It’s in the water, it swims, and it looks odd. Even if it is not a manatee.
Other photos inspired by the topic manatee may be found on One Word Photo Challenge.

The fastest way to travel is
by candlelight. From the movie STARDUST.
Sorry I used twelve this time. For Six Word Saturday on Debbie’s Travel with Intent.
Two of a kind?
Reading names of towns with a foreign language in mind can be quite fun. I am NOT going to show you the town sign of the famous town in Austria beginning with F (only because I’ve never been there). But I hear that to get there you have to go to Kissing and Petting in Germany first before your cross the border and arrive in F.
My town signs are not quite as rude. But I’ve always wondered whether this town in Brandenburg, Germany:
should be twinned with this one in the Alsace region of France:
This is for A Photo a Week Challenge. Nancy was asking for signs.
In summer, the king is in
The Andernach Geysir in the Eifel region of Germany is the highest cold-water geysir in the world. It is situated on a peninsula of the Moselle and only easily reachable by boat. During the summer season every couple of hours a boat with several hundred tourists takes the trip (going slowly so that there is enough time to have some coffee and cake, or a beer if one desires). The viewers walk a few hundered metres, arriving in time for the scheduled eruption, oooh and aaah appreciatevely and then return to the town. The water spray is indeed impressive, up to 60 metres high.
In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, there is a high water fountain that only is switched on if the king is in residence in the palace. Hence, our private saying whenever we see a fountain: The king is in.
This is for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge with the subject water. More watery pictures can be found here.
Of trees and snows and kisses
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently?” (Lewis Carroll: Through the Looking Glass)
For the Thursday’s Special, Paula wrote: “I would like you to post again what you consider to be your best shot posted this year.” So I looked through all my photos and rediscovered some shots. That’s what I came up with tonight, if I were to look again tomorrow it might be a different one.

Good enough to eat
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge wants colours that start with the Letter S – I found all these colours named after foods: saffron, salmon, sangria, sage, and strawberry. It was great practice for Tourmaline’s Color Your World Challenge which will start next week.
But in the meanwhile, more colours starting with S can be found here.
Max and Moritz
These two are quite famous in Germany and are credited to be the predecessors to modern cartoons. They are the creation of writer and artist Wilhelm Busch. Even if you don’t speak German have a look at the book.
A pharmacy in Bad Homburg, a town near Frankfurt, Germany, has taken their name and their adorned its premises with their likeness.
Another Monday Mural hosted by Oakland Daily Photo. For more of them, have a look here.
