The final part of the old Garching Maibaum (maypole) being removed this morning.
An early morning misty scene showing 3 workers in hi-viz PPE loading the bottom section of a deinstalled wooden maypole onto a council lorry.

This bust of Friedrich von Schiller sure reminds me of Henry Cavill in The Witcher.
A shot looking up at the sculpted bust and chiselled cheekbones of poet Friedrich von Schiller by Stuttgart artist Johann Heinrich Dannecker. It‘s dated 1805-1810 and is on display at the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart.

To Stuttgart to visit one of my favourite German cities. That it was such a gorgeous autumnal day added to my delight. It was sad to see they’re dismantling the Riesenrad though.
Looking across the Schlossgarten lake with buildings reflected in the water. A scene outside Carls Brauhaus of an empty cafe table and chairs. The big wheel being dismantled with only a third of its structure remaining.

Herbstblätter (Autumn leaves)
A portrait photo of a pile of fallen wet leaves ranging from green through yellow and brown to orange and red, completely filling the image frame.

We went for a long Sunday afternoon walk around a beautiful, autumnal Westpark in Munich. I‘ve never seen so many people: hundreds of families and couples of every age, enjoying the sun and the spectacular colours of the season.
A carpet of fallen orange and yellow leaves in a wooded park, leading to a set of stone steps in the distance.

Sicht auf einen See. Im Vordergrund sind kleine Sträucher und hohes Gras, rechts ist ein Ast einer Birke zu sehen. Im Hintergrund ist das andere Ufer, an dem sich ebenfalls Bäume befinden. Die Sonne scheint und am blauen Himmel sind weiße Wolken.

Enjoying summer for as long as it lasts!

This seems to be Potentilla fruticosa but I’m not certain. It’s gorgeous though, right?
A series of cinquefoil yellow flowers forming a wavy pattern that punches out of a dark green-leaved background with a dark vignette applied.

I walked up the Bergstrasse from Hart at 660m to this view over Fügen and Zillertal, over 900m up. The climb was fine but my calves are now complaining about the descent. 😀
A sunny day panoramic view over the Ziller valley in Tyrol, northwest Austria, with pine forests, small alpine farms and villas on the hillsides, and the small town of Fügen far away in the distant valley.

It's "help an undergraduate research project time"!

Siân is researching how well Scottish people and Scots speakers are understood. Listen to some audio clips and see how well you fare. Took me less than 10mins and it was very fun!

Early morning mountain light. Zillertal, Austria.
Early morning sun bursting through a tree top, illuminating a mountainside field with darker trees layering off into a hazy distance.

We’re blessed with pleasant weather in Tirol, at last. This is the Zillertal looking down from Hart.
A portrait shot of a landscape scene in Austria, featuring green fields leading down to the valley of Zillertal and up a distant mountain. A typical Tirolean house is off to the right. The sky is cloudy.

Summer breeze makes me feel fine blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
A close up photo of tall grasses gently swaying in the breeze. Behind is a soft golden sunset from last year. I have given the photo an extra tinge of yellow to make it arty farty

I love this image and think about it each time I visit the Bauhaus.
A staircase at the Bauhaus school, but with no people on it.

At the Deutsch-Französisches Freundschaftsfest in Pullach and those clouds look pretty ominous. The wind is picking up already. 😕
Empty beer tables and benches waiting for the arrival of guests to the German-French street festival, with dark clouds in the distance.

A calming moment in the lounge this afternoon.
