Other people’s colour photographs are linked here.
Is it cold enough?
This is for the One Word Picture Challenge. More monkeys, with brass balls or otherwise, can be found here.
It’s old to be square
For One Word Sunday: square.
Doggies in the window (and outside)
A post about dogs.
And signs. This is from Germany. There is a path for walkers and bicycles. Skaters are allowed. Dogs have to be on a leash in the entire area.
This notice is educational: As this was mounted at a pasture, there is an explanation that cows, cattle (is there a difference?), horses, sheep, and similar animals can become very ill due to dog excrements.
No dog toilet here. The yellow sign concerns general rubbish dumping. It is stated that reasonable people will not dump rubbish here. Unreasonable people are not allowed to do so.
This sign is from near Bamburgh Castle in the UK. A fine and the proper law is quoted to quell any discussions.
Either the sign is older or Sunderland (less than 100 km to the South) is cheaper concerning fines.
In Hockley Heath near Birmingham they show people what to do.
And it is even more accommodating if bags are provided.
This is for Cee’s Oddball Challenge.
More red wine
Last weekend we went on a “red wine walk”, which is basically a stroll through the vinyards and along the way there are tents where one can sample the local wine (not necessarily red) and a variety of food. At the first station people pay a deposit for their wine glass and keep drinking while they walk, replenishing whenever they feel like it.
The amount of people is quite astounding, even though the weather was not at its best but at least it was dry. And the wine helped to combat weather.
The paths vary from paved tracks to field roads and dirt tracks.
And a lot of fun was had by all. Despite the miserable weather.
More roads, paths, tracks, avenues, and highways can be found on Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge.
Wishful thinking
Snow was last year. I wish we had some more real cold winter weather like we used to have.
But even after miserable winters, spring will come again. Even in black and white I can “see” the verdant meadows and the colourful flowers.
For Cee’s Black&White Photo Challenge. More walks and roads can be found here.

X marks the spot
Those skis might not be much good on a piste anymore but they make great decorations.
Another wooden X – it is the top of a birdhouse made of the thick part of palm fronds, currently used as the centre piece of a small nativity scene.
X marks the spot – in this case, the very spot were covenanters were hanged for their protestant faith in Edinburgh’s grassmarket area in the 17th century. The memorial features a red version of the St Andrew’s cross.
Cee’s alphabet quest has reached the letter X. Other photographers interpretations of X (in word or picture) can be found here:
