I love ruins.....

and we have enough around here... yet I'm always finding new ones.

Yesterday morning I had that work related class to teach. The class took place at a town on the Neckar River, near the famous Heidelberg. Anyway, after class (which once again went very well), I noticed on my drive along the river a fortress ruin I had never noticed before, probably since the trees in front of it have no leaves at the moment. I decided to stop and take a closer look... I love ruins!



As you can see there is still snow on the ground and part of the paths were icy... but I walked up to it anyway.





This is a view of the road along the Neckar River that leads to and passes through Heidelberg....



After I dropped the business car off, I then drove to Regina's where I spent the afternoon and evening. I was quite tired when I arrived home, in fact I slept until 08:00 am this morning! So today a lazy day was planned, but I actually got lots of stuff done, too.

Time now to get to bed ... this week will probably be another busy one *sigh*

  4. Very cool! You don't find ruins like that here in the USA, unfortunately.
