Inflated Prices
It was a taste of home, almost. Admittedly Dunkin’ Donuts isn’t Tim Hortons, but the products do have similarities. At least I think they do – it must be 20 years since I last had one of their donuts. In Canada there is a Tim Hortons on every street corner, or so it seems. The […]
Sunset
Went for a walk in the vineyards on the side of Castellberg, just as the sun was setting in the distance. Hadn’t thought to bring my camera, so we have to make do with these shots from my phone. It was a beautiful sight, and sadly I don’t think the pictures really convey that as […]
Liliental – IV (Wanderer)
Came across this sculpture at a lookout on the trail in the Liliental forest. It seems to fit nicely into its environment.
Liliental – III
Saturday was a perfect day to enjoy the fall colours.
Liliental – II
More images from Saturday’s walk through this forest area.
Liliental – I
Our neighbours suggested a walk in the forest in the Liliental area, about an hour’s drive from Sulzburg. Yesterday was a warm (25C) Autumn day, perfect for such an outing. We weren’t the only ones with that idea. There were hundreds of people on the walking trails, enjoying the fall colours. The change of seasons […]
Walnutty
If the tree is by the side of the road then the nuts are for anyone who wants them. Or so I have been told. Apparently, local municipalities plant walnut trees because they are low maintenance and people can be counted on to do the harvesting. I guess the grocery stores aren’t that thrilled, but […]
In The Vineyard
Went for an afternoon walk through one of the vineyards on the edge of town. Most of the grapes in the area have been harvested, but there were still some left on the vines. I don’t know if those left are a later maturing variety of grape, or whether there was simply too much to […]
Roman Park – IV
One last look at the Roman Park in Heitersheim, some images again from the Museum. The place is child-friendly, as evidenced by these costumes and a sign telling people that they must try the clothes on. The opposite of “do not touch the displays.” I’m sure the kids love it.
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 […]
