A new building in town

I came upon this odd structure yesterday.  It’s on a company’s ground which has just changed its corporate colours (flags everywhere!).   The bright colours urged me to fool around a bit.

The Eastern mind is circular

This is looking up in the dome of the Red Mosque in the castle grounds in Schwetzingen, Germany.  This mosque was build in 18th century and never intended as a place of religious worship, rather as an expression of the time’s fascination with all thing oriental.

For One Word Sunday: circle.  More circular, round or rounded photos can be found here.

Tonight’s forecast: 99% chance of wine

An outing to Rüdesheim, where the

Rhine flows through the valley and

on both sides steep vineyards rise

up – and one ends the day

with a good meal together with

friends and a glass of  wine.

Or two. Or three. Or more.

No, don’t worry: S.H.I.T.S. is an acronym and stands for “Saturday Hash in the Summer“.

No, you really don’t have to worry: Hash has nothing to do with smoking.  Or cookies, for that matter.

It’s short for a worldwide social running club, the Hash House Harriers. A foot (or feet) is its logo.  Runners follow a trail marked in chalk or flour and when they find the right way to run they shout “on on“.

Cee was asking for feet for her Black&White Photo Challenge.  Feet she got.  More feet can be found here.

There was this pond covered with water lilies, one about to be born like Venus of the watery foam, a nascent life form.  Nearby lilac flowers looked like an abundance of writhing snakes pullulating in the bushes.  This made me hungry so I went to the famous Viktualienmarkt in Munich with its hundreds of stalls selling victuals of every kind.  A car passed by – and I wondered if a nut feels maternal towards bolts, after all in German they are called “Mutter” which means “mother”.   And I was back at the pond where a frog pondered reflectively about his eye glancing up at him from the water and he completed the circle quoting “Consider the lilies!” from The Life of Brian.

For Thursday’s Special – pick a word.  I’ve picked 5.
