Tag: Odenwald
Cropped
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:
Wenn der Wind über die Stoppelfelder weht, ist der Herbst nicht mehr fern.

Four out of 5
I kind of got lost yesterday (not really but I had a hard time of finding the my car again). Luckily I had my camera with me and going through the photos I found four that would go with the Pick a Word challenge from Paula at Lost in Translation.
Here I was still on track. The gentleman saw me taking pictures and shouted and cajoled me until I had snapped him up. He told me afterwards (after he’d crossed the road and we started talking) that only on the hottest days of the year would he go to the shops dressed like this.
Then I drove into the Odenwald with its beautiful scenery, parked the car and a few hills later I didn’t remember in which forest clearing I had left it.
I came across this pond and for a moment thought I caught a lizard baking in the sun fully expecting the animal to disappear in the water with a splash. It didn’t.
What a beautiful little flower, it truly reminded me of a bird.
Little wonder that I didn’t find anything remotely related to marine considering that the Odenwald is the German mountain range that is furthest away from any saltwater body.
My little envisaged stroll of 15 minutes fresh air had turned into a two hour hike, with so many ups and downs that it was quite strenuous. I’m not sorry, though.

Odenwald vista

A fence with a view
January was far too mild but the last couple of weeks we had a little snow and since then we had a few wonderful crispy, cold, sunny days – although the snow is all but gone.

A tale of a winter’s afternoon
An outing into the woods to savour the little bit of snow we had during the last couple of days.
First the road, leading up into the hills.
Light and shadow playing on the surface.
A path branching off.
Walking amongst the trees.
Snow crackling under the feet.
The path circling a hill.
And leading back to the road and the parking.
