Low down shot...something happens when one gets to a certain age, the simple act of crouching seems to turn into a test of endurance and then the return journey to verticality is accompanied by the cannon-like cracking of knee joints.
Anyways, enough of my geriatric gripes...pass me the gin.
i hope you all had a great start into 2013.
sweep away the dust and all unpleasant feelings, if any, of 2012.

Castle Ronneburg: originally founded in the 13th century, it came into Ysenburg possession in 1476. It attained its greatest importance as the residence of the collateral line Ysenburg-Büdingen-Ronneburg in the 16th century. The castle therefore has very significant Renaissance architecture, including the distinctive domed helmet of the keep, the Zinzendorf Building and the New Bower. During the Thirty Years' War, the core castle was initially largely burnt out, and a few years later Ronneburg Castle was plundered. In the years that followed, it lost its function as a fortress and seat of nobility. Its importance as a monument was recognised around 1900. The good preservation of the medieval and early modern castle buildings has since made it a well-known excursion destination in the region.
Burg Ronneburg: ursprünglich im 13. Jahrhundert gegründet, gelangte sie 1476 in ysenburgischen Besitz. Ihre größte Bedeutung erlangte sie als Residenz der Nebenlinie Ysenburg-Büdingen-Ronneburg im 16. Jahrhundert. Die Burg weist deshalb eine sehr bedeutsame Architektur der Renaissance auf, darunter den markanten Kuppelhelm des Bergfrieds, den Zinzendorfbau und die Neue Kemenate. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg brannte die Kernburg zunächst weitgehend aus, einige Jahre später wurde die Ronneburg geplündert. In der Folgezeit verlor sie ihre Funktion als Wehranlage und Adelssitz. Ihre Bedeutung als Denkmal wurde um 1900 erkannt. Die gute Erhaltung der mittelalterlichen und frühneuzeitlichen Burggebäude macht sie seitdem zu einem bekannten Ausflugsziel der Region.
Frankfurt is one of the few European cities with a large cluster of high rise building in its downtown area; in many other European cities, skyscraper construction was not well received in the past due to the historical value of existing buildings. For this reason, Frankfurt is sometimes referred to as "Mainhattan" (a portmanteau of the local Main river and Manhattan), and Chicago am Main.
