I’m sorry that there was no Sunday porch yesterday; we were out touring Stuttgart with visitors.
In the early evening, we walked through the nearby small city of Esslingen am Neckar, and I spotted this sweet doorway arrangement with espaliered ivy.
Streifzug means ‘foray,’ ‘ brief survey,’ or ‘ramble.’

How I miss northern climates!
But we are in the south of Germany!
But I know what you mean, and Esslingen is such a pretty, quintessentially German town.
I love the green swags hanging from the gutters and the paving marking the edge of the street. Very inventive use of ivy.
That’s a grape vine (with grapes) along the gutter!
Love this!
It really is nicely done.
