In the Lautertal, a valley in the southern part of the state of Hesse in Germany, is the “Felsenmeer” or sea of stones. The geological processes which created this natural phenomenon happened almost 400 million years ago, over time erosion laid bare these boulders. Romans quarried them, and there are about 150 work pieces left from these times which were left behind.

This wayside shrine is called Kalter Herrgott (Cold Lord). It is found near the village of Ritschweier in the Odenwald, Germany, on the brow of a hill where cold winds blow.
The barren looks of the fields after the harvest point towards the autumn
even though it is still hot.
With the wind blowing over the stubbles, autumn isn’t far away anymore:
