Our local tram connects the cities Mannheim and Heidelberg and our town (definitely not a city) in an almost perfect triangle. It’s been going since before the first world war.

“Look up!” they said. So I looked up. And realised that

looking up in the forest

can be different to looking up in the city. Except, it isn’t. Not really.

Being on the other end, being lookup up at, sort of, can result in strange effects of the brain.
I’ll stick to looking up. Even on clear days, the sky may offer something to see.

Nightlights. on a rather grander scale than the ones I had in my children’s bedrooms. Seen in Newcastle, Weinheim and Frankfurt.

Stand up paddling on the river Neckar in Heidelberg.

Looking west – where the hills of the Odenwald give way to the Upper Rhine Valley.

Looking east to the step in the river, next to the lock for ships.
