The weather was marvelous and on the drive home I made a stop to see a monument I didn't even knew existed... I drove to the spot to catch a nice view over the Rhine River and found the monument with a small, rebuilt temple. There is still so much to see in my "home" country.... and believe me, I really do appreciate being able to live here.
This is a view of the Rhine and the rebuilt "temple"...
These are some of the original pillar stones. The original temple got destroyed in WW II.
And this is a picture of the monument itself. It's in the process of being renovated but is quite impressive....

Wow! That view is AMAZING! I know you enjoy your work, but I'm betting retirement trumps work every time. Thanks for sharing. :)

ReplyDeletethank you all! I really do live in a beautiful country so I don't complain. I do miss the dry, hot deserts of California but that's more a sentimental thing I think. lol
