Painted windows

I’ve used a panaroma shot of this housing development before and was asked why there are no real windows on this side of the building. I don’t have an answer. But I like the building nevertheless, at least from the outside.

Love on a hard concrete bench

2020 love

For once a whole story with my Six Word Saturday photo.  I took this photo (and many others) in a not quite savoury part of Mannheim near the old harbour, an area bordering on the brink of gentrification.

While I was snapping away I heard a gruff voice in my back (please excuse the language, it was rather unsavoury, too): “Straighten your back and put your arse out!”  I turned round with clenched cheeks, unsure how I should react when I saw two burly, bearded men who could have easily posed for this sprayed graffiti and who were using an old bollard as a impromptu gym machine and urging each other on.

Double entendres everywhere.
