While the sun is merciless bringing asphalt and concrete in the cities to glow, here at the waterfall called Eistobel in the allgäu alps You find a realy relaxed climate. On its way through the rocks, the river (Upper Argen) is spreading a soft spray mist what is uniting with a cool wisp of wind under the trees. This is a perfect aircondition. Besides that the rustling and murmeling of the water has also a calming yes allmost a hypnitic effect. More to this beautiful place soon.
Während die Sonne unbarmherzig Beton und Asphalt in den Städten zum Glühen bringen, herscht hier am Eistobel im Allgäu ein entspanntes Klima. Bei seinem Weg durch die Felsen verteilt der Fluß (Oberer Argen) einen sanften Spühnebel, der sich mit dem leichten und kühlen Wind unter dem Blätterdach vermischt. Die perfekte Klimaanlage. Ganz nebenbei hat das Rauschen und Murmeln das Wassers auch noch eine beruhigende, ja fast hypnotische Wirkung. Mehr zu diesem wunderschönen Ort gibt es ein anderes mal.
The circles and dashes painted on the black asphalt have always been an invitation to small children to run along the lines. Listening to bits of conversations of boys and girls on the playground made me realize that each generation of small people have a sense that they are moving through space. What a great way to encourage physical activity.
“Yes, Robin, there are quite a few holes in this roof. I surmised that our planes strayed off course when practicing a bombing run, but then I got this message from the Riddler. It says, ‘What sits and waits for those who can wait no longer?’”
“Holy tough riddle, Batman. However will we figure it out?”
“Luckily, Robin the answer is right in front of you!”
“Do you mean the linemen who service the power lines, Batman?”
“That is an idiotic answer, Robin. You are going to have to try harder if you want to remain my sidekick. What do you see on the roof, Robin?”
“Holy flapping wings! I see birds, Batman!”
“Finally, I mean that is correct, Robin. The answer to the riddle is Vultures. I am going to lower you into the hole so that you can check and see if anything is dead!”
“I am going to need the bear spray, Batman.”
“Sigh!”
Mostly off until Sunday! Have a great weekend, my friends!
Doing what an asphalt muncher does. Munching asphalt while tearing up the road.

I know that the cracks in this asphalt appeared before the plants poked their green stems up to the sunlight. However, I do appreciate how small plants will appear through concrete sidewalks and asphalt. The roots of the plant will take advantage of existing microscopic cracks. New cell growth takes place at the tips of plant roots. As the root system grows and develops, these tips act as feelers, seeking out the path of least resistance for expansion.
