Modern arcade

· 2 Comments ·

93 vertical

This arcade is on the “upper lake” in Böblingen. The area around two lakes in the middle of town was revamped for the “Landesgartenschau” in the late 1990, a horticultural show.  When a town is chosen to host the show it is usually done in such a way that the areal can be kept and benefit the inhabitants for years to come.  I couldn’t find an explanation for this very tall and very barren – and indeed very vertical – arcade on the lakeside.  It provides shade and makes for very nice reflections, though.

For One Word Sunday: vertical.

This wheel is smokin’ … actually, it’s burning.

Radkultur Baden-Württemberg

Wheel and bike are the same words in Germany, so we have a kind of wheely culture here.

These are very old wheels in a mill. They are the reason I’ve chosen sepia for today’s post as the original photo looks hardly any different.

A picnic area specifically for cyclists (others are welcome).

In their old age, wheels can be used as decorative items.

Getting your cows in a row

I didn’t find ducks so I thought cows might do as well. They were jostling a bit but I think that’s usually the case if one is trying to arrange for a group picture.

For A Photo a Week: Getting your ducks in a row.

More people or ducks or … in a row can be found here.

Stuck in a time warp

“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”
– Dorothea Lange

And the little girl will be stuck like this forever – no matter how tall she grows.
