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.)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Although the words on this mural read: “Family is everything” I think “family” can be defined in much broader terms than merely blood relations.
Connection can happen through physical touch – but it doesn’t need to. The internet is much maligned these days because the role it plays in agitation and false information but we shouldn’t forget how it can bring people together. Bushboy who came up with today’s prompt is in Australia. I am in Germany. Yet we share a connection via our posts and photos.
Here is the whole mural:

The windows above are in Mönchengladbach. The one below from Edinburgh.
Not quite as modern – but terms like “modern” are relative, aren’t they?
