The experiment is called “school” or even “life” – these are primary school kids with a welcoming song for the new kids on their first day of school ever.

What purple dreams may come

15 a

I found this fun guy in a pedestrian underpass in Lüneburg, Germany.  He was the only worthwhile creature on an ugly, smeared wall full of tags and badly written slogans.

15 b

A bit later I met him again, this time on a distribution box.  I’m sure if I had had more time to spend I would have seen him even more often.

15 c

From the same town a simple quote – “Let your dreams outlast the night.”  As long as they are not nightmares …

This is for Monday Murals.

What a dummy!

m dummySchnullerbaum

That’s the dummy tree in the Luisenpark in Mannheim, Germany. No, it doesn’t grow dummies but children who are ready to give up their comforting friend can hang it in its branches.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge alphabet has reached the Letter M – Needs to have 2 M’s anywhere in the word.

Once a year

26 traces

No, I don’t mean the traces of the River Rhine in the distance, nor the town of Rüdesheim on its banks, nor the strange totem poles, nor even the old monastery in front of which this guy was kneeling.  It’s his back – with the locations of all the German national HHH meetings since 1989 on his shirt.  Good times!

Criss-cross

28 crossed a

A pure – if boring – crossed line.  But seldom have I seen such a perfect right angle in the sky.

28 crossed b

No comment necessary.

28 crossed c

It’s not a collage.  I took the picture because I liked the sign with the playing kids but it ended up looking like a deliberate patchwork.

28 crossed d

The ultimate in crossed lines, of course, is a half-timbered house.  This one stands in Lorsch, Germany. It is typical for the area with the wooden structure resting on a stone walls forming the ground floor.
