Moments in Stuttgart

Sometimes Stuttgart does not feel like Stuttgart. This sunset, which awaited me Friday evening as I left the office, reminds me of something more typical of a tropical climate -- of something I would see when I was in Rio de Janeiro or in Kampala, Uganda. The range of colors in the sky and the shape of the tree have a lot to do with that. That tree, by the way, is an apple tree. Apple trees are surprisingly common in public spaces in Stuttgart. It's as if one urban planner first had the good idea--hey! let's plant something people can use--and then a whole bunch of other planners followed suit. Or something like that.

Just enjoy that sunset for a while ...
