We had discussed visiting Dachau concentration camp today, but the overcast skies combined with the grimness of that endeavour persuaded us otherwise. Instead we took a leisurely drive to Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
01) MUNICH | Early
morning.
02) NEAR SOLNHOFN | Sr.
& Jr. Witzel in search of fossils (they didn't find any).
03) NEAR SOLNHOFN | They're
very persistent.
 04) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | The most romantic of the surviving medieval villages. |
05) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | People
ask me, "Is there a story behind this photo?" Hope springs...
 06) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | Ivy problem? What ivy problem?! |
 07) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | The town is very much alive with people living and working within the walls. |
08) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | A
view from the garden.
 09) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | Another view from the garden (the river [Tauber] is just off to the right in the little valley). |
10) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | Yet
another view from the gardern. Every time I see this shot I'm reminded
that "Buttercup was raised on a small farm, in the country of
Florin..."
11) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | Dusk.
12) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | Still
dusk.
13) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | Night.
The Rathaus is lit up.
14) ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER | The
"money shot." Of special importance to me is this location [Plönlein
& Siebers Tower], as growing up my mom had a skectch of it hanging
in our house.
