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
Day 7 was partially taken up with our descent from Lake of the Angels, partially taken up with our loitering at the trail head pondering what to do next and partially taken up driving toward Mt. Rainier. We stopped off at a hotel along the way as it was suspected… Continue reading
A different angle on the waves in Grand Haven – I’d like to have gotten in front of the light posts, but I also wanted to keep my shoes dry. Apparently, I’m not willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get the shot. Photo taken with Nikon D80 (not… Continue reading
We actually got up early and left Aberdeen right around 7AM headed for the Mt. Ellinor trail head which we reached around 9:00. I think there were two trail heads for Mt. Elinore and we were heading for the upper, which involved many miles of bumpy dirt road to access. … Continue reading
The view descending Mt. Washburn – somewhere along that ridge we had to break right and cross the snow which was the most adventurous part of the hike, particularly around the edges where we’d occasionally just drop through. Fortunately, we didn’t step on any any marmot burrows or bear dens…. Continue reading
The view from atop Mt. Washburn – it was a rather pretty day to be up there. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 18mm, 1/640 shutter, f/11, ISO 100
