River running through town.Photos from our visit Schwäbisch Hall six weeks ago. It’s also proof that we can take pictures at noon an when it’s 35°C.I have never been a person who is fond of sightseeing. Having grown up in a tourist-town I am never comfortable when I feel like I am a tourist somewhere. It doesn’t go away completely, but when I go there with the purpose to create art, I feel a lot less awkward.When Mornienna and I visited Schwäbisch Hall, it had been very hot for weeks and the river was not very high in water. Kids were playing on the riverbank, but we managed to get the space for ourselves for am bit after they left.
I love tweaking my ingredients from day to day depending on what the dough feels like. Today, I used less flour and splashed some extra water in while I was mixing. After rising for 8 hours inside, this delicious snack is all mine!
Little turquoise tiger friend bids you a good evening
