Sending a Lexicon out in search of meaning (3). Some Object Lessons...


 Today we start outside the Department of Justice...

 Across the bridge...
 Across the road(!)...



 Until we encounter some sites of concentrated meaning! Will the lexicon be able to cope?

 Hidden in the long grass at the foot of a heavy duty meaning-generator!


 Meaning can be found in the bushes too!
 Back to modern civilization and Burglsteinstrasse heading eastwards once more...









 It was evening by now and your excursioneer stops at a local supermarket for supplies. Shop opening hours are strictly observed in these parts...
 Now here is a test for our lexicon - a concentrated meaning kiosk! Let us see what happens...

well just fancy that! Our lexicon is positively vibrating from the other competing lexica and intensity of meaning!

 Shortly afterwards we arrive at the suburban railway station of Salzburg Parsch. The evening is now drawing in and the camera battery is all but exhausted. But today's walk was a most instructive one!


Sending a Lexicon out in search of meaning (2)

Setting out once again, this time Northwards along the river. We will try to find the city limits!


 Hidden in the grasses, soaking up meaning from the soil and the surrounding vegetation...













 Inserted into the sealant of the concrete, loaded with significance...


As we progress upriver to the flood barriers...









 Inserted into the jumbled meaning of the adverts...

 one for the team!



 sometimes meaning arrives by stealth, hidden in the long grass...









 By now your excursioneer had been walking for almost two hours in the hot afternoon sun! There was no sign to indicate the end of Salzburg, but this mysterious green tower by the water works seemed to offer a good end point.
