Autumn Again
“Autumn” is also this week’s Pabuca topic. Last week, I already presented a selection of 59 sunny autumn pictures all of which can be viewed on Flickr – but I’ve kept three for Pabuca, three that are more related to Pfaffenhofen than colorful leaves that can be found virtually anywhere.

Bouncing town halls – that is, bouncing castles looking like the town hall – probably aren’t that old:
But documents may be so old:
And a genuine photo from the city’s marching band back then:
