Geese on a meadow in Oberursel near Frankfurt, Oct.5. St. Martin’s day on 11th November is the day when Martin of Tours is remembered, a saint of the Catholic Church. Eating a St. Martin’s goose dinner is a widely spread tradition in Germany. Thus it is quite unlikely that the geese in this picture will survive the next week.

Canoeing on the Lahn

Three people in a canoe on Lahn river near Weilburg, some 65 kms (40 mls) north of Frankfurt, Aug.25. According to a local tourism board ‘a canoe trip on the Lahn River is one of the most relaxing ways to enjoy the Mittelhessen [the central part of the federal state of Hesse] countryside’ which is probably true.
