Education for Everyone! Or at least…

…for Pabuca because it’s the current topic there.

Let’s start with this building, opened in 1878 as the city’s school house, later girl-only school, since 1979 “Haus der Begegnung” (house of encounter, meeting) with public library, gallery, music school, club and event rooms:

When the boys moved out of above school, they moved into the building underneath this clock, later named after local author Joseph Maria Lutz, who himself went to this school (see flyer for info [3] and full photo):

What the bees learn in this teaching apiary? ;) I have no idea. Obviously not how to clean signs…

Boring

The current Pabuca topic is boring… that is, it’s called “boring”. Since there are no big tunnel boring machines or other interesting borings nearby, well, only boring non-ground-boring stuff here…

An incomplete christmas market under construction, and not even with actual construction work going on at the moment:

(No, the crane in the background isn’t used here.)

Some shop windows in a small passage that have been empty for many years.

And very boring: An image that I didn’t want to show back in April for “Lost” because I had better ones – sorry, Matt von P, who thanked me that I didn’t show this photo of this lost(?) boring underwear:

Grey

Whether it’s grey or gray to you, it’s still the current Pabuca topic. But don’t be afraid of dull greys – that’s what this bridge at the local train station says:

Speaking of train station: Sometimes, trains seem to be going into the grey nowhere…

This old house combines so many shades of grey, a little color around it can’t be wrong:

graues-haus

New

Everything stays the same: a new Pabuca topic called “New”.

Around here, the streets are being renovated – but before everything new is finished, there are intermediate stages. But it’s supposed to be completed in the next few days.

Something new for the “old ones” – new building for the old people’s home:

The old ones make space for the new – on the bargain table of a bookstore with a former stationery department:

But even these typewriters once were novelties!
