African Savannah in Kronberg
I’ve been to the southern most boabab in the Kruger Park in South Africa, i.e. I know that boababs don’t like colder climates. So when I saw this one, near Frankfurt am Main in Germany, I knew something was not right – despite the giraffes and zebras milling about.
The location is a give away – as is the door – this is an artificial baobab. They wanted to create an African atmosphere at the Opel-Zoo but doesn’t it look absurd with the rest of the German landscape and plants around?

Ragtag Daily Prompt: Proximity . How come?
Coming Saturday is a public holiday in parts of Germany, the catholic parts (many of the public holidays in Gemany are traditionally based on the church calender), i.e. all shops will be closed.

However, having the advantage of living in close proximity to another state, i.e. the state of Hesse where All Saints is not an official holiday, I can get on my bicycle and drive less than 5km to the west or 10km to the north and and I can shop at my hearts content if I feel the need to do so.
