A Few More Sindelfingen Images

I liked the color of this building - I would call it chiaroscuro pink.

There are two ponds in Sindelfingen and, based on some fire-department activity we observed yesterday, the local fire department appears to maintain its fire-boat fleet on a 1/1 basis. This was one of the two boats they brought down to the ponds yesterday.

After we watched them using one of the boats and some unusual tools to break through the ice for 15 minutes or so, we determined (and later confirmed through conversations with others gathered) that they were fishing a set of discarded jewelry out of the ice on top of pond. No word yet on why bunches of schmuck had been cast into the lake.
