Planned or Accidental?
Asymmetry in buildings might be owing to necessity or the fancy of the architect.
In nature it is not always planned but due to an accident.
PS: I don’t know what is happening. The gallery is all screwed up. Another wordpress glitch?

One House with Lots of Grilles
One house in Großsachsen, part of the double community of Hirschberg, with lots of grills in front of its windows. The last photo is not really a window but the door is part of the house, isn’t it.

A Venerable House
This house has been standing in the market square of Ladenburg for over 400 years. Not only is it venerable, it has housed a venerable man.

A Visual Echo
There is this little old house in our street. A couple of years ago it was renovated and the traditional half-timbered upper story was offset by the deep berry coloured groundfloor walls.
A quote from the Book of Proverbs from the Old Testament is written between two wooden beams:
Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established. (Solomon - Proverbs: 24:3) Which in the German translation seems more appropriate for an actual house: Through wisdom a house is built, through wit (or sense) it is kept.
And then I saw this house – in a town about 10 km away:
The same colour scheme, the same quotation, the same font.
But which one is an echo of the other?

BUT I COULD MURDER A CURRY.
I can’t let that go without an explanation: I am reading Pratchett (again). So when I came upon this photo in my archive this quote from Mort came unbidden. It’s all capitals since it’s DEATH speaking.
For Six Word Saturday.
