Challenge 329: The wurst is yet to come
I know what you're thinking - he went all the way to Austria, and all he brought back was a photograph of the back end of a car park? Well, the truth is (a) I'm still here, (b) I've been too busy to go out during the day, and (c) it's been snowing so hard that going anywhere isn't easy. So the standard tourist shots may have to wait. Anyway, this is the scene behind the studio in which I've been working. Now my school German may be coming back to me, but I can't even begin to figure out what the signs mean - anyone care to offer a translation? Nothing literal, please. Also, the top sign could really do with some visual clue to help explain all that text beneath it. And that wall is just crying out for a mural. Auf wiedersehen! High res is here.  |

Steve, The first sign: Access to this road is limited. Only for people who work here (Niesenbergergasse 20 ...) and their visitors. The second sign: Vehicles parked against the regulations are liable to be towed away at the owner's expense! I really miss the snow (here in Japan). I envy you!

You are more than welcome Nick … I am in the airport waiting for my plane to Thailand … I hope that I will have some time for working on this week’s challenge anyway … Maybe while I am lying on the beach with a Piña Colada …

Hello everyone, Great translation Daniel, being a Dutchman I would have helped Steve aswell no need for that now! We learn English, German and French on school. Why? for things like this I think! Here is my attempt. Have a nice weekend, of to Wales next week celebrating my 30th wedding anniversary! Greetings Gerard  |

Re: Challenge 329: The wurst is yet to come
Hilarious entries so far! Actually I think the sign read 'cars must be dumped one at a time. Preference given to those living in Niesenbergerstrasse, ...' There' s a mural on the wall, I swear, but sadly it's covered by the cars.  |

Re: Challenge 329: The wurst is yet to come
Sorry to use up more space but looking at my post over the w/e I realised I had rushed some of it and wasn't happy. I decided to be a pedant today, correct things and repost. That is not to say Steve or anyone else won't see things I haven't but if you do and let me know, I won't repost. Ted
