This 'aircraft perspective' high above the clouds…
... fascinates again and again and invites…
... to stay …
... in anticipation of the evening glass of wine that is cultivated here.

... which changes the panorama every second…
... until the red tones…
... be replaced by the darkness of the night.

... a gnome…
...or a troll would see around the corner.
