Schtri, schtra, schtro – de Summerdag is do

· 7 Comments ·

Technically these pictures were not taken in summer. But “summer’s day” is celebrated each year on Laetare Sunday, i.e. three weeks before Easter. After a spring parade through town a large snowman is burnt to represent the end of winter.

 

In years gone by the snowman was burnt in the town square. For years, the fire fighters have argued that this is not safe with so many people in the square, close to the burning effigy. Covid gave them the ammunition they needed and now the burning takes place in the gardens of the local castle. This picture is from ten years ago:

Sorry for the title. It’s local dialect.

—— Another photoscape filter, this time CP2. ——– And finally, an artistic filter called edges.

———– Photoshopped images for the One to Three Processing Challenge in February.

When you start a snowman you start with the body.

Only then you put the head on the body.

Looking through my pictures of the day I found a shot where I caught the guys carrying the head to the bodyin the background.

Top hat

A follow up to yesterday’s snow covered tops, I give you a snowman and his inevitable demise. This year the traditional burning of a snowman to drive away winter has been cancelled due to you know what. 

A snowman needs to wear a top hat.  It’s a given.

This is my fifth top square for Becky’s April Square Challenge.
