I hasn’t been raining lately yet the lake seems filled to the brim. Water, Water Everywhere
The weather was grey and dull and cycled to the shops (i.e. I had little choice about the scenic views). So grunge it was and grunge it is.
Under the bridge and next to the railway lines. I was tempted to take a photo of the tracks but it would have meant standing on them and I don’t have a death wish.
A couple walking on this stretch of road, separated from the cars by a winter greenish strip. And a look to the right to the fields isn’t much cheering either.

Lens-Artists Challenge: Exploring Colour vs. Black & White
Ignoring the six Words – I tried to find out a bit about this sculpture. It’s to be found in the Frankfurt Zoo and the litle I could find out about it is the title: Sitzender Jüngling, or sitting young man. The artist is Wilhelm Riedisser, it was created in 1903 (but that might not have been the year it was displayed at the zoo), the medium is bronze.
