On a clear day, rise and look around you. You will see forever, and ever, and ever more. (Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner)
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Clear skies.
How It Will Astound You
Tag: #rdp
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.
Coming on strong
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Brandish.
Not in My Backyard
We all need power. Hence there are power stations. This particular one – a bare 40km as the crow flies from where I live – is a nuclear one. It’s more than half an hour’s drive away, on clear days it kind of looms on the horizon but I had given it little thought until the earthquake and tsunami and consequent radiation at Fukushima happened.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Yard.
For a more traditional understanding of the word yard, you can also look at my One Word Sunday contribution from today. It is, however, just as ugly (if not as dangerous).
It’s not the Fox and Hound
In Germany “The Lamb” (often with the addition “golden” or “white”) is a traditional name for inns.
The two examples are “Hotel Das Lamm” in Handschuhsheim and “Gasthaus zum weißen Lamm” in Heiligkreuzsteinach.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Lamb.
To the Point
I could point out that while the socks are not that short, the word, the colour, the lips, the position of the feet are all designed to point out the message in a very compact, short way – but for the sake of brevity I will refrain.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Brevity.
