One church, four views

I approached this church, walking up a slight incline.  I tried the tree on the right as a frame:

34 church a (640x480)

Getting a bit nearer it looked like this:

34 church c (640x480)

Even closer, and now in portrait:

34 church d (480x640)

And once again, on a different day:

34 church e (480x640)

Although the subject lends itself to a portrait format because of the spire I prefer the first and second shot (the second more than the first).

This is for Paula’s Thursday’s Special with the given task once over.  Okay, it was a few more than that.  More different looks on the same subject can be found here.

Just a drop

32 past b (480x640)

Traces of the past in more ways than one.  The fountain in front of the main building of the Ludwigs-Maximilians-Universität in München (Munich, Germany) was built in the middle of the 19th century. It has a pendant across the street.

The place is called Geschwister-Scholl-Platz in remembrance of the students Sophie and Hans Scholl who died because of their protest against the nazi regime.

And lastly, I stood in this fountain with about 20 others many years ago when I was a student there and the picture was taken for an election poster for the students’ council.

3 out of 5

… I knew. For the others I needed a dictionary.

So hot it is white – the fire in the kiln of a glass blower.

31 festive

She was all dressed up for the celebration.

31 auricomous

Bleached, flaxen, pale – well, if he had shaved I might have used the pic for festive.

Stadttor
angular

Angles everywhere.

31 algid
algid

It was summer and somebody had cooled the beer so much that when it was opened and put down the liquid and foam rose up and froze to the shelve.  If that happens again, can I say: “Have an algid beer?”  😀

Of trees and snows and kisses

For the Thursday’s Special, Paula wrote: “I would like you to post again what you consider to be your best shot posted this year.”  So I looked through all my photos and rediscovered some shots.  That’s what I came up with tonight, if I were to look again tomorrow it might be a different one.
