This last one is more of an oddball – I know the sign is meant to warn passers-by of beehives but the fence lets one wonder how big those bees actually are …

This is Günzburg, just over 100 km to the south of Rothenburg where Nancy took her photograph.  Click here to go to her A Photo A Week Challenge and find other photos featuring towns or cities.

Why?

90 puzzle

I was standing in front of this garbage can the other day wondering whether that umbrella was broken of if somebody just thought that the current weather didn’t warrant carrying an umbrella along.

For One Word Sunday: puzzle.

Wie ein bunter Hund

bunter Hund

When the far-right party AFD started to agitate people against refugees in the autumn of 2015,  many people in our town started to stand up against them. They rallied behind the  slogan Weinheim bleibt bunt – Weinheim will stay colourful, meaning that diversity was welcomed.  Very soon a symbol was created – that of the colourful dog.  The reference is to a German saying when somebody is known all over town that he stands out like a dog of many colours.  

For A Photo a Week: colourful.

There can only be one.

89 skull a

Actually, there are, as you can see, at least three.  I saw the above sculpture on a tombstone in an exhibition for graveyard designs. While I think it’s cool I wonder if anybody chose this as an actual tombstone.

Is DEATH crying?

Eintracht Frankfurt

I took this picture with my phone.  I keep telling myself that I have to go back to this mural with a proper camera.  It is near the home of the Frankfurt football club “Eintracht” – where else?

For One Word Sunday: skull.  More skulls can be found here.
