Wet – pros and cons

Wet grass. It’s easy to forget how important water is.

Like when driving home in pouring rain and just looking forward to getting out of the wet clothes and snuggling down in a warm, dry place.

But sometimes we crave water. This was on the hottest day of that year, after having spent four or five hours in a school PE hall, on the way back to their accommodation. these guys saw a man watering his garden and begged for a cool down. They enjoyed getting wet so much!

Is it a flock? Is it a flight? No, it’s a dissimulation!

The Elwedritsche are mythical creatures believed to live in the Southwest of Germany. Often described as being birdlike but with antlers and scales instead of feathers, there are really very little bounds to the imagination. In Neustadt an der Weinstraße a whole dissimulation of Elwedritsche can be seen frolicking in the waters of a fountain, getting themselves wet and everybody who cares to stand close to them.

I picked the word dissimulation from a collection of collective nouns for birds. It seemed appropriate.

In Munich, there is a “standing wave” in the Eisbach (literally: ice brook) just before this branch of the river Isar is routed underground and later joins the main river again.  If the weather permits it, one can settle down at the banks and watch other people getting wet – while performing heroic deeds.
