More of a Gray Friday
America is renowned for its cultural exports, whether they be Hollywood films, rock and roll or noir detwective novels. If it is popular in the US, it seems inevitable that it will reach the rest of the world, sooner or later. That goes for the bad as well as the good. Like Black Friday. The […]
Visions of Sunset
Another walk through the vineyards at dusk. I may live in the middle of nowhere – but it is beautiful.
I Went For A Walk
Took a different route than usual, wound up in the vineyards to the west of Sulzburg, with views of both Laufen and Ballrechten-Dottingen. You can see the fall colours in the vineyards. I have no idea how long the warm fall weather is going to last – but I intend to take full advantage while […]
No Partridge…
…but I did find a pear tree. Yesterday was a beautiful day, so I took a mid-afternoon break fro a walk through the vineyards at the edge of town, choosing to go west instead of my usual east. (East is closer and less hilly.) I had heard that it was zero Celsius back in Canada, […]
Another Walk In The Vineyards
It was a hazy Sunday afternoon, and the cool weather has finally started. For me that means the leftover grapes in the fields are getting close to my preferred temperature. I like them cool, as if they had been refrigerated. Warm grapes don’t appeal to me. So I was pleased that, for whatever reason, there […]
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 […]
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 […]
