Friday is Skyday

17:20, and already night.
But what a celestial spectacle!

Beers & Books (436) – Relations Courier 1705

1705. That's how far back
Germany's probably oldest still-existing daily newspaper can look.
And it sometimes reads like it. ;-)
Nevertheless, I'm happy and grateful I was given this copy some time ago.
Reading it reinforced my belief 
that war has probably always been the preferred method of those in power.

December blue

Friday is Skyday

Days are getting grey, nights frosty.
and "everywhere" harvested sugar beets ...

... are waiting to be transported to the factory.

After a first glance at the garden ...

at roses ...

and rain barrel I knew:

This Friday there was the first winter sky ...

 

... with white magic along the road

No, thanks!

 

Just no books!

Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that 
I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.
