Change of season


I love the wander through cemeteries at any time of year, but it feels especially poignant in the autumn. I love the way this grave was graced by one fallen leaf. 

I was in Munich recently and did a few walking tours. On one of the tours, I met a Canadian lady from Ontario. She is a history teacher and usually comes to Germany with her school groups, but this time she was on her own. We got to talking and it turns out she lives not far from where my husband used to work in Toronto. When the tour was over, she gave me a lucky loonie. I feel bad, because I don't even know her name, but I am sure this loonie has already brought me some luck as I have a phone interview for a promising job tomorrow. Keep fingers and toes crossed for me. And don't forget to take a look at Halcyon Travels for pictures from my recent trip to Israel.

    It is not that often I do it.....
    I liked the name Erwin, perhaps I see some unusual names around the place I will visit here in Stavanger.

  4. A loonie is a Canadian $1 coin. So named because it has a loon on it. You can't spend your lucky loonie though. But I'll have to pass one on to someone else the next time I'm out and about. ;-)

  5. A very nice photo, Hal! I was wondering about the loonie, too, but I see you've answered the question. Best wishes for tomorrow! I hope you get the job.

  11. I agree, the fallen leaves really give cemeteries a wonderfully different atmosphere.
