interesting fruits of that tree... what are they??

@adalove: This is a chestnut tree. First the "balls" are tiny and green, in time they darken to brown. When ripe the "balls" fall down and burst: chestnuts are inside.
Thanks for stopping by ;)

Nice shot. What kind of plant is that?

Igor L.Petroff from Odessa, Ukraine

Nice shot.
We have many trees like this in our town but it's imposible to make a shot - too high. :)
And children call the seeds "hedge-hogs".

@Igor L.Petroff: Igor, your are perfectly right... there was a small bridge nearby enabling me to take this shot. I am not that tall!
Thanks for visiting ;)

Danke für Deine Einladung zu dem Blog! Es ist komisch zu sehen wie Leute die gleiche Stadt besuchen können und so verschiedene Sachen fotografieren! Ich finde die "rusty" Serie am besten... Ich hatte auch ein paar mal versucht Ketten zu knipsen, hatte aber kein Glück...

A pro po... Wir waren in den letzten Tagen des Aprils und in der ersten Woche im Mai in Köln...

@juant3: Danke für dein Besuch!
Der Konzert (Roger Waters, ex-Pink Floyd) war am 16 April.
Wir waren dann da die gesamte Wochenende davor... eindeutlich haben wir uns doch nicht getroffen ;)
Ich hoffe ich habe nicht so viele Fehler, mein schriftliches Deutsch ist nicht so toll... sorry!
