A dammed valley

This reservoir in the Odenwald, the Marbach Stausee, features a unique structure in the middle. I’m sure it has something to do with the lake’s function but I’ve not found a detailed explanation why it is there – except for looking strange and unique, especially with its reflection in the still waters.

Auto perception

or bicycle perspective?

For the final square for July, I thought I’ll go for a selfie of sorts. It is a reflection of myself (a flattering one at that as the street mirror elongated me just a smidgen) and self-reflection is always a good start to get a new perception of the world.

Inversion.  According to the Cambridge dictionary: a situation “in which something is changed so that it is the opposite of what it was before” or “in which something is turned upside down”.

I started out simple.  Schoolyard inversion.

10 reflection a

Here is a long shot of the lake in Böblingen, where I took this picture, to explain the extraordinary colour, right in the middle:

PS: The title is a word pun crossing German-English lines.  Mallards are called “stock ducks” (Stockenten) in German.
