Living close to a river, particularly a river in a narrow valley, probably means you have to accept that every now and again the waters rise. This water line is from 1824 when the Neckar overflowed its banks.
To put this in perspective: The square where the house with this mark stands is 100m away from river, and adding a bit more perspective:
The letter S. I could not find out what it has to do with “Taunus” (a region in middle Germany) underneath.
Tempo limits written directly on the street, 20 being a low number so that pedestrians are safe and can look at the pretty houses.
The old orangery in the Günthersburg park in Frankfurt is a leftover from times gone by. Today it is a park with a wonderful playground at its centre.

When I took this photo over the weekend I immediately thought of #cyw and the first colour, almond, this time round. The inn stands in Neckargemünd on the banks of the river Neckar, just outside of Heidelberg. Its name is “Old Barn” (or possible, Ye Olde Barn).
