From the shadows of time
German doesn’t recogonise a difference between shadow and shade, it’s both Schatten to Germans.
I happen to come across this lovely spot today. To sit in the shade of two majestic linden trees
and look onto the 1200-year-old Einhard basilica, one of very few buildings dating back to the Carolingan area north of the Alps,
and then to go inside and marvel at the shadows which were the same ones looked on by the visitors of the basilica when it was newly built.

motors.
Many schools are named for Otto Lilienthal, the pioneer in aviation, particularly near Berlin, where he lived and tried out his gliding contraption.
I’m sure the first people seeing Lilienthal in the sky were as mesmerised as these onlookers – admiring a glider that flies through the air without motor.

Worms’ view
The town on the left side of the river Rhine is called Worms which should explain the title. It used to be just one bridge (the right one) but traffic between the state of Hesse and the Palatium had become so much that they added the left one a few years ago and made each a one way bridge. I’ve just read that the older bridge dating back to 1953 has to be replaced in the next few years as renovation is not possible. However, only the part that actually crosses the water needs to be replaced, the new bridge will fit seamlessly with the old parts on either end. A perspective to look forward to.

Painted windows
I’ve used a panaroma shot of this housing development before and was asked why there are no real windows on this side of the building. I don’t have an answer. But I like the building nevertheless, at least from the outside.

Taking a step back
A detail from a housing development. Now, let me put this in perspective:

It’s not mine
In the distance there is Frankfurt am Main and if you take a magnifying glass you might see the skyscrapers that gave it the moniker Mainhattan (pronounced mine hattan).

Threesomes
The rule of three is not something that comes naturally to me. I had a hard time going through my old photos and look where editing might help. I’ve come up with two completely different kinds of shot.
