Protective Frost
It hasn’t been cold enough yet this year so I had to go back about 18 month when the fruit trees had already started to flower and a cold snap was on the way. The way to protect the blooms is to put on the sprinklers and make the forming ice protect the leaves and shoots.
Here is a post from then with more photos: Ice, Ice, Baby
Plane Trees
Many squares in Europe are lined with plane trees. They look great in summer creating shade and a lovely greenish light. In winter they go bare and are usually cut back severely. This is what makes those clumps at the end of branches.
And in spring when they leaf out they look like this.
At Any Time of the Year
Wiesbaden, like Rome, is built on seven hills. The most prominent one is the “Neroberg”. About halfway up on this hill is the Russian-orthodox church – a reminder of the time when Russians were very prominent in the city. The golden tops of its five towers look spectacular no matter what the weather is.
They look spectacular in autumn when one comes upon them unsuspectedly from below after walking through a sombre autumn forest.
It looks spectacular in winter when one approaches from above and the sun hits the gold with full force.
It looks spectacular in summer when only the golden tops look over the green canopy of the surrounding forest.
Legal Architecture
That the Amtsgericht in Weinheim, the lowest kind of court there is in Germany. It looks idyllic but cases with possible sentences of up to four years are tried here.
