Shapely tulips

20 shape

The One Word Sunday challenge asked for shape. It’s so drab outside I wanted to look at some colour – and tulips have a very distinguishable shape, too.

More shapely photos can be found here.

 

 

Window strolling

29 tradition

I don’t like the word “window shopping” for this small tradition in our family, it’s a leisurely stroll enjoying the lights and the seasonal displays.  It usually happens during the time we call “between the years”, i.e. between Christmas and New Year when all the shopping (and running and rushing) is over.

You’ll find more traditions over at Paula’s Thursday Special.

Clique – claque

I have used this clique before (although not quite these shots) but that’s fair enough as this sculpture is in fact, NOT unique.  I have taken these pictures in Schwetzingen but  another group of four claqueurs standing in a queue can be found in Pforzheim.  In Backnang there were only three – however, they have been stolen probably to melt the bronze and sell it wholesale.  The artist is Guido Messer, the title is “Die Claque“.  A claque is a group of men and women in an audience who are paid to clap – a custom which was popular first in France and later in other European countries.

You might have guessed – this is for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge where the alphabet has reached the letter Q.
