“Speed”

by cimddwc · 2014-05-27

“Speed” is the current topic at Pabuca – well, here’s rather the absence thereof…

I met this not really fast fellow yesterday:

Here you see the remainders of the speedway track around the football ground – boards and slopes are already gone. In order to make room for the small horticultural show 2017, for which also this football ground and the other training grounds in the back will be moved a little. On one hand, it’s a pity for the drivers, but on the other hand it’s very good because, well, I always considered it strange whenever an official or some politicians were proud of having such a noisy sport almost in the middle of the town – “delighting” the entire town with the noise on many a weekend.

The innermost city center isn’t made for fast drivers:

Reflections

“Reflections” is the current Pabuca topic, and here are only wet reflections:

It’s not a big puddle, so there’s not a lot of the town hall tower reflecting in it:

During weather that’s not that well suited for open-air pool visits, there’s “not much” going on in the diving pool, only the wind causes slight ripples:

When it rains, there are hardly any noticeable reflections visible – still, it would have been suited for mental reflections while reflecting between the pool edges oneself; rain doesn’t really bother when inside the pool (as long as it’s thunderstrom-free). Of course it only started raining that much when I was finished swimming…

(Two or three swimmers were still in the pool, just outside of the photographed section.)

Homes

The next Pabuca topic…

An old house (that looks even older due to some filtering):

New homes and space for even more – on a former industrial area at the edge of the city center:

And finally the freshly renovated Flaschlturm (“flask tower”), a relic from the old fortifications along the town wall – more here (PDF), item 2. Will be used as home for art scholarship holders, the first of these “Joseph Maria Lutz scholarships” was awarded recently (German):

Lines

New Pabuca topic, of course…

Four straight lines to sit on and to write on, as at least a few kids seem to think – below that, dry between moist and finally vertical with horizontal:

Religion

by cimddwc · 2014-04-22

Appropriately for the bunny celebrations – since the bunny and its eggs are obviously adored by many people, you see more bunny and eggs decorations than crossy portrayals of violence – Pabuca’s topic is “religion”.

Religious indoctrination from a young age – popular with church leaders since it would be bad for the number of their sheep if children were not taught absurdities as self-evident and true, but would learn to really think for themselves…

And if a different variation of absurdities “spreads” – that is if one mosque (this one here currently under construction) “squeezes” itself “along” with the many christian churches to the edge of town –, that of course means the downfall of the occident to some…

(purely black-and-white version)

At any rate, churches around here are usually older than mosques – centuries may pass before some inscriptions are made, and that’s already centuries in the past:
