I will sure stump co-workers with a few next year. I am going to handpick them, and use them for impact. LOL. Thanks again!

If compound nouns get long and hard to read, one can also put hyphens between them. "Wald-Spaziergang" would also be valid. But, I usually prefer the version without the dashes, especially if only two nouns are involved. Unfortunately, a looot of people neither use a dash nor write them together, but they place a space in between instead, just like lots of other languages, English included, do. But that's wrong, it's called a "Deppenleerzeichen" (funnily also a compound noun), literally a "fool's space".
There are a few cases where a space completely changes the meaning. My most favorite one is a advertisement for a mobile phone contract saying "Ohne Grund Gebühr". That means "Charge for no reason". What they meant instead was "Ohne Grundgebühr", "Without basic fee". :-D
Unfortunately, I do not know of any lists explaining German compound nouns, but let's see what I can dig up. :-)
I was also a bit surprised and even had to crop 73, there was even more black around. :-) I uploaded the original for better wallpaper experience (it probably only shows how crappy the details really are).

Kind of a tangent, but slightly related... do German words like "Waldspaziergang" have a name? You know, the "all-encompassing words that mean a lot" kind of words. Do you know of any site that has a comprehensive list of them? I would love to use them as richly as I can on my communication at work! :-)

I’ve always loved this bass line. 😍 (I should have realized earlier in my life that that’s my favorite instrument. The signs were all there. 😅)
