Mural taken on my way home at the "Market Hall" which is a parking lot where you have to pay now. Make "now" since 10+ years, it was for free when I moved here in 2001. Gosh. Time runs!!!
We live 20 minutes on foot from the city and even next street now you have to pay for parking (other you´re a resident) - what a shame. Go to Hanover for shopping, peeps!
And Ukraine... Russia.. all the threads towards Europe. To freedom, how can one man.. well... history repeats itself.
I work with Austrians, all nice people!!! Yet I want to stress - as I was confirmed by my Austrian female customer....
... many do not know Hit#er was Austrian, not German. Some dumbhead in this very town gave him German citizenship and hence he could start this dumb, horrible war from Germany.
In Perth I was accused - by a history-teacher (!!!) - of being responsible of Holocaust - I gave him some lesson - he stayed, but kept silent the rest of the evening.
My paternal Grandparents hid Jewish families, just saying. My Father´s Father did not even join war as he was the only watchmaker in town.
What a dove can make with somebody´s heart and soul, huh? Let us hope for peace soon!
This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.
"Highway to Hell: Spooky Stories from Route 66
Oak Hill Cemetery, Galena, Kansas
The Kansas section of Route 66 is only 13 miles (21 km) long, but within this short stretch lies the tiny town of Galena, where countless ghost stories are said to have taken place.
In the back of the cemetery (not pictured) are buried not only alleged witches whose spirits occasionally light up the night, but also a woman buried by an unfeeling husband, whose tombstone cracked with every repair. This eventually frightened the husband so much that he left town."
The countdown to Creep:

Yes. Let us hope so indeed!
I'm laughing at the woman who scared her husband even from the grave!
I wish for peace every single day.
Peace! Love and light!
Yes, how about today...
Some women are not to be played with ;-) And yes, every single day...
It needs to be!
Peace - very much needed all over the world! But even the last ceasefire was short lived 😞
Don't understand why anyone nowadays would accused a German of being responsible for the wars/holocaust...you are living now, not then! Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.
Sami, that "teacher" was dumb... When I was in France at a farmer´s family the Granddad had questions for me... if it was a pleasant trip, where we´re heading next - not a word about the darn war he participated in! I was 19 at the time and super-shy - these days I´d asked if I may give him a hug for this! I was SURE it was about WWII (he had a very strong accent, so his son had to translate to "normal" French).
...peace is fragile, handle it with care!
Peace yes, but an obituary would bring joy. 😉
Very well stated, Iris. There were many who couldn't leave but they didn't join in with the Nazis -- they resisted in ways large and small. We must all do that. Thanks for a splendid post. And onward, to peace. Please.
The person who accused you of being responsible for the Holocaust obviously didn't know what he was talking about. Can you accuse Germany of being responsible? I guess but we all know not everyone in Germany agreed with it. It'd be like accusing all Americans of loving Trump, which is far from true. I hope you're having a great start to the new week. hugs-Erika
So yes, Tom!
Well he is but in his early 70s - that can take a while...
Yes, large and small, every move counts! This has been going on too long and probably war will always be, somewhere - what a sad thought.
That dude was dumb and it felt so good to tell him off! A teacher for history, oh, boy! It was such a good start I worked over an hour longer! Yippee and hugs, hope yours was as great!
Peace feels like just a dream, Iris.
So Dig The Henry To Peace - Interesting Kansas Information There My Dear
Stay Fancy ,
Cheers
You are sadly right, RedPat!
To peace and creep, dear friend, a fancy cheers!
Dear friend Iris, 🧡 I wish for peace ✌️ 🙏 everywhere. Warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love to you 💖 💓
Dear friend Linda, to peace and love, hugs! 🧡
War is so stupid isn't it? i've been hoping all of them will end but I think that is just maybe wishful thinking. I have Jewish ancestry, my 4 times great grandfather was a Jew from Poland but I think no one should hurt another in this day and age, it's sad.
I so agree with you - it is sad and really, why. Brave up and stand face to face! I guess the little Russian dude would chicken out... Cause Selenskiy seems to have "balls"!
Good mural
I pray for peace every day.
All the best Jan
I so loved reading your post today. Shame on the teacher and good for you standing your ground and giving the truth. The things happening in my country now sickens me to my core. The similarities are astounding. On a better note I love the Don't bite your tongue. LOL
Never been to Kansa
Let there be more doves!
We need so much more peace! Nice find, Iris. :)
