Baboons in Early Morninglight

Cautiously a small troop of Baboons approach the river Runde for an early morning drink.

rushing the Season

Well, I was a bit hasty announcing the coming of Fall. 
Temperatures climbed to 32 C yesterday and the same is promised for today.
So, Summer is back for a little while.

Here are some pictures, just to pass the time of day.

Early Autumn !

Sundown Reflection

Autumn is on its way

Since Summer is slowly telling us "Good By" and "...see ya next year," I thought another shot of some beautiful flowers from our garden would not hurt.

Before the Big Festival

Since 1393, that is 624 years ago, the town of Bleiburg has been celebrating its economic health with the annual "Festival on the Meadow"  (Wiesenmarkt.)
It was then, that the ruling Monarch gave his permission for the town to have this party on "his" meadow. 
If my math is correct, this first festival took place fully 99 years before the discovery of America in 1492.
Two weeks prior to the commencement of the Wiesenmarkt, the so-called "Freyung" is prominently displayed on the Main Square and the town's dignitaries come to have a glass of "Met" (honey-wine)
as produced for this special occasion by Bleiburg's Sugarbaker, Mr. Gottfried Stöckl.

Cheers !

Gottfried Stöckl.

Proud Sugarbaker and Producer of 

the best Met (Honey-wine) in the country.
