Weekly Photo Challenge : Juxtaposition

During our short stay in Dresden, it was not possible to capture Martin Luther’s statue against the beautifully restored Frauenkirche, without the interference of this performance stage.Luther and Fraunkirche

I had trouble deciding which exhibit to use for this challenge, so I have entered with all three!

Weekly Photo Challenge : Family

Today we discovered we have an extended family, about which we were previously unaware!  My wife wondered why our unused old watering can was rather heavy! It seems a possum has decided to make a home here rather than in the local bush.

UPDATE – 21st January – With no trail of destruction, our possum has moved on. He/she must have found more suitable accommodation. As long as it isn’t in our roof, we can be quite relaxed.

Footnote : Although they create a nuisance in the garden with their passion for roses, possums are a protected species in New South Wales. You can read more about this nocturnal species here. We will not disturb this one as long as it wants to make its home here.
