What fantastic weather this weekend. Yesterday azure blue 🔵 and sunshine 🌞; today royal blue 🫅 and sunshine 🌞 or whatever the beautiful shades of blue are called 🤷‍♀️. A bit of history-laden hike in Thuringia and Bavaria...
Someone put a lot of effort into the wooden figures along the path years ago.
