Schwab's Stone on the Palmtree / Schwabs Stein auf der Palme

Actually he was just the publisher, not the author in that case... and the stone was not lifted, it's still by the base. / Eigentlich wer der da ja nur Herausgeber, nicht der Dichter... und den Stein hat es auch nicht angehoben, er ist nur gleich neben den Fuss.


Stark ist als zarte Pflanze schon die Palme;
Um ihre jugendliche Kraft zu proben,
Ward einst ein Marmorstein auf sie geschoben,
Und alle dachten, dass er sie zermalme....
(Eduard von Schenk)

My first thought with this shot was "palm trees in GER?!?" Nice capture!

Oh yes. In my area they can survive outdoors as long they got the critical mass -- that means the young seedling must live indoors in winter and until the tree gets really sizable and mature, it needs winter insulation and a bit of luck, but we got quite a few palm trees on lake level.
