Für Party ohne Patriotismus

I came across this sticker drawing on pop cultural references while waking home: Quoting Major Strasser’s question “What is your nationality?” and Rick’s answer “I am a drunkard.” from the movie Casablanca the sticker adds “For party without patriotism!” Taken with my X100t.

Japanese Cherry blossom

We took the first bike trip of the year to Schwetzingen to see the Japanese Cherry (Prunus serrulata) blossom (the castle’s website has series of pictures with the blossoms: www.schloss-schwetzingen.de/besucherinformation/besuchserlebnis/bluehbarometer). Taken with my x100t.
