This is a new feature on this blog. For some time, New Wife and I have spent many an hour enjoying C.W.’s fine website, and most especially his occasional “On The Road” posts which feature scenic landscapes of outstanding beauty. So (prompted by NW) I’ve decided to do more or less the same, only these pics will be those that I’ve taken on my many travels around the world, one or two at a time. Some of them were taken with an early-era digital camera (therefore low-resolution), so the quality may not be great; but I think you may still enjoy them nevertheless.
Here’s the first: View from the market square; Heidelberg, Germany (December 2008).
Heidelberg (from across the River Neckar, same date)
Very nice photos and a good idea.
We managed to spend 2 days in Heidelberg many years ago on a trip to visit family in and near Paderborn.
Our 2 sons were 10 and 11 and even they thought it was ‘cool’ (good) as opposed to ‘gay’ (bad).
I was there when I was 10. I don’t emember much more than hiking around the castle. It was ‘cool’.
I didn’t do that, but my kids did, and loved it.
I wondered what was the weird looking structure to the left of the Castle. StreetView shows it is part of the Castle – it was under repair in 2008, and the weirdness is scaffolding and shrouds.
