Crate-Speak

A closeup of what a particular shipping crate has to say to us. I am no semiotician, but as a layperson, I think that the crate is saying

"Keep me out of the rain and snow,"

and

"I am full of glassware."

 

In spite of the crate-speak warning, this crate was nicely weathered and thus photogenic for closeups.

 

Also, if you look close, you will see that:

- the umbrella is beginning to leak and has a broken handle.

- the wine glass is broken at the top of its stem and is cracked at its base.

 

By way of explanation:

The crate is in "indefinite long-term outdoor storage" at one of our favorite places to explore and eat, the Kreiterhof. I don't know whether or not the crate is still full of glassware.

 

Location: Kreiterhof, near Village of Nebenau, District of Lörrach, Baden-Württemberg DE.
