It’s not Five Minutes to Midnight yet
Nor quite seven either. But it’s almost seven.
I suppose I could have gone out and caught a clock at exactly 7 o’clock but it was much more fun to look at all the clocks in my archive. The closest I came to 7 o’clock was half past six (or “half seven”) on the face of the Uhrtürmlein in Frankfurt
and three minutes to seven in Bourg-en-Bresse at the con-cathedral Notre Dame.

Of Dice and Ducks
As there were a few comments on my posts about counting in my photos, here is some help:
And another helpful fact: Seven is the only one digit number with two syllables.
Here are three shots where you can apply this “newfound” knowledge:
That was easy. Here is one a bit more difficult:
And now, the master class:

Seven People
When I passed this somehow intriguing, somehow disconcerting church – the brick stripes really create an unsettling effect – I counted seven, snapped it for September, and hurried by. At home I realised it is eight, not seven, figures – the baby was hard to see before a bit of enhancing the photo. Which is weird considering that Christians have named their faith after this baby. But it’s still seven adults.
So I thought I pair it with a square seven shot that I had been holding back because as much as I love winter (the real one, with snow and ice) I am not yet ready for it.
Seven living breathing beings in this one. Babies and dogs were counted.

Rugby Sevens
Since Nigel Owens featured as the impartial referee in a rugby test yesterday the progression to Sevens (as in Rugby Sevens) seemed quite natural. I don’t have any photos of a Sevens match but there are seven players in each photo.

The Seven Pillars of Wisdom II
Purity: The German order of purity dictates what is allowed to go into a beer brew.
Consideration: “Being considerate makes roads wider”, written on a road leading through the vineyards of Rheinland-Pfalz.
The second lot of pillars of wisdom. Which ones do you prefer?
- I: counsel, understanding, strength, power of authority, riches, honour, knowledge
- II: purity, peacefulness, sincerity, mercy, impartiality, submissiveness, consideration

The Seven Pillars of Wisdom I
As counted in Proverbs 9. A few translation seem to be in order.
Strength: The inscription on a house in Wiesbaden. It reads: “German house, German land, protect it, God, with your strong hand.”
Honour: The crest of a student fraternity, loosely translated as “Honour doesn‘t come cheap“.
I found these seven pillars on the web and looked in my archive for photos to illustrate them. Then I got curious and found seven different pillars of wisdom. It’s possibly a translation or even an interpretation issue as in German they don’t match either list completely. I’ll do a part 2 tomorrow with different pillars.
