Tag: #Ragtag Daily Prompt

“And how do you rate the chances of the Boks?”

During the Rugby World Cup in 2015 we were in Newcastle for the match between Scotland and South Africa. This was on the day before and a team from the SABC (South African Broadcasting Corporation) were happy to do an interview with a German supporting the Sprinkboks. We don’t know if this snippet was ever seen in South Africa or whether it landed on the cutting floor.

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Interview.

Demolition of a Colossus

The huge beast advanced towards its stricken opponent. Resistance was no longer an option. The behemoth opened its monstrous jaws and started ripping pieces of calcified flesh out of the now lifeless, giant carcass.

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Behemoth.

Mousepad

For once, this butterfly let me take pictures without fluttering away.

And then it showed me its wings in all their glory.

And this has been my mousepad motive for the last couple of years

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Butterfly.

A Thing of the Past

at least, hopefully, for this year.

Thought I quickly sneak in a last snow picture with this prompt. I like its fixed dimensions, behind the forest the season has already changed.

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Blanket.

It gets dark

when you drive in – at least when the old German “Gstanzl” or “Schnadahüpfel” (a fun song with many verses, often in dialect) is to be believed:

Zwische Woinem und Bergene 
do schteiht e Tunnell, wø mer noifährt, 
werd's dunkel, 
wø mer nausfährt, werd's hell!
Holladihi-a holladiho! Holladihopsasa holladiho!

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Tunnel.
