Bio-Breakthrough

I posted a different version of this image last year. I think this one is much better. Taken at the Kreiterhof.*

 

The plant shown is my least favorite local weed--the aggressive European Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus). In spring, if left alone, it grows shoots about 2m long in 2 months. The thorns are numerous and sharp. Heavy gloves are a must when getting rid of it.

 

* The Kreiterhof (see location below) is an amazing, amusing 200+ year-old rural establishment. Visitors are welcome from spring through autumn. You can go for a drink or a casual, simple outdoor meal. Before or after, you can wander around and take photos of a mind-boggling accumulation of objects, materials and devices that are in "indefinite long-term outdoor-storage."

 

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