Church spires
Bad Kreuznach – the standard two churches with spires in a small German town but the three windows in the tower qualifies for Thursday Trios. Hirschberg-Großsachsen – a trio of church towers in one village – the protestant church on the left, the catholic church … Continue reading Church spires
1-2-3- Floral Mural / flural moral
A bit different to what I normally post for the One-to-Three Challenge. When I crop photos I usually crop in the same ratio as the original, on occasion I change to a square format or when I mix camera photos and smart phone photos I … Continue reading 1-2-3- Floral Mural / flural moral
The secret in the box
This piece of art is part of the 11th international forest art walk in Darmstadt. It’s a box with an object inside. But what is it? Artist: Moritz Dornauf Title: Waldesruh (rest in the woods) Is it a Snowwhite’s coffin? An egg? A torpedo? The … Continue reading The secret in the box
Self congratulatory
Last summer we were attending a street festival in Wiesbaden, Germany. Then this happened:
I had to stitch three photos together because of the ephemeral quality of the skywriting.
And here the enhanced photo:
Wiesbaden has fun! (more literally: Wiesbaden celebrates beautifully!)
FOWC with Fandango: Congratulations

She’s in their corner
While I was still contemplating whether a corner should be inward or outward I came across this pic in my archive.
This madonna on the outside of the museum of local history in Schifferstadt has the best of both worlds corners.
I found a wolf
Another find for my “car plates can make words in Germany” collection.
German licence plates are organised like this: the first letters (1 or 2 but not more than 3) indicate the town where the care is registered. Then there are another two letters (sometimes one but this is rare) and a number, usually four digits. Until a 20 years ago or so you just took the letters and numbers you were allocated but nowadays you can pick the letters and numbers for a small fee (something like 10 Euro). The only requirements are that no other plate has the same combination and a few letters and number combinations are forebodden because they have a meaning connected with national socialism).

Better
a dead fretter
I was surprised by this … attractive? … sculpture in the middle of a vineyard – in recognition to the victory over the vine fetter (or grape phylloxera) which threatened to obliterate all European viniculture.

There is always a reason to smile
you just have to find it.
Well, I didn’t find it here. Took this photo to tell our son: Clean up or else! (last on the card on my phone)
But I did find the smile here when on a bicycle tour with my sister yesterday. It was, I must admit, before we found out that there would be another 10km to get home after having already ridden for 30km. For those who don’t know: the Odenwald is not flat, even on an e-bike you have to pedal hard occasionall). (last on the card on my camera).
