Icking Ski Jump 

Had this been 70 years ago instead of just 60 then my opinion of the construction would have been so different. As it is, I like the optimism it proves was once prevalent in the area!

A good idea for a Sunday walk! :-D

Now I think of it, it may already have been in use in the Thirties... I believe it was. Now what’s your opinion of the construction? (Luckily, not all Ickinger were bad people: even the mayor used to warn hidden Jews when the Gestapo were on their trail.)

I was walking around especially to feed the Icking Group on Flickr which I had neglected for too long...

Well the steps look as though they are concrete and that, sadly, reminds me of that particular stark and harsh period :-( However, of course I realise the majority of people were decent and peaceful. Just a result of so much imagery over a lifetime. I suppose in a way I am (we are!) luckier than our youngsters who have never quite felt the same "proximity" to WWII as I/we do...

In fact I am very fond of the 1930's in general - in between those two major horrors. I have no answers - just images... I am so inadequate! :-))

very good reason :-)

Yes, it is, isn’t it? As you know, I’m very unpractical, and I don’t care whether things are being used or not (provided they’re interesting).
