From yesterday’s walk in our neighbourhood.
The German word ‘Angst’ means the same as the English. 
This is actually the sign of a company, Schlüssel-ANGST AG (‘Schlüssel’ means ‘key’, so you could interpret the name as ‘key-worry’, ‘key-anxiety’; here, Angst is probably the surname of the owner or founder). Because of the word ANGST, I went for a gritty, high-contrast B&W, didn’t even bother with noise reduction.
If the situation ever allows it, this might make an interesting shot with the sign in sunlight but the building in shadow.
The building faces northwest. During most of the day, the whole wall, but also the sign, is in shadow. One option would be near noon, with the sun being high. I’m not sure I can solve it.
Then again, having the word ANGST in deep shadow by itself might be more emotionally appropriate! 
FYI – I jsaw some more trees like this yesterday in another location and later tried the Google Lens app to find an identifying photo. It did – The tree is a hackberry (celtis occidentalis). This photo on Flickr (not mine) looks exactly like what we have locally. I’ve heard of hackberry trees, but wasn’t aware of their appearance. In fact there’s a small town in Louisiana named Hackberry.
My folks knew a shrimper who lived in Hackberry. He’d call when he arrived with a good catch, and my folks would hop in the truck to go get some. Fresh off the boat…
Got a red-level alert for northern lights this evening so headed up nearby Calton Hill but a bit too cloudy unfortunately so made do with a few snaps of the last of the distant sunset. Got back home to a message from another local photographer who unbeknownst to me was also wondering around up there in the murk. I wish the Balmoral Hotel didn’t have that blue illumination.
I like it that you captured it with the pollen on the legs Very nice!
Angry bird
Well - I didn’t have any food for it. According to the leaflets - it is better to leave them fend for themselves. At the end - it is a wild bird - not a domesticated bird.
In a gray day with not much sun, a bird (that does not like me to go near) and the branches (same color as the bird) I resorted to boosting color and contrast. Not sure where the naturally observed scene ends and the liberty of expression begins. Either way - if I wanted it to make the expression for the picture - it wouldn’t so I took it as is - no complains.
