A blue hat
… this tower used to have. It was originally made of blueish slate and the name of this remnant of the town wall is still today Blauer Hut, “blue hat”.
More blue photos can be found on Debbie’s Travel with Intent site for the One Word Sunday photo challenge.

There’s colour at the end of the tunnel
Light is therefore colour, and shadow the privation of it
– JMW Turner, 1818
As anyone driving into a tunnel can attest to.

Help descending
I witnessed this air rescue helicopter in action in Munich earlier this year. There had been accident involving a cyclist and a car. I did not take photos of the emergency doctor and paramedics treating the badly injured cyclist, actually we left the scene as soon as the helicopter had landed. But … there were real people working inside.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge with the topic of men at work. More working women and men can be found here.
Cropped
This wayside shrine is called Kalter Herrgott (Cold Lord). It is found near the village of Ritschweier in the Odenwald, Germany, on the brow of a hill where cold winds blow.
The barren looks of the fields after the harvest point towards the autumn
even though it is still hot.
With the wind blowing over the stubbles, autumn isn’t far away anymore:
Wenn der Wind über die Stoppelfelder weht, ist der Herbst nicht mehr fern.
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge had an open topic this week. Mine was After the Harvest.

Now try to pronounce it
I’ve just returned from an awesome long weekend with friends in the Black Forest. I haven’t had time to sort any of the photos yet but I can give you this oddball find. We were an international group with many native English speakers and we had a great laugh trying to find out how to pronounce topogganing.
