The past several entries all came from the island of Borkum itself (as we caught up with the sequence on this particular series). This shot shows the coast of Groningen province, on the west side of the Ems estuary, as our ferry approached the German down of Emden which is on the east side of the same estuary. Plenty ‘o such windmills all over the coastlines and off shore on both sides of this international border.
Staying with the theme of “confusing churches,” the star-design window on this one confuses both me and many other visitors with whom I’ve walked this way before. This entrance has been just a few doors down from my own building for nearly my entire two years here, but from August I’ll be living in another part of the city, so this my be its farewell appearance.
Long summer days, nice weather, and (long-) weekend travels recently have allowed me to see many more intriguing entrances, so we’ll devote the next eleven posts to exploring them in all their ranges and styles. Hope you’ll enjoy the journey.
And another set of images from a single garden, behind a building which has an interesting history documented in the middle photo of the three-photo gallery just below. (Note: if you don’t see all these images on your small-screen, try again with larger screen or a different browser.)
All of these photos come from the same pair of private-home or private-office gardens that I visited on my “Open Garden Days” tour to which I introduced you in a series that began with this post.
(so much world, so little time....)
