Find Your Way
Traditional signposts in the woods around here. Sometimes so traditional (aka: old) that they are overgrown and cannot fulfill their proper function. But if you look for them they will send you on the right way. Less traditional, the sign post at a the tennis … Continue reading Find Your Way
Fern Green Signs
Cee is asking for examples of the colour fern green. Now, the easy (and potentially beautiful) way out would be to show actual fern.
A restaurant in Scotland, a bus stop in Baden-Württemberg, a warning sign in France, a warning sign in Germany, a sign for a wine growing town, a sign for a scenic place near Frankfurt.

Do Not Suck!
So many signs are forbidding something. (NB: I translated more literally than idiomatically.)
Some signs are wordier than others.
Some are curt but add the forbidding authority to add force.
Some may have an acceptable reasoning behind it.
Some might. Or might not.
Some seem to be put up out of spite. Or maybe not.
So I really appreciate a sign like this.
But even then, some restrictions might be a good idea.
In any case, it might be a good idea to read signs properly
even if only for self preservation.
But the most important sign which I try to follow in my life:

I Want to Ride My Bicycle Where I Like
Lots of signs for cycle tracks around here. Some plain, just showing: this is for bicycles.
Some show directions and destinations.
There are also multi-purpose signs:
One direction to Mannheim, one to Heidelberg, one to Schwetzingen. And the scenic routes are:
Pan-European cycle track, the Rhine Valley cycle track, the asparagus route , the Kurpfalz route and the Leimbach route. Take your pick.

With a Little Help from Your Friends
Participating in an orienteering event it’s necessary to know what signs are used and what they mean. So before we start running the hares (aka the runners who have mapped out the run) explain the signs they are using on the day.
Of course, there is always the scientific explanation:
I’m a Fan of Traditional Costumes
Traditional costume from the Alsace.
Odenwälder and Bergsträßer traditional costume.
Non-specific traditional costume from the South and Southwest of Germany.
These murals in Lindenfels are badly faded, I enhanced them with photo shop. The left picture depicts the traditional costume of Lindenfels in the Odenwald; the right picture shows young women from Moëlan sur Mer in traditional Breton costume. The two towns are twinned.
Another version of Odenwald costume from Neunkirchen, the highest village in the Hessian part of the Odenwald, part of the community of Modautal.
Rules of the Garden
Enjoy the sun. Relax. Mow the lawn. Harvest the fruits. Rake the beds. Invite your friends.
