The server is misbehaving, so I have to post from my backups. And, since my backups aren’t cataloged I can’t really do edits, and without edits a lot of the Rhine tour pictures are very, very dull thanks to the haze that day. So, instead you will get a few… Continue reading
I was going to concoct some version of “Islands in a Stream” to go with this picture, but I’m tired. The Pfalzgrafenstein Castle situated in the middle of the Rhine. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 20mm, 1/125 sec shutter, f/8.0, ISO 100
According to our tour guide, the oldest hotel in Germany. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 27mm, 1/60 sec shutter, f/8.0, ISO 160
Rothenburg inskirts. This was somewhere on the inside of the wall, though I don’t think it was that close to where I took the picture of the outside of the wall. The wooden structure was a little concerning because at times the stairs were obviously one old 2×10 preventing a 25′ fall… Continue reading
After the last work day of our trip we took a detour to Rothenburg to wander around a bit. This was one of the walls on the edge of town. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL1018 lens @ 10mm, 1/125 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 100
One of the evenings when we weren’t cramming schnitzel into our faces, we went out to Octoberfest to drink large volumes of fair-to-middlin’ beer. In hindsight, this was not a good idea, but it would have been rude to decline our hosts’ invitation. The entire todo around Octoberfest is pretty… Continue reading
What’s interesting about this picture is not the pretty little village, it’s that this was a typical two lane road that we were on every day going to and from the plant. Germany is known for the autobahn, a road engineered to be almost 2x as hefty as normal, but… Continue reading
And, what does one get to eat at the Werner restaurant? A meter long schnitzel! For those who might not know, schnitzel is fried steak. This place served schnitzel that was a meter long… and our table downed two of them. It was not a healthy trip. Also, since you… Continue reading
So, a few weeks ago, some coworkers and I had a trip to Germany. I figure I’ll post some of the pictures over the next few days. Let’s start it off with this one – a shot of the Werner restaurant where we had our team dinner one evening. Please… Continue reading
By the time this posts, I’ll actually be back in Germany for the second time in my life, 13 years later, and for a much shorter time. Maybe I’ll have some new pictures of cool things to post when I get back. This is some unknown (to me) castle on… Continue reading
