As you can see the handrails on these pipelines crossing one of the mayor canals in Berlin only extend half to its length.
Some people might think this is due to a certain wizard (Gandalf from Tolkien´s “Lord of the Rings”) feeling the need to say in a booming voice: “You shall not pass!” 😉
Wish you all a beautiful sunday!
And a Happy Mother´s Day to those of you who are one 😉 !!!
your humor is great – and such a an artsy angle….

Love the sepia tone you added to the photo. I do that to some really old ones I have.

Thank you so much, Cathy!
I´m a big fan of sepia, I love the old pictures way back from the 1850s- 🙂
Did you upload some of your pictures perhaps? I´d love to see them! 🙂

No, I haven’t…they’re old family photos for the most part.

It is a very interesting photograph. Some bugs or a lizard might find the pipeline handy 😉

Thank you so much, Inese! 😀
I´m sure they would find it handy indeed 🙂 When I was there a duck landed right on top of it, but flew away before I could take a shot…guess she/he was a bit shy of cameras 😉 Or noticed the mighty wizard´s presence still around 😉

Hmmmm…I think more likely a bureaucratic blunder (ran out of funds at the halfway point), but the wizard story is better. I like this in sepia and with the leading lines of the fence and far side of the canal coming in from the bottom left corner. Very nice! Cheers!

Thank you very much, Chris!! I´m so glad you like it! 😀
Hehe! Yeah, running out of funds sounds very much like Berlin 😉 You know, we´ve got an airport in the south of the city and they are building it for nearly 10 years or so now! It´s like this: they build a bit, notice something is wrong, stop working, try to get new money to make it undone and then do it all over again! It´s a never-ending story. A helping hand from a wizard might come in handy there, too, I imagine 😉
Cheers!

Well, waiting until you have more funds sounds very wide. In the US, they just keep spending. 😜. Cheers!

Haha! Well, that´s maybe even wiser 😉 (from the point of view of the one spending it anyway 😉 ) Cheers!

I think they do not want people on the other side to get on the pipe.
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

That´ll probably the reason why – though I do like to think of Gandalf standing there 😉
Have a Happy Mother´s Day, too!!! 😀 xoxo
