It is colorful along the track

"When I bring to you colour'd toys, my child,
I understand why there is such a play of colours 
On clouds, on water, and why flow'rs are painted in tints:
When I give colour'd toys to you, my child."

What a joy it can be to renovate

On May 18, 2018 - Street scenes - garages and parking places 

"All are architects of Fate,
   Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
   Some with ornaments of rhyme.

Nothing useless is, or low;
   Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show
   Strengthens and supports the rest."

(H.W. Longfellow in The builders)

Where my car is almost buried

On May 14, 2018 - Street scenes - garages and parking places 

"Could we dig up this long-buried treasure,
Were it worth the pleasure,
We never could learn love's song,
We are parted too long."

Small is Beautiful!

"Auch kleine Dinge können uns entzücken,
Auch kleine Dinge können teuer sein.
Bedenkt, wie gern wir uns mit Perlen schmücken;
Sie werden schwer bezahlt und sind nur klein."

We only take the bus

On January 5, 2018 - Street scenes - garages and parking places


“And the last bus
Comes letting dark
Umbrella’s out –
Black flowers, black flowers.

And lives go on.”
