The sign of a fire insurance on a house in Brandenburg. It was founded 1718.

I saw this sign in Frankfurt. I thought it was a foreign alphabet but couldn’t find a match. Then I got up I looked at the picture skew and realised it’s a word: T U M U L T (the same word exists in German), probably the name of a bar.

I think this alludes to a German saying: The place to which even a king has to go to on foot.

I must have misunderstood. K’lee and Dale asked for monochrome and I thought of monohorn. Ah well … here’s a bison horn.

I took new photos of something old. Michelstadt is a quaint little town in the Odenwald, the lower mountain range to the east of the Upper Rhine Valley. The old houses, particularly the half timbered ones, are so well suited to monochrome photography because of their contrasting structures. These photos are of the town wall encircling the inner part of the town. I chose a filter, inexplicably called “bandicoot” in my editing program, which is not as stark as black and white, yet not as mellow as sepia.

I like experimenting in monochrome but I don’t like robbing flowers off their colours. So for Cee’s challenge I made it so that I couldn’t see the original colours but chose a picture from a series of monochromes. To check up after I had made my choice I looked at the coloured version and I just can’t not show it:
