Black Forest Ramble – III
Monday I gave you a taste of the paths around the Black Forest village of St. Ulrich. Today we walk the same paths, but with a much different view. On a hot day it is nice to be in the shade of the forest trees. But what makes the walk spectacular is the view when […]
Black Forest Ramble – II
Today I am featuring pictures taken Saturday afternoon during our walk through the Black Forest above St. Ulrich. My problem is deciding which ones to share today. The advantage to digital photography is that you can take hundreds of pictures with no regards to cost. That may be a disadvantage also – you don’t need […]
Black Forest Ramble – I
It was a beautiful Saturday, so I took the afternoon off work. It has been a while – it seems Saturdays there is always something that comes up that requires sitting at the computer or going out and doing something for someone. My wife said she had heard of a nice walk in the Black […]
The Church Crawl – II
Today just a few photos left over from yesterday’s post about Thursday’s event. I think my favorite is the people walking through the vineyard single file. By that point I had separated from the group.
The Church Crawl
When the group leader turned left at Sulzburg City Hall I knew it would be a longer than necessary walk. To get to St. Ilgen a right turn was required, at least if you wanted a direct route. Marching through the forest meant that my wife, who took the vineyard route, managed to be waiting […]
Another Day, Another Holiday
In Canada when there is a holiday approaching everyone knows it. Every store has a sign in the front door giving their holiday hours. Whether it is closing early Christmas eve, or just for the morning on November 11 to commemorate Remembrance Day, they want their customers to be informed well in advance, so they […]
Dining Etiquette
Apparently I was wrong yesterday – today’s post isn’t longer. I do admire people with a sense of humour though. If I had seen this sign I would have thought it was a warning that knives, forks and cups were not permitted. I guess that means you would have to eat with your hands, but […]
Is it Tuesday already?
Does it ever seem like there aren’t enough minutes in an hour to get everything done? Or days in the week? Or computers that cooperate? I promise (or at least I am hoping) to post something longer for tomorrow, but until then some humour to brighten your day. At least, I thought it was funny, […]
The Family Photo
This portrait is in the municipal museum in Lippstadt, Germany. I keep meaning to share some of their collection with you and then get distracted and it doesn’t happen. Last night though I was going through some old photos and came across this one of one of my wife’s ancestors. Back in the 18th century […]
View From The Top
I realized yesterday when I republished my post on The Atomium that I hadn’t shown the view from inside the structure. I remember in 2014 thinking I should do that, and thinking also it didn’t make much sense because I didn’t know what any of the buildings in the pictures were. That’s because I rarely […]
