The same backyard as in my last photo, this time from a different angle from the lower part of the passage.
Two similar signs, one in Freiburg at the restaurant "Storchen", the other in Colmar. Despite the different countries and languages, there's a lot of joint history. Nonetheless, there are differences that immediately let you recognize which shot is from Germany and which from France.

The Externsteine is a distinctive sandstone rock formation located in the Teutoburg Forest, in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The formation consists of several tall, narrow columns of rock which rise abruptly from the surrounding wooded hills.
The site draws about a million visitors a year, for a variety of reasons. Most are tourists who come to admire the beauty of the majestic rock formations that jut out from the flat, forested landscape.
But it is not only a geological curiosity, Externsteine is also reputed to be an ancient and sacred palaeolithic worshiping ground, and an astronomical calendar. Therefore, Externsteine became a mecca for Neo-pagans, Neo-Nazis and neo-pagan-Nazis.
The pagan ceremonies held at Externsteine take place three times a year: on the longest day of the year (June 21), the shortest day of the year (December 21) and on Walpurgis Night (“Night of the Witches”) on April 30.

Germania, Berlino, Memoriale dell’Olocausto, Primavera 2015
Il Memoriale dell'Olocausto è un memoriale a Berlino dedicato alle vittime dell'Olocausto. Si trova un isolato a sud della Porta di Brandeburgo. Consiste in un’area di 19.000 m2 coperta con 2.711 blocchi di cemento o "stele", disposti in un modello di griglia su un campo in pendenza. Le steli sono 2,38 m di lunghezza, 0,95 m di larghezza e variano in altezza da 0,2 a 4,8 m. E' stato inaugurato il 10 maggio 2005, 60 anni dopo la fine della seconda guerra mondiale. Le steli sono state progettate per indurre una sensazione di disagio e creare un’atmosfera confusa. Tuttavia, gli osservatori hanno notato somiglianza del memoriale ad un cimitero.

Norderney, Germany, 2021.
When you are in the very east of the island of Norderney, it feels like you can almost touch its neighboring island Baltrum, which is only 650 meters away.
