On the third day, a warm fog dropped down on Baden... It was beautiful and reminded me of that New England grey light that filled the reck-rooms of my childhood.
We went for a drive to pick up some parts at a scale model factory near by. Baden is near the border of France. Here is an image of the town and a peek at the boarder...
It's funny how the grey light slows down the eye on a scale model as well...
This field was a beautiful moment on our journey:
This is a blight that grows on trees here. They're called "missals" and are carried by birds. They sometimes produce white or red berries that the birds will eat and carry to other tries. It is an old tradition here to take a piece of one of these parasites and use them for decoration in the winter months. It is also tradition that if you are near one of these decorative sprigs with a loved one, you are supposed to kiss each other. They call these sprigs a "toes," which gives them the common name of "missal toe."
