the lake’s function but I’ve not found a detailed explanation why it is there – except for looking strange and unique, especially with its reflection in the still waters.

Expectation feeds frustration
No, for once not COVID related. This is a photo from 2016. I had planned an outing to these castle grounds and ended up in front of the gate reading “closed” – very frustrating. I’ve never found out why the park wasn’t open. I’ve been back since and could go in.

It’s a warm wind, the west wind
Zephyr can mean a soft breeze but I also found the definition of “a wind from the west”. We mostly have westerly winds, originating somewhere over the Atlantic, traversing France, passing over the forested area between France and Germany, and reaching us after crossing the Rhine Valley. Also, there are hills in our back protecting us from the cold easterly winds, and although the westerlies might bring rain, they push the low-pressure systems with their bad weather to the East.

The castle on top
You have to pass a lot of trees but the castle and the view is worth it.
