Rue Lepic

Montmartre, Paris On a Monday in the month of August (therefore empty :)

end of the season

The season is over now for "my" team - yesterday was the last match. They lost, but it didn't matter. They managed to stay in the 1. league... :)

1. Mai

a pretty tree in the botanical garden in Karlsruhe

métro station

designed with my favorite colors...

aurora

Burgruine Staufen

the castle ruin in Staufen (last weekend)

walk in the park

Schloßgarten, Karlsruhe

Schluchsee

Sometimes there is a sandy beach below the wall - I took this picture remembering lovely summer hours on the beach. The water level of the lake is changing as the lake is part of a pumped storage hydropower plant (in my language: Pumpspeicherkraftwerk).

Spring

A view of the Feldberg summit taken on my probably last cross country ski tour of the season on Saturday ... and some of my favourite spring flowers.

blaue Wiese

The blue meadow in the Schloßgarten in Karlsruhe is in full bloom again. This year I took some pictures of it in the sunshine.

ducks

swimming on Titisee (a lake in the Black Forest).

dog-tired II

I must confess that I took inspiration from Talon for this post (title & picture).
That's a dog I saw in the autumn in Bucharest and it looks like I feel right now. Today is the 5th day that I spend in bed sick from some virus... the fever and the cough don't seem to want to leave me :(
