The Beautiful Game
Last time it was Rome’s Olympic Stadium and the cream of Italian soccer. Today it is Sulzburg, and I don’t know if you can sink lower than this. This afternoon’s previous match, which I didn’t arrive in time for, was between SV Sulzburg and SV Tunsel in the county C league – the game I’m […]
Welcome to Walpurgis Night
Tonight there are Walpurgis Night celebrations throughout Germany, or at least in our area. I knew about May Day and that it was a big celebration, but had never heard of Walpurgis Night. Looking at the poster I thought it might be something akin to Fastnacht, which is held in February (and yes, I know […]
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.
Blue Light Special – II
I took a fair number of pictures as Sulzburg unveiled its new fire truck (see yesterday’s post). Since shiny red vehicles are always fun, I thought a photo essay was in order today. There was a wide range of fire fighting and emergency vehicles, including a snowmobile type with a sled behind it that I […]
Blue Light Special – I
The posters had been up around town for a couple of weeks advertising “Blaulicht Tag” which even I know means Blue Light Day. This isn’t K-Mart; Sulzburg was getting a new fire truck and it was cause for celebration. It was only after the fact my wife told me that the new truck wasn’t […]
Community Service
For me, one of the appeals of Sulzburg is the miniature golf course behind the city square. In an area sorely lacking in entertainment alternatives, the free course is a nice perk. Of course, the problem with free is that you get what you pay for. The course is in sad shape – I figure […]
The Easter Tree
Okay, it isn’t really a tree and eggs have only a tenuous connection to Easter. But these were on display just down our street, right in front of St. Cyriak church. I figured they were colourful enough to warrant their own post. Don’t recall seeing any similar displays in Canada, but maybe I’m just not […]
Winter Wonderland II
Just a few pictures today of Saturday’s snowfall in Sulzburg and the surrounding vineyards.
Winter Wonderland I
I woke up Sunday morning and there was snow on the ground. Winter is almost over, and for the first time the flurries didn’t melt on contact. Not enough snow to justify putting on boots mind you, the streets and sidewalks were bare, but it was better than nothing. I’ve missed winter. It will all […]
The Other Church
I’m sure there’s a story behind this church, though I ‘m not sure what it is. One of these days I will ask. It is a modern building, looks to me like a 1970s interior. I didn’t see the name out front, but the city website says it is St. Bernard. (In Canada municipalities don’t […]
