Out of ...

... Africa? Not really, but at least out of the usual pattern.

Picture taken in Büsingen am Hochrhein (Buesingen on the High Rhine). The only German village entirely surrounded by the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen. In a state treaty some specialties are regulated:
- Büsingen belongs to Germany, but it is not part of the European Union. It is considered as Swiss customs territory
- The vllage has two postal codes: 8238 Büsingen (Switzerland) and 78266 (Germany)
- Letters from Büsingen may be franked with a Swiss or German stamp
- people mostly pay in Swiss Francs
- the number of Swiss policemen is limited to 10 at the same time, the number of German police officers to three per 100 inhabitants
- and many more ...


In the extra: some early morning shots in our garden, with the first sunlight.
