Wine time

76 lines

It may be the first Sunday of Advent but I am not quite ready to let go of autumn.  Lines.  Rows and rows of growing wine – Riesling, Grauburgunder, Gewürztraminer, Merlot, Shiraz … I love them all.   PS: Today’s Oxford Dicitionary’s Word of the Day is bibulous, aka: excessively fond of alcoholic beverages 😉

For One Word Sunday: lines.   More lineage can be found here.

Krötenwanderung

Krötengasse

This is a groaner in German and I have to explain.  A funny synonym for money is Kröten, or toads.  So I found this sign where to find the next branch of the local bank, which happens to be in Toad Lane, particularly fitting for One Word Sunday: money.

The literal meaning of Krötenwanderung is toad migration but it can be used in the  figurative sense: when a stream of my money wanders from my pockets into the pockets of an unscrupulous organisation or company.

Oh, look! A mountain!

74 viewpoint

Sometimes you have to take a prompt literally.

This is a photo from Schynege Platte in the Berner Oberland, Switzerland.  The guy in front can actually look down on Lake Brienz, so it is not just mountains.

More viewpoints can be found here, for One Word Sunday.

Jüngling with Yuengling

70 humour

Yuengling is an American beer.  The founder of the brewery was of German descent and the name was originally Jüngling which means youngster in German.  Obviously, the baby sees the humour of the situation.

For One Word Sunday: humour.  More humourous photos are only a click away.

A blue hat

Blauer Hut

… this tower used to have.  It was originally made of blueish slate and the  name of this remnant of the town wall is still today Blauer Hut, “blue hat”.

More blue photos can be found on Debbie’s Travel with Intent site for the One Word Sunday photo challenge.
