Through the clouds wafting over the lake I could just about see the two pelicans (aka water purifiers) and a cormorant sitting on the stabilizer.
The photo is enhanced with photo editing, what I saw was more like this:
I hope the weather will pick up. I know this is typical for November and I should be grateful for normal weather but it is kind of depressing.

The neighbourhood of Mannheim were this lake can be found is called “Vogelstang”, literally “bird bar” or possibly “bird pole”. This pole however, did not feature any birds when I was passing by.
See in German can mean “sea” or “lake”. The Wolfgang See is in northern Austria.

This arcade is on the “upper lake” in Böblingen. The area around two lakes in the middle of town was revamped for the “Landesgartenschau” in the late 1990, a horticultural show. When a town is chosen to host the show it is usually done in such a way that the areal can be kept and benefit the inhabitants for years to come. I couldn’t find an explanation for this very tall and very barren – and indeed very vertical – arcade on the lakeside. It provides shade and makes for very nice reflections, though.
For One Word Sunday: vertical.
