I am still not used to seeing the old and the new together, like in this photograph of a modern car parked in front of an old wall. If I had been here a while I might not have even noticed it.

I’ve always like that shade of yellow and brown together. It always looks best on old walls or stucco.
Those colors do look good together. This wall is at the rear of the building. This company is still in business and employees were unloading equipment a few minutes before I took the picture. If your German is rusty, “Farbenhaus Kehl” is a business selling the best quality paints and stains. Looks like they’ve been in business a while . . .
I can make out much of the German most of the time, but I cannot do paragraphs. When that happens I use Google Translate. It does a very good job with Spanish to English and getting better at German to English, but I think different dialect and syntax fool it. Either way, it translates well enough for me to understand what is written.
