What is on the water and at the same time in the water? Poles and their reflection, of course.
A single pole will do.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: in and on the water.

Always from behind
I never seem to be fast enough to be ahead.

Modern arcade
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.
More photos illustrating this theme can be found here.
Japanese cherry blossoms in a row
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.
Rows and rows of more photos with rows can be found here.
Circles in my mind

They had this colour installation in a large park in Mannheim a few weeks back.

A place with a view
This is Günzburg, just over 100 km to the south of Rothenburg where Nancy took her photograph. Click here to go to her A Photo A Week Challenge and find other photos featuring towns or cities.
Wie ein bunter Hund
When the far-right party AFD started to agitate people against refugees in the autumn of 2015, many people in our town started to stand up against them. They rallied behind the slogan Weinheim bleibt bunt – Weinheim will stay colourful, meaning that diversity was welcomed. Very soon a symbol was created – that of the colourful dog. The reference is to a German saying when somebody is known all over town that he stands out like a dog of many colours.
For A Photo a Week: colourful.

There can only be one.
Actually, there are, as you can see, at least three. I saw the above sculpture on a tombstone in an exhibition for graveyard designs. While I think it’s cool I wonder if anybody chose this as an actual tombstone.
Is DEATH crying?
I took this picture with my phone. I keep telling myself that I have to go back to this mural with a proper camera. It is near the home of the Frankfurt football club “Eintracht” – where else?
For One Word Sunday: skull. More skulls can be found here.
