While the plain to the west was all foggy yesterday and the light never penetrated the clouds properly, there were crisp blue skies and sunshine galore in the hills to the east and I took my camera and went for a walk.

Linked to I’m a fan of … #41.   Have a look what other people are fans of here.

Sob, heavy world 
Sob as you spin, 
Mantled in mist 
Remote from the happy. 
-W. H. Auden

Verboten!

verboten

For One Word Sunday: list.  And what a list it is!

It is forbidden in the forest to

  1. start or maintain an open fire – including a bbq fire
  2. smoke between 1 March and 31 October
  3. camp
  4. leave waste behind
  5. drive on forest tracks without a permit

Violations are a misdemeanour and carry a fine of up to 10,000 DM. Forestry office Bad Bergzabern.

From the fine it is clear that this is an old sign.  But boy, does it feed into prejudices about Germans. 😜

More lists or possibly listing photographs, have a look here.

 

A tale of a winter’s afternoon

An outing into the woods to savour the little bit of snow we had during the last couple of days.

First the road, leading up into the hills.

006 juhöh 2 (640x480)

Light and shadow playing on the surface.

006 juhöh 3 (640x480)

A path branching off.

006 juhöh 4 (480x640)

Walking amongst the trees.

006 juhöh 5 (640x480)

Snow crackling under the feet.

006 juhöh 6 (640x480)

The path circling a hill.

006 juhöh 7 (640x480)

And leading back to the road and the parking.
