So the song says (if you don’t want to follow the link look at the lyrics below).

Could’a fooled me!

Freedom IS across a county line if you are not in Munich because there is the Münchner Freiheit (Munich’s Freedom, a square in the borrow of Schwabing).

And in Brandenburg it IS a place you float to find – just follow the Havel river. (Ironic that there is no stopping once you reach Freedom Close).


When you’ve arrived you hope that there is no fulltime occuption but a free room:

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Free

The Lyrics of Freedom from the musical Shenandoah: 

Freedom ain't a state like Maine or Virginia
Freedom ain't across some county line
Freedom is a flame that burns within ya
Freedom's in the state of mind.

Freedom ain't a boat that's leavin' without you
Freedom ain't a place you float to find
Freedom is the how ya think about you
Freedom's in the state of mind.

[...]

Freedom is a notion sweeping the nation
Freedom is the right of all mankind
Freedom is a full time occupation
Freedom's in the state of mind

Many dairy farms decorate their entrance with a plastic, life-size cow.  I have even seen cows painted as strawberries, colourful and psychedelic cows.  










They are pretty life-like, particularly the veins show around the udder.  










Whoever painted these two specimen has gone a little overboard painting the veins in blue, black and dark russet. It bothers me everytime I pass by.





The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Venation





PS: While checking whether I had the right word for the blood vessels in and around the udder, I came across the startling information that there are beauty pageants for cows.  There actually are cow beauty queens called Miss Zürich, for example.  Now that’s a piece of trivia I will not forget in a hurry!
