Beam Me Up, S.

"Summer", harvest-time, oh, these thingies drive around always. They are supposed to have flashing orange lights on top so you see them. 
See that?
It is because:
 

 24,8 mph - they are SLOW.
And I agree, this is no mural but a sign and it is not Wednesday but Monday.
 
And it was not me (I don´t have a car anymore, gave my company car to colleagues in 2018) - Ingo took this pic on his way home from work in Salzgitter. Because our Monday host infected him.
 
 
I´m kinda done with bus, though, especially because... Flixbus. One hour late without giving a reason, soaked all 5 hours due to heavy rain and Flixtrain was not better and still no answer on me asking if that darn train was broken.
 
What to do come November and I have to go to Dortmund again - DB??? Might  be there, might as well not.
 
 Henry 🦁
 
 
Yes, Henry, I´ll remember that....

Dear Iris, I can't stand those big trucks. Your Henry painting is gorgeous. Have a great day, dear friend 🧡 Warm hugs 🫂 🤗

Harvesters do travel slow, can you imagine one careening around a corner at 60 and tipping over? What a mess that would be. I like the aliens waiting for a bus, but it won't take them to their home planet.

We call it a tractor, no pleasure it is!
Henry was from an "Einstein"-calendar, I admit!!!! Not my work!
To a great day, dear Linda 🧡

I had one singing turning left. Stayed behind. He turned right. Next village I stopped and called 110 (police) - this is dangerous!!! Officer got no clue-hope no one was injured...
I have ALF right here, btw and Lola is safe....

Tom said...

...garbage trucks are hard to see around as they make their collections here too! Be safe.

Iris Flavia said...

We have trailers laden with sugarcane without lights on the highways trundling along. Frustratingly dangerous.

I wish that Scotty could beam us around. Instant travel!

I always smile when I see the tractors bringing home the harvest - harvest time, happy days, fresh bread. I remember most sugar beets from Salzgitter, but here the grains are driven past us all the time, as we live on the road leading from the fields to the granaries. I smile and mostly wave each time.
And that busstop gives me ... homesickness you can't call it, but longing for that time I lived there. Not in Drütte, we lived in Osterlinde, but the bus stops looked the same.
How long time ago did you snap this photo.

Charlotte (MotherOwl) said...

... not you, Ingo.

Beam Me Up For Sure

Happy Monday ,
Cheers

DVArtist said...

That is slow driving for sure. It seems the bus is never dependable.

Bill said...

Buses here are usually on time unless there is a problem on the route.

Iris Flavia said...

You missed nothing!!! ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Yes to that! Dangerous. And ow. That smell, I remember that, too!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, yes, yes, I´d pop in (on asking first) with a pizza to say hello!

Iris Flavia said...

I remember those beets from Baddeckenstedt, maybe we speak of the same?
Ingo took the pic but last week! When did you live "here"?

Iris Flavia said...

I´d join! Cheers!! To a happy... hoppala. Tuesday!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes to both and a big "ACK!"

Iris Flavia said...

I can admit I have no idea of busses in Braunschweig, but Flixbus is .... a "oh no!"

Iris Flavia said...

Can you invent one? That would be sooooo good!

Iris Flavia said...

Henry is safe on his paws on Burgplatz (as in his castle). I hope today is better, but my study is so.... "ACK!" Hope yours is better, hugs

We (whole family) lived in Osterlinde 2003-2004, Baddeckenstedt was our nearest train station, just across the "mountains" ;)
One of our great fun while having guests from Denmark was to take a walk in the woods above Ostelinde, and then tell people: Now you're higher up than you can ever go in Denmark. The highest point in Denmark is around 170 m. ;) Lichtenberge is almost double that.
