Some excellent photos here, Karl! Can you tell me what that huge crane (or whatever it is) is for? What a happy coincidence that the colors match the colors the women in the third photo are wearing. And that guy is not going to get thirsty! So funny! The woman carries her cucumber so carefully…and the last photo is brilliant! Did you wait all day for that one? Just kidding. I like the first photo with the rose, too. Thanks for posting these, Karl, I enjoyed them.
Ah – Joe just looked (he said “Very cool!”) and he thinks that’s a ride for a carnival. Right?
Joe got it! 🙂 It was a “Rummel” as we call it, a fair, close to the Erfurter Dom, that takes place every year. At the very end of the huge moving arm people are strapped to seats. They are flying around one axis and turning around another axis. I had the impression of a catapult being part of a siege against the Dom. 🙂 The last picture just proofs, three quarter of street-photography is luck (and walking). Have a nice day and regards to Joe! – Karl

Joe thought those were people up there and also thought of a catapult – great minds think alike, as they say. Luck and walking, may you continue both!
