Like a Bridge over Tranquil Water
Six Word Saturday: Bridge over the Neckar in Ladenburg
Trios on the Neckar
Three pines on the banks of the Neckar near Ladenburg, close to the confluence of the rivers Neckar and Rhine.
Before motor powered boats and ships navigated the Neckar upstream, horsepower was used.
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.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Venerable
Coming on strong
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Brandish.
I’m a fan of frames
I happened to be in Michelstadt im Odenwald a couple of days ago and came across this frame with the thieves tower behind it. It made me think of other frame installations I’ve seen in the past.
Ladenburg has frames like this along the walk through town to show what the area used to look before the walk was constructed.
This frame is from Leazes’ Park in Newcastle, behind St James’ Park of football fame.
Only a few kilometres to the east in Sunderland is this big shutter framing Roker lighthouse.
And the ultimate frame high in the Alps opposite this view:
The Eiger in the Bernese Alps.
Fan of … #95 where you can find more fanatical photos.
Nature imitates art
When I saw this naturally occurring snow sculpture on the lip of a wall I immediately remembered a sculpture I have seen a few times in Ladenburg. Do you see the resemblance?
Travel Challenge #8
I was nominated by Teresa and by Margaret to post one travel picture a day for ten days without explanation, then to nominate someone else to participate. That’s 10 days, 10 travel images, and 10 nominations.
The photos I am going to show in this challenged are from travels around Germany and where chosen to introduce my German language students to various German sites.
Scheduling doesn’t seem to work – so erractically: here is the eighth one:
No Christmas stress, no nomination. Join in if you don’t have anything else you would rather be doing.

Windows in Sauer’s place
A half-timbered house in Ladenburg in the south west of Germany was the birthplace of Johann Christoph Sauer.
The plaque on the house is in German, Pennsylvania Dutch and English explaining about Johann Sauer.
Sauer was a Pennsylvania-German printer who in 1743 printed the first German bible in America known as the “Sauer Bible”.

Hug a human, embrace humanity
The artist Jean Luc Bambara from Burkina Faso has named this sculpture “la protection“. I mainly see a hug, possibly the most human of all actions.
