Loved the cat!


He didn't mind that I came to a sudden stop to look at him lounging next to the narrow lane. He just closed his eyes again and went back to what he did best.

Another sign with script


Fantastic Heraldry above doorway

For some reason, I take crooked photos with this camera--got to work on that.

Architectural Detail


I liked the detail next to the City Hall door. I don't think they use this entrance much, anymore. I never see anyone use it. When we applied for residency, we used a door around the side. This is not part of the original building--the original building was destroyed through fire or war--I don't remember and my books are in Europe, so I can't check at the moment. Some time after the building was rebuilt, it burned with only the front left standing. The town hall was rebuilt, reusing the front facade.

View from the windmill


Door on windmill



Door on the top story of the windmill. It took a little while to get used to walking around the platform because you could see all the way down to the ground between the slats. One young boy was out there with his mom and he wouldn't step out from the wall.

View of canal from windmill


One view from the 7th story of the Windmill Museum. This is near the train station and we often pass this canal when we take the bus into town.
