Of course you recognise this.

 

I'm sure that most of my followers are experts on Medieval German Churches, and that's handy...as the slide had no info on it.

But, obviously, this is The Holy Ghost Church, in Heidelberg. 

Bonus - The future of packaging - Automated Custom Cardboard Boxes

Out Standing In His Field

 

Leaving aside the dreadful pun, this is actually quite an interesting slide. 

Obviously, no info on the slide - not even a date for it, so it's fun to look for clues.  The colour slide, suit, bow tie and two-tone shoes make me think 1940s or 50s, but the vehicle doesn't look particularly oversize like most American cars.  

In fact, it looks very much like a  Ford Popular. That model was produced by Ford UK, and the fact that it has a steering wheel on the right, and an AA badge seems to confirm that We're Not In Kansas.

The scenery and the field of....crops doesn't help much.

More interesting is the car number plate - " B-4570 US Forces in Germany."

Also interesting - 

Taxi !!

 

Looks like somewhere in Germany, so maybe I should shout the German word for taxi, which is...

   . TAXI !!

Bonus - One in Three Biden Supporters Think Trump Shooting Might Have Been Staged.   ( Sigh... :-(  )

Hohe Domkirche St. Petrus Kölner Dom

 

Even without some writing on the slide, it would not be hard to name this location.

Cologne Cathedral ... an absolutely stunning construction, which survived WW2 thanks to it's use as a obvious landmark for navigating bombers. Allegedly.

Bonus - In memory of the recently deceased Burt Bacharach, here are Love, performing My Little Red Book.

Mandy and Keith On Holiday

 

Mandy Fothergill (46, Former Undertaker's Hole-Plugger and Part-Time Topless Barmaid) and Keith Fothergill (55, Apprentice Florist) enjoy a moment on the veranda, while on their romantic tour of Schleswig Holstein.

The book at the front - Der Grosse Shell Atlas - was a gift from the local chip shop. Apparently. 

Bonus - Tim Brooke Taylor, John Cleese, Marty Feldman, Graham Chapman desperately attempt to avoid corpsing completely.

Not the Nun's Exercise Yard at the St Blodwynn's Cathedral

 

It seems that I have been wrongly informed. This is not the secret Not the Nun's Exercise Yard at the St Blodwynn's Cathedral atop Snowdon.

It is, in fact, the Brunnenhof (Fountain Courtyard), one of the ten courtyards at Munich Residenz, the former royal palace of the Wittelsbach monarchs of Bavaria.

Albeit, with the famous fountains boarded over due to an outbreak of the Lurghi.

Bonus - View from Kalsoy island, Faroe Islands 

Dying Gladiator

The slide was labelled as "Dying Gladiator Kahl of Potsdam"

But that's not turning up any hits.

So, your guess is as good as mine.

Bonus - Today's Word Of The Day - Immurement

Bonus 2 -

Look ! It's a .... Tram !

A stereo-typically dull slide.


And yet...there's a nugget of interest.  I thought I could identify the city involved via the unusual shop name of Rapetth.

Google doesn't really recognize that word.  How curious.

Bonus - How dangerous is stoned driving?

Bonus 2 - The gift that keeps on giving...

Bonus - Wow.

Bonus 2 - The Garter Toss: Vintage Photographs of a Wedding Tradition

Where In The World?

Nope.

It's Germany.


Every year, the village of Ausberg come together to redecorate teh whole village for "Hawaii Week".

It started during the austere post-war years as a one-off event, when the factory workers had a week's holiday, but insufficient funds to travel anywhere.   So, some creative use of wheat stalks and....shazam... Honolulu Germany. No, it's a major community event, bringing in tourists from miles around.

More Info

Bonus - It was twenty years ago today

Bonus 2 - In Spanish-speaking countries, the tooth fairy is a mouse (Ratoncito Pérez). This is someone's dentist office.

Pretty close, uh?

Bonus - Farewell Van Vader.

How Infuriati .... A-Ha!!

I was just about to post a whinge about finding a quaint little  building on a slide, and how infuriating it was that I couldn't find out where it was in real life....when

POW !

The Squirrels who live in my brain whispered some secret squirrel info, and I was led to this picture.

But, they could be German.

Bonus - Girl on a Motorbike -vs- Litter

An incident at the Deutsche Bank

I could be wrong, but I suspect that this is Frankfurt am Main, in Germany.
