This young man looks quite pensive, I wonder what he's dreaming of? Photo taken in August 2014.

Gated off


I would have liked to see what lies beyond this gate, it looked like an interesting courtyard. But sadly it was closed off to me. Photo taken in August 2014.

Details


A closer look at the wall from this post. Photo taken in August 2014.

Chateau d'eau


The old water tower of Montmartre, I think water castle sounds nicer though! Photo taken in August 2014.

03 November 2014

Go go dancer


This mural makes me think of a go go dancer in a cage. It's yet another find in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris. Photo taken in August 2014.

Looking out


Looking out at the streets of Paris, beautifully framed by the arch of Saint Ferdinand church. Photo taken in August 2014.

Floating


I really like the altar inside Saint Ferdinand church. Jesus seems to be floating above it, arms outstretched.


The only thing I can't decide is whether the image is better in color or black and white. What do you think? Photo taken in August 2014.

Movement



The metro zooms away, leaving barely a trace of it's tail lights. Photo taken in August 2014.

A wine cellar with a painted door. Looks like my kind of place! Photo taken in August 2014.

Scaffolding and benches


This is an outside view of the Fountain Room at Maulbronn Abbey. It was being restored when I visited but I have a feeling I'll be back here someday. Photo taken in March 2014.

Looking out


More details from the Maulbronn Abbey. The painted ceilings were gorgeous, unfortunately the light inside was low and my photos don't do it justice. Photo taken in March 2014.

Maulbronn fountain


This fountain is at the heart of the Maulbronn Abbey. Apparently the original monks decided to build on this site because of the amazingly clean and fresh water they found here. Photo taken in March 2014.

German script


I have no idea what this says, but it looks neat. Found inside the Maulbronn Abbey near Stuttgart. Photo taken in March 2014.

25 July 2014

Courtyard view


I love those covered walkways you find in old European Abbeys. Maulbronn reminded me a lot of the Mont Saint Michel in Normandy. Photo taken in March 2014.

24 July 2014

Hausle in Hermannsdorf


I absolutely adore these cute wooden garden houses you find in Southern Germany. This one also has a nice bench where you can watch the fruit trees and flowers grow! Photo taken in March 2014.

Bus stop


I found this Bushaltestelle in a small village just outside of Stuttgart. I love the timbered panels and that they've installed a nice, long bench so people can wait in comfort. Photo taken in March 2014.

16 July 2014

Hallo Pia


Meet Pia, the Stuttgart kitty. Photo taken in March 2014.

From the outside


Here is a look at the Porsche Museum from the outside. It was designed by the architecture firm Delugan Meissl.


It's a very impressive building, especially when you  walk underneath and see the reflections in the mirrored tiles. The next time I'm in Stuttgart, I'm going to visit the Mercedes Museum. Photos taken in March 2014.
