Walberla in white

A couple panoramics from my wanderings to Walberla on Friday. I had hoped there would have been a bit more snow, but I seemed to forget that its the last hill before the ‘low’ areas around Forcheim, Erlangen and Nuremberg so it stays a bit warmer than here in the hills of the Oberpfalz. I […]

Ghost Sheep

I was cruising around the the countryside on Friday afternoon looking for something interesting to take photos of.  I was on my way back as it was getting dark, about 4:30 pm this time of the year, when I stopped to take a few pictures of a castle ruin.  Anyhow, I was heading back to […]

Hopefully I can get to the Nuremberg market on this coming Friday, as its supposed to be […]

In Search of Winter: Part 2

Pottenstein
