Roman Park – III
There isn’t much left of the Roman villa that was once prominent in Heitersheim. It has been gone for about 1700 years, leaving only the foundations and cellar. Archaeologists though know a lot about Roman construction and have a fairly good idea what the house would have looked like in its heyday. Using that knowledge […]
Roman Park – II
A photographic essay today, a continuation from yesterday, more from the museum in Heitersheim’s Roman Park.
Roman Park – I
Last November I learned that there were Roman ruins in Heitersheim, a five-kilometre walk from our new home in Sulzburg. However, when I went to check them out I discovered they were closed for the winter. I almost missed them again this year. I had walked past on several occasions in spring and summer, but […]
Fall Color
The leaves on the trees haven’t started to change yet – and I’m not sure if southern Germany gets the vibrant colors that we are used to in Canada. Certainly last fall was underwhelming. However, the city of Sulzburg has a number of displays around the market square with a Fall theme. I guess I […]
View From The Hills
There are so many trails in the Sulzburg area that, in a year, I have by no means exhausted them all. This week I went walking on the ridge on what I think is the west side of the town. (One of these days I’m going to have to orient myself and figure out which […]
Today’s Thousand Words
Still feeling a little uninspired today, then I came across this photo I took in Naples almost a decade ago. Not sure what the context was, whether it was in a store or on the street. Probably the street, given that the pictures both before and after on the camera were street scenes. Back then, […]
No Post Today
The effects of jet lag have hit in full force. I’m certain anything I post would be unfunny, uninteresting and not even unusual. Therefore, rather than have you read something written while I was in a semi-incoherent state, I have decided to wait another day before resuming our regularly scheduled programming. The argument could be […]
I Think Today Is Thursday
The trip back to Germany was uneventful, much better than the 42-hour marathon we took getting to Canada six weeks ago. Now comes the adjustment again to language and culture, which will take much more than the adjustment to this time zone. It was so nice to be in the same time zone as the […]
St. Peter in the Black Forest II
Following up on yesterday’s post, more pictures from the church.
St. Peter in the Black Forest
With only a few days left in Canada I have been rather remiss about posting in this space. So many things to do before we leave, and it seems there is never enough time. I have several new posts bubbling in my head but haven’t gotten around yet to putting pen to paper (so to […]
