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.
Fingers and toes crossed, good luck... and don't forget to take your lucky loonie along too ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt is a great time of year to visit them which reminds me I need ti visit a local one to look for a grave
ReplyDeleteIndeed a touching image.
ReplyDeleteYou reminded me of doing it...... so THANKS.
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
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. ;-)
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I really like how the light from the trees graces it as well! :) Sending you a warm hug and keeping you in my thoughts, dear Hal!
ReplyDeleteI'm sending good vibes your way! Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. And good luck!
ReplyDeleteA pretty image. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet thing to do!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have lucky loonies in this country but we do have Tim Horton's in STL now. I'll go by for a coffee tomorrow and make a wish for you.
ReplyDeleteAhhh! A good luck loonie! Nothing better! Sending good vibes. And be sure to keep that loonie in your pocket!
ReplyDeleteMy fingers are crossed for you. Hope the lucky loonie does its magic!
ReplyDeleteI agree, the fallen leaves really give cemeteries a wonderfully different atmosphere.
