Beton

Beton (word source is French) is the word for concrete (of French/Latin origin) in German. In the background is a WWII era bunker, in the foreground a house from the 2000s. Please, no rude comments about modern architecture. A recent study (link to Detail magazine here) in Germany found that almost 70% of respondents didn't care much for modern architeture.

I've written about the house a couple of times before. I'm curious to see whether this "LinkWithin" widget will find them. Another site note: I think I'm going to do B+W treatments for my Sunday posts. We shall see how far I get with this.

Blue sky over Villigen

It's a gorgeous day today after many foggy (typical for this area), rainy (should probably be snow but it has been too warm) ones and I'm celebrating that fact in this post. Here is a view from our balcony where you can see Besserstein and Geissberg (which, to the best that I can determine at this time, is the name for the chain of hills) and the vineyards on the slope. Where the trees end at the top left half of the photo, you might be able to make out a small squarish object. That's a bunker, a remnant from WW II.
