Akira, are they what is named ume, the basic ingredient for, umeboshi, umesu etc

Fons, no, it is called "Kaki" in Japanese (Diospyros spp.).  Ume is Japanese apricot.

the Kaki we can buy here are bright orange. They taste similar to certain melons but their texture is not as soft, more kohlrabi like: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diospyros_kaki

The persimmons don't have any characteristic fragrance like apricot or even peach.

Their taste...it is difficult to describe...they are sweet basically, but some are quite bitter.  This afternoon I happened to watch a TV program showing how to debitter persimmons: they cover the buskets filled with persimons with the sheet of jute which is moist with alcohol.  Then the whole thing is sealed with a large plastic bag into which a package of dry ice is put.  According to the program, both the alcohol vapor and the carbon dioxide have the effect of debittering.   :o :o :o

There are two types, fuyu is the one shown in my photo. It is sweet and slightly crunchy - sort of of like a meaty apple. Hachiya is long and is very astringent until ripe. When it is ripe it is like jelly inside. They are often dried whole and are sweet and chewy.

David, thanks for the link.  Apparently the top part (sorry for my ignorance of the technical term.  It is called Helm in German) of both bell towers are completely missing.  Hope they will be restored well.

The structure is call a dome. Famous examples are the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore of Florence, Italy who's architect was Filippo Brunelleschi. That dome is egg shaped as a key design element allowing it to be as I believe the largest church dome or any dome of it's day. Another is the United States Capitol's dome in Washington, D.C.

DeSoto a division of Chrysler called the top of the combustion chamber and a car in '50s the DeSoto Firedome. The engine, a 292 cu. in. V8 was better known as the Chrysler Hemi. A 671 GMC roots blower sat on top. These engines were as sacred to some drag racers of the '60s as a church and as profane to others and a government capital building.   :D  :D  :D

Dave Hartman who is writing to Santa Claws and asking for a Dodge Ram Express 1500 with a 5.7L Hemi (dome) with a locking rear axle. The base 2-door short bed, style side is preferred.

I'm jealous of those with even a small amount of time for photography. At least I can come here and see some really beautiful photographs. Thank you to all who post.

It is called "Kuppel" in German and sometimes it is on top of a "Dom". "Helm" is the Soldier's or Builder's cap made of steel or hard plastic or Kevlar, sturdy materials to keep tje people safe.
