What is it & Where were these photographs taken?
Nov 8, 2012 12:24:56 #
Hi all,
as I took the photo's I know where they all come from all you have to do is post what it is & where you think they come from.
Why just because you can or just look at the pictures.
Answers in English & in the same format as below please.
No 1 is What it is, from what Country & what Town (if you know it).
No 2 is What it is, from what Country & what Town (if you know it).
No 5 Please put What they are & from what country?
etc etc
I will post 3 then 3 more, a total of 6 photo's. I will post the answers on Sunday & also let you know who got them all correct with the correct spelling.

#5 = Räuchermänner, or Räuchermännchen (the diminuitive), or smokers or smoking men in English. They are wooden figures, hollowed out; you take them apart in the middle and put an incense cone in. Light the cone; gently blow on it to extinguish the flame to just a glow, then put the figure back together. There is a hole where the mouth of the figure is and smoke comes out of it.
They are from the eastern part of Germany: Thuringia and Saxony.
