Not a smooth but rather a spiky frog, well weathered – and reminding everybody that the villagers of Laudenbach have been known as “the frogs” for many years past.

Roof Square
Yesterday I showed the Great Synagogue of Plzeň. I had climbed up the tower of the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew to take the photo. The spire is with 103 m the highest in the Czech Republic, that’s the whole structure, of course, I was standing a few metres below. The view was amazing, showing a sea of roofs. The buildings get more modern the further you look away from the centre of town. It’s like a history of different pasts.

Pink Square
The Great Synagogue of Plzeň in the Czech Republic has the loveliest pink spires. The first stone was laid in 1888 and it is the second largest synagogue in Europe, and the third largest in the world. It was used as a place of worship in the past, survived the second world war as a storage hall, was shortly revived as a Jewish place of worship during communism but soon closed down as there wasn’t a large enough Jewish community to maintain the building. It was finally restored towards the end of the last century and is today used for various cultural events and is open to the public.

Lines Square
Water dripping from the rim of an old fountain forming lines. It’s been doing it since ages past judging by the plants and algaes.

Light Square
Revelling in the evening light, Burg Breuberg, a monument to times gone past: built in the era of the Hohenstaufen with large extensions during the Gothic and Renaissance periods.

Kind Square
Two kinds of flying. One is a method from the present, one a method from the past. I wonder what the future holds?

Bright Square
Our old town hall was shining in bright colours last year (that was the consolation replacement for the cancelled Christmas market). Past centuries looking on our recent past.

Blue Square
I’ve participated in 14 square themes: blue, bright, kind, light, lines, perspectives, pink, roof, round, spiky, time, top, tree, and up. So – I’m set up until October 14 with a square that would have made the final cut if I had taken the photo at this time. And I’ve tried to pick photos that combine one of the 14 themes with past. I know that squares are full of inspiration and that I end up in a completely different space from what I’ve started. Therefore I’m looking forward to square 15 – who knows what it’ll be.
I love to start with this square. He fits the the theme past – just look at him: if he could talk what stories he would tell about his past. He would have been perfect for blue squares.
