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.

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

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.

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.
