Sommerkahl - Germany's egg-colouring plants are in full production mode in the weeks running up to Easter. However, spending some time in Sommerkahl shows that preparations have actually been going on much longer.
As Easter approaches, it's high season at the egg-colouring plant in Sommerkahl, a small south German town in Bavaria.
Nimble fingers work almost around the clock to sort the bright red, yellow, blue and green eggs, still warm, into the boxes prepared for them.
