Memories of a time when coal and domestic fuel oil was sold in portable containers.

What is on the water and at the same time in the water? Poles and their reflection, of course.

A single pole will do.

This arcade is on the “upper lake” in Böblingen. The area around two lakes in the middle of town was revamped for the “Landesgartenschau” in the late 1990, a horticultural show. When a town is chosen to host the show it is usually done in such a way that the areal can be kept and benefit the inhabitants for years to come. I couldn’t find an explanation for this very tall and very barren – and indeed very vertical – arcade on the lakeside. It provides shade and makes for very nice reflections, though.
For One Word Sunday: vertical.

These Japanese cherry trees are part of the grounds of Schwetzingen palace. Most of them date back to the 18th century but some needed to be replaced over the years.

For One Word Sunday: rows.
