Flying over the Alps.
I love my window seat. Always.
I would say that here in the middle we see Mont Blanc.
Mont Blanc, meaning "white mountain") is the highest mountain in the Alps and
Western Europe, rising 4,808 m (15,774 ft) above sea level.
It kind of matches the route.
Some pilots are helpful and explain the scenery,
today unfortunately not.
Back to Frankfurt a pile of Christmas cards were waiting for us.
Yes, it is really nice to get some cards.
I like the stamps, too. Imagine, in 20 years from now
the kids probably do not know what a stamp was.
So, I am going to give up my card writing,
definitely donating the money spent on lousy postal services to charity.
Last xmas most of my cards needed 4-5 weeks (!) to arrive.
This ghostbike is in our street.
Ghost Bikes (auch: Mahnrad, Geisterrad) sind weiße Fahrräder, die als Mahnmale
für im Straßenverkehr tödlich verunglückte Radfahrer am Unglücksort aufgestellt
werden. Neben der Funktion als Gedenkstätte sollen sie auch
auf mögliche Gefahrenpunkte hinweisen.
So many flowers and candles.
In November a terrible accident took place, a SUV hit three people on the
walk way, one on a bike and two pedestrians, two died at the spot.
The Ghostbikes Frankfurt are set up by Frankfurt cyclists in private initiative.
ADFC Frankfurt and Radentscheid Frankfurt are supporting it.
