On a visit to the town of Schwetzingen near Heidelberg I looked up and saw this knight gracing a chimney on a roof. Without my camera’s zoom I wouldn’t have seen the details.
These stone sculptures were in the garden of a restaurant.
And this little fellow stands in a public square, watching asparagus being sold.
Since one of the words in Paula’s Thursday’s Special Pick a Word was CONTINUITY I thought I start with a circle because every photos has two of the words in it.
The Red Mosque situated in the palace gardens of the Schwetzingen Castle is turned inward with continuing elements: INWARD + CONTINUITY.
The Walderdorffer Hof in Bensheim, build around 1395 is considered to be the oldest completely preserved half-timbered house in the southern part of the state of Hesse: CONTINUITY + REFLECTION.
One of the high rise buildings in Frankfurt am Main, a stronghold of the European banking industry: REFLECTING + STRONGHOLD.
Veste Otzberg on a hill in the Odenwald was built as a stronghold and can only be reached on foot: STRONGHOLD + PEDESTRIAN.
Whether you consider the walk of this tortoise pedestrian or its whole demeanour pedestrian there is no doubt that this animal can turn inward if it needs to be: PEDESTRIAN + INWARD.

Found on the walls of the Red Mosque in the palace gardens of the Schwetzinger Schloss. Since summer is short or in Shakespeares’ words:
“Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.”
be like the busy ant, go milk those aphids, gather the honeydew, and store it for winter. Coz’ winter is coming.
Alternatively, you can also stop and smell the roses.

These are windows from the Heidelberg Castle (Renaissance), Gersfeld, Schwetzingen and Mannheim palace (all three Baroque buildings).
Heidelberg, Mannheim and Schwetzingen are in close proximity of each other – one can see that sandstone is a prevalent building material in the area. Gersfeld is not that far away, about the same distance from Frankfurt to the north-east as the others are south.
