Midsummer Heat


Midsummer Days
Looking for shade

An Escape
from scorching heat

Where to?
I did not dare ask!

Heisse Wurst
Hot Dog?
No, thanks!

A Swing?
In cool shade?
Why not!

A Cool Drink?
Yes, please!

Dinner al fresco?
Who'd say no?

And now?
It is yours
to dream!

    Thank you, Cynthia! :-)

    Sarah Lulu,
    we feed off each other, depending on the season, don't we? ;-)
    May there be many sunny days until summer returns to your side of the globe!

    Vicki Lane,
    this door takes you here and here! ;-)
    The last three images have also been taken at this place.
    It is a dream of a place and like many dream places, unfortunately ... well, I'd say, go there for coffee! ;-)

  6. FYI:
    I received a mail, enquiring how I accomplished to bring out the statue with the lighter surface in the back. No, none of those magic photowhatsever out there (my computer won't support them!), just patience: I stood there quietly until that whisper of a cloud was exactly where I needed it. Thanks, Saint Peter! :-)

  13. The place with the swing...enchanting! With a cool breeze and a big bowl of ice cream nearby, perfect. And where is the hot dog person? Off to get some ice maybe.

    I hope the weather there is not too uncomfortable. At least it gives one a good reason to indulge in some ice cream. I better get some today. I can't stop thinking about it. (It's hot here, too.)

    I love the tranquility in your photos. A visit here is like a quick walk through a beautiful garden.
