Squaring the Bell

Debbie’s oddity of today is Bell Rock. Since this rock formation has a kind of angular look to it I remembered that I have an odd bell in my collection, a square one, in fact. It’s a fire warning bell that is housed in an old wooden tower that is otherwise used to hang fire hoses to dry: Der Schlauchtrockenturm in Ritschweier.

Kalter Herrgott

This wayside shrine is called Kalter Herrgott (Cold Lord).  It is found near the village of Ritschweier in the Odenwald, Germany, on the brow of a hill where cold winds blow.

With the wind blowing over the stubbles, autumn isn’t far away anymore:

Wenn der Wind über die Stoppelfelder weht, ist der Herbst nicht mehr fern.

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge had an open topic this week.  Mine was After the Harvest.
