I was nominated by Teresa and by Margaret to post one travel picture a day for ten days without explanation, then to nominate someone else to participate. That’s 10 days, 10 travel images, and 10 nominations.
The photos I am going to show in this challenged are from travels around Germany and where chosen to introduce my German language students to various German sites.
Here is my tenth one:
No stress, no nomination. Join in if you want to share your travel memories.
That’s what it looked like here today: The two castles overlooking the old part of town were trying to break to through the mist and reach the sunshine. They never quite made it but it left a wonderful promise for better weather.

Eschudel’s word for the Ragtag Daily Prompt for today is wine.
I live in a town which is called Weinheim, where wine is grown and the city arms features a wine ladder.
So I stop right here. —
I revisited the Gruffalo sculpture. One passes the mouse and the Gruffalo when walking up to the castle ruin Windeck in Weinheim.
Here are some more pictures and a short explanation about this sculpture.

The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
This is a monument to honour the victims of violence, war, and persecution by Hubertus von der Goltz. That their precarious position is threatened can be seen by the spikes on either side (I have to go back and get a better photo).

This is the chapter house of the Wachenburg in Weinheim, a room where large meetings are held. Normally one finds such halls in church related buildings such as monastries or cathedrals but this chapter house is part of a castle built by an association of fraternities. It is used once a year by the association itself when the fraternity members have their annual meeting, the rest of the year it can be booked for events.

You have to pass a lot of trees but the castle and the view is worth it.

I think I have to explain my train of thought here.
Serenity – I immediately thought of the Serenity, the spaceship of Mal Reynolds in the cult series Firefly (yes, sometimes I’m a nerd). Mal Reynolds is played by Nathan Fillion who has come to non-nerd fame with the tv series Castle. My hometown is known as the two-castle town (“Zweiburgenstadt”) and in my photo you can see why. I hope the shot conveys the serenity I felt, on a late summer’s evening, just before sundown, with everything quiet and peaceful around me. And so I’ve come full circle.

This weekend would have been our yearly town festival. The old part of the town would be clad in blue and white bunting and the town’s white and blue.
Cancelled to COVID, of course. The photos are an assembly from years past.
