Según una tradición china, los puentes en zigzag impiden que los malos espÃritus puedan seguir a los fieles que acuden al templo ya que aquellos solo pueden desplazarse en lÃnea recta…
According to a Chinese tradition, zigzag bridges prevent evil spirits from following the faithful who come to the temple, since they can only move in a straight line…
Took a while for the right arrangement to come together - I do like the framing and alignment of the three people.
Now it soon going to be Easter; and I should go out and look for some easter eggs; but I hate eggs, speciel the chocolate ones , I would rather like to go out and find some good dog chews, but maybe if I find some eggs I can exhange them to bones.
they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom :-)

"Citadel": apartment building, 2022, architects: MVSA.
The location of the new apartment building, called Citadel, is in the ‘Blue Band village’ neighbourhood, directly opposite the famous complex of ‘sawtooth houses’ by prominent post-war architect Frans van Gool. Built in 1959, the blocks of single-family houses have an experimental floor plan that means their façades form a zigzag line, creating a sawtooth pattern. It was the blue mouldings on their roofs that gave the neighbourhood its Blue Band nickname, after the packaging of the Dutch margarine brand.
With the whole Blue Band village a protected monument since 2008, our design for the new build set out to respect its context, while adding a contemporary twist to the neighbourhood. Rather than attempting a high-rise building, which would have sat awkwardly here, we opted for a mid-rise development that would not dwarf the existing housing. We also responded to the sawtooth theme with a striking façade of zigzagging white balconies for our apartment building. These form a dynamic rippling wave as they progress over its face.

A little ghost!
The Zigzag Heron is an enigmatic, poorly-known little heron of swampy forest. Adults are very dark overall, gray heavily marked with narrow black vermiculations. Juveniles are cinnamon on the face and neck and cinnamon with black vermiculations on the upperparts. This species occurs in areas with slow-moving or standing water adjacent to dense vegetation, including gallery forest, swamp forest, and streams, pools, and marshes bordering tropical evergreen forest. Here it hunts for small fish and insects from branches low over the water. Birds have a peculiar habit of tail-flicking while hunting. Individuals are most-often detected by scanning the water's edge carefully from a boat or listening for the cooing call near dawn or dusk. Pantanal North is the Southeast location where this bird can be seen. Otherwise, you must go to the Amazon Forest. It was a real threat to find this amazing little bird. I hope you enjoy it - better seen Large (press L).

Das 1925 bis 1929 errichtete Grassimuseum zählt zu den wenigen großen deutschen Museumsbauten in der Weimarer Republik. Für das geschichtsträchtige Areal zwischen Altem Johannisfriedhof und Johannisplatz entwarf der Leipziger Stadtbaurat Hubert Ritter in Verbindung mit dem Architekturbüro Zweck und Voigt eine weitläufige Anlage. Der Grundriss ist der Tradition des europäischen Schlossbaus verpflichtet. In der Architektur verbindet sich eine klare, funktionalistisch orientierte Formensprache mit den expressiven Schmuckformen des Art déco.
Built between 1925 and 1929, the Grassimuseum is one of the few major German museum buildings of the Weimar Republic. For the historically significant area between the Old St John's Cemetery and Johannisplatz, the Leipzig city planning officer Hubert Ritter designed a spacious complex in conjunction with the architectural firm Zweck und Voigt. The layout follows the tradition of European palace construction. The architecture combines a clear, functionalist design language with the expressive decorative forms of Art Deco.
