I like experimenting in monochrome but I don’t like robbing flowers off their colours.

A picnic area specifically for cyclists (others are welcome).
In their old age, wheels can be used as decorative items.

This last one is more of an oddball – I know the sign is meant to warn passers-by of beehives but the fence lets one wonder how big those bees actually are …
