Betonmittag, schwüler Sonntag in Gewitterdunst. Unter dem Dach der Tankstelle stinkt der Moment nach Diesel und Dreck. Eine mittelalte Frau räumt Abfall aus dem glänzenden übergroßen Fahrzeug in die Mülltonne. Der Mann steht an der Zapfsäule, sieht die Zahlen vorbeirasen, schimpft auf den Staat und weist an, dass noch die Flüssigkeit für den Scheibenwischer nachzufüllen sei. Ein weißer Schmetterling sucht den Weg zurück in die Wiese. Dahinter liegen Wald, Autobahn, Stadt. Man findet wieder seinen Weg.

@z428 Very Americana '60s imagery. Your Germany is interesting and "different".

@FailForward "Interesting" seems a good word for it.😁

@z428 Well, "interesting". Let's debate it a bit before we apply such a positively loaded label... Specifically this post of yours reminds me of stills like these below - I hope you recognise the movie. I wouldn't call that one "interesting" 😄 (I just committed a crime of stealing random images from the Internet... See what you made me do?! 😉 )

@FailForward 🙈 In my case, it was more that kind of "interesting" as in "may you live in interesting times". Somehow .... this scenery always feels lost, weird and ... still way too common to hope for better in parts of the society.

@z428 I see. Your impressions radiate quite some "bleakness". Maybe you just need to turn around and read more "society" a "lifestyle" sections of the daily/weekly newspapers. For instance stuff like this theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2 . See? World is not falling apart yet! 😄
