Yesterday’s Post is Only A Day Late
(Time is running out. If you haven’t had a chance yet to answer my mini-survey about this blog, click here. It won’t take long, and your feedback will help me decide what I should be posting here.) My computer decided to cooperate for today. Mind you, I have forgotten what I planned to say yesterday, but […]
Don’t You Love Computers?
Today’s post is photo dependent – and for some reason the photos aren’t uploading to this site. So instead of some pictures of a picturesque town you’ve never heard of before, you instead get this mini-rant. How do I know you’ve never heard of the town? I’m just guessing – we discovered it be accident […]
Mesmerized
A photo essay for you today. These sculptures caught my eye outside the Mesmer Gallery in Riegel when we visited last July to see the Dali exhibition they had at the time. I figured you would like something colorful for this grey winter day. (If you haven’t had a chance yet to answer my mini-survey […]
Is The Soup Ready?
Pretty much everyone has a mobile phone these days, which means pretty much everyone is carrying a camera, often with video capabilities. That means you can record what you see for posterity if you are so inclined. YouTube is filled with millions of videos taken on cell phones by people who wanted to preserve the […]
The View From Here
I’m feeling a little frustrated today. I don’t think you can see what I see. There was a dusting of snow yesterday, and afterwards I could see from my kitchen window that the Black Forest looked beautiful in the sunshine. I wanted to take a picture, but I couldn’t get one without houses in the […]
The Other Wagen
You are probably familiar with Volkswagen, the peoples’ car that is possibly the best known of German automobiles. But do you know about Wohnwagen? Sure you do – you just didn’t know the German word for camping trailer. I didn’t either until my wife mentioned it as we passed one of the local campgrounds (Sulzburg […]
Train Confusion
When life gets busy my memory gets hazy, or so it seems sometimes. I remember writing this post. I thought I remembered posting it. But it turns out I didn’t, which may be a good thing: by now the statute of limitations on my crime has probably expired. And by the way, if you haven’t […]
Botantical Gardens
By the time we got to Freiburg on Saturday the snow had turned to a misty rain. It was a gray day but not unpleasant. We got damp, but not really wet. I had an umbrella with me, but never bothered to open it. We chose the #4 tram to wander the city, and hopped […]
Amputated?
My wife said “you have to take a picture of that.” I smiled and replied, “I already did.” Yesterday was a day to wander. We left Sulzburg with some gentle snowflakes falling and hopped a train to Freiburg. No plans, just enjoy the day. The snow turned to rain, more of a gentle mist really. […]
