Castle on the edge
We’ve been living with this edge since 1894 in our hometown, and it has been growing. It is now threatening to encroach on the castle which is one of the landmarks of the area. In a peculiar twist, the site of this quarry belongs to a town which lies 10km to the south – whereas we are worried about an enlargement of the quarry, the other town is keen on the revenue generated by it. Luckily, the conflict was resolved last year, and works will be stopped soon. They are talking about recultivation but the stone wall is about 230 metres from the bottom to the edge of the forest.
Slowflower
For a sunflower change is slow yet inevitable: a bud, slowly unfolding, the petals unfurling, the radiant flower in full bloom, attracting bees and other insects, then the drooping head with the wilting and finally withering petals.
I might add a shot with the seeds later during the year.

No nightshade
The Daily Post asked for unusual photos, what I perceive as unusual.
I very seldom use flashlight when I take pictures but the other day I snapped these in our garden and I quite like the effect, particularly of the spiky seed capsule of a nigella flower (Schwarzkümmel). Maybe I’ll try a few more in the coming weeks.
