Back to the grind
Well, after 2.5 weeks traveling with my family in the UK and Germany we're back and just about over our jet lag. I do love to travel and check out new places but I can safely say it's always nice to get home and sleep in your own bed and have all of your own creature comforts in one place. Some things you manage without and sort of forget you actually have or do when your at home. It's really good in a way as I find that, while away, you realize that you can manage without many things that you use/have at home. I will admit I took my camera gear and computer with me as those are material items I feel I can't live without... At least at this point in my life.
Externsteine On a Stormy Day
This is a shot of the Externsteine that is right near the northern town of Detmold, Germany where my wife grew up. The town is not that huge, in comparison to München (Munich) or Köln (Cologne) but there really is quite a bit going on around the city and not too far from it to explore.
This place is one of those cool places to explore and walk around. There are many trails to hike on around here not to mention being able to climb the steps carved into the rock to get on top from which you get a spectacular view of the surrounding country side. It's quite an unusual and interesting place to check out. There are what appears to be rooms carved out at the bottom along with a mural carved on the outside.
Here is a link to wikipedia with more info on it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externsteine
Supposedly up to a million people visit this site each year. If your ever in this part of Germany I definitely recommend it. Especially on a nice, or at least, not too wet day.
Enjoy!

VHS-Hausaufgabe 18.2 "Silhoulette": Die Externsteine sind eine markante Sandstein-Felsformation im Teutoburger Wald und als solche eine herausragende Natursehenswürdigkeit Deutschlands, die unter Natur- und Kulturdenkmalschutz steht. Die Felsen sind vom Wiembecketeich und einer parkartigen Anlage umgeben. Die Externsteine liegen im Gebiet der Stadt Horn-Bad Meinberg im Kreis Lippe in Nordrhein-Westfalen. Den Externsteinen werden besondere kulturgeschichtliche Bedeutungen zugeschrieben.
A bit of Gimp-Action. I wasn't satisfied with the original photo and so I tried to improve it. This is the result and I think it is quite good~
A few days later, I visited again the Externsteine. The weather had completely changed. Instead of the 7°C on the previous days the temperature had dropped to a freezing -3°C (29F). Also the strong winds had moved some place else. Everything seemed to be caught in a kind of winter stasis - except snow was missing. Btw., the white stuff on the grass and in the woods in the background is hoar frost.

After Bishop Meinwerk had finished the work on the destroyed cathedral, he (re)founded and (re)built the Abdinghof-Abbey (St. Peter and St. Paul) in 1014, that was like the cathedral burnt down in the year 1000.
The abbey later was known for it´s library and it´s scriptorium. 1093 the abbey bought the Externsteine, that´s when the sulptures on the stones were carved. It burnt down a couple of times over the centuries, got raided during the Thirty-Years War. 1803 the last monks had to leave the abbey. 1815 the prussian armee moved into the buildings.
Mid 1860 this is a ruin, but gets rebuilt and in 1871 this is the first protestant parish church in Paderborn. Bombed and burned down in March 1945 the abbey was lost, but the church got reconstructed during the 1950s.
The westwork, we see today is a "reconstruction" of the 19th century. Archeologists proved, that the church from around 1050 had an apse in the west and probably smaller spires.
