Flowers and missiles
I came across this mural in München, Germany (Munich). Intellectually, I understand the juxtaposition between war/war machinery and the beauty found in flowers and traditional ceramics and porcelain. But overall – I am not really convinced that it works for me.

Just soaking up the sun
I was an walk coming down a hill when I saw a couple sitting on a bench below me. When I passed them, I turned back to bid them good day.

Neckarbrückenblues
Although Joy Fleming was thinking of a different bridge over the river Neckar when she sang her signature tune: Neckarbrückenblues, this bridge is about 20km upriver, and thus qualifies for Neckarbrücke.
It spans the Neckar between Ilvesheim and Seckenheim, which is a suburb of Mannheim.
Here is clip of this German blues singer from Mannheim with the amazing voice, from 1980: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR6hKeCB4eQ

A grain of confusion
When I came across this field last summer, I was thoroughly confused. The grain was black and I wondered if it was diseased and ruined, yet besides the black colour the grains looked healthy.
I was fascinated.
I asked a friend of mine who is a miller by profession and was told that it was emmer wheat, one of the oldest grains cultivated, and that this variety was called Persian black emmer wheat. Confusion cleared up.
For A Photo a Week Photo challenge: state of confusion. More confused photos (or photos by confused photographers) can be found here.
The best seat in the house?
Rather rickety, don’t you think?
Filigree- yes, comfortable – maybe, mad – definitely.
Pseudo antique, old-fashioned elegance.
A lonely, lovely bench in the woods.
Not lonely, not really lovely.
The best choice: A sit down with Mr Samuel Longhorn Clemens, next to the Ilmenau in Lüneburg, Germany.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: any kind of seating.
If you want to take a seat with others – here they are.
