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 […]
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 […]
Fake Cow
Went to an open house Sunday at the SOS Children’s Village in Sulzburg (more on that at a later date). There were various vendors selling refreshments. The big hit was a dairy. At least I think it was a dairy – they were giving out free yoghurt drink samples. I don’t drink (or eat) yoghurt, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Weinfest
We saw the banner for weeks, every time we drove through Britzingen. Winefest was coming. The town has a reputation for the excellence of its wines, so a festival seems appropriate. We stopped by on the Sunday, since we drive through Britzingen after church. The main street was closed, there was parking along the detour […]
Fungus
I was looking for something to use as a photo essay for today and came across these pictures of a mushroom of sorts that I took last October in Badenweiler, Germany. They didn’t look familiar, so I don’t think I have published them before. I don’t eat mushrooms, but there was something aesthetically pleasing about […]
Health Care Challenges
My eye was hurting. My first thought was one of my eyelashes had somehow gotten a little twisted, so I flushed it out with water. That didn’t work though. It was still itchy and red. Quite annoying really. Especially since I wasn’t sure what to do. Back in Canada I might have called my doctor. […]
Always
The church service at St. Cyriak, just a minute’s walk from our apartment, is at 10 on Sunday mornings. I gather it has been for centuries. But 10 a.m. isn’t when it starts. St. Cyriak is part of a multiple point pastoral charge, including churches in Laufen and St. Ilgen. There used to be a […]
