Another Black Forest Walk
Saturday was sunny and hot – felt like summer. It was much cooler in the shade offered by the trees. We saw some trails we haven’t explored yet, but given time constraints, those will have to wait for another day.
Poop and Scoop
Dog owners know that they have a responsibility to make sure their pooch doesn’t leave nasty deposits on public (or private) property. Vigorously enforced municipal bylaws back that up. I expected Germans to be even more diligent than Canadians when it comes to cleaning up after their pets. It is a clean country, and citizens […]
The Belchen – IV
One last look at the snow and the view – until summer anyway.
The Belchen – III
Today and tomorrow just a few more pictures of one of the Black Forest’s foremost tourist atractions.
The Belchen – II
When we arrived at the top of the Belchen, the highest peak in the area, I realized that I had probably seen it before, albeit from a distance. I’m sure I can see it from the outskirts of Sulzburg, I just hadn’t known what it was. My wife had visited this mountain with friends a […]
The Belchen – I
Going to do things a little differently today. Normally when I visit a major tourist attraction and take lots of pictures I tell you all about it and then follow up with a photo post. I’ve decided instead today to give you a sampling of pictures first, and talk about this mountain on my next […]
Ugly or Evil?
Sulzburg celebrated Fastnacht yesterday. Once I’ve had some time to process it mentally I will give some thoughts, hopefully reasoned ones. Today it will just be a few pictures from the parade. They were expecting on excess of 5,000 people to line the main street to watch. Not bad for a town of 2,000. Admission […]
Sunday Afternoon in the Black Forest
I looked at the bridge and said to myself, “I’ve taken a picture of that before.” Back in October we walked from Badenweiler, where we were living temporarily, to Britzingen. It seemed like a lot of uphill, though it is only a three kilometre journey, more or less. This past Sunday we walked from Sulzburg […]
Which Direction Will You Choose?
It’s a new year. I could wax philosophical, but I’ll save that for another day perhaps. But I have been thinking about choices. We make them all the time, usually without thinking about it. For example, each morning I choose to put on a pair of socks. There are other options – I could go […]
Walking to Laufen
Woke up yesterday to snowflakes falling gently. In town they melt on contact, but in the hills above the snow looked so pretty on the trees. It is almost as if there is a line drawn somewhere and that is where the snow stops. One field is white, the one beside it green. I took […]
