Rambling up the southern side of the Heiligenberg, across the Neckar from the castle, one will find the Philosopher's Walk. Its name, it is said, stems from the fact that university professors and philosophers walked there, perhaps using the solitude of the forest and the incredible views of the city and surrounding area for inspiration. If you visit Heidelberg during the summer months, you will notice an interesting feature about the Philosopher's Walk – it has a climate which is much more temperate, almost Mediterranean-like, than that of the valley. In fact, you will see many plants growing here that normally cannot thrive in the northern, more milder weather, such as lemon trees, pomegranates, cypresses, and palm trees...

The temple Reikan-ji (霊鑑寺) from 1654 is only open a few weeks a year, in the spring and in late fall. It's close to the famous philosophers' path.
The text in english is: " Things are born, grow up, disappear and come back with the same infinite movement of love"...Amerindian Wisdom.

Dear friends and visitors, this is the last picture from Flores. Now comes Christmas and after i invite you to travel along with me to some ancient places and volcanos of Java. Thank you so much for following so far.
I wish everyone of you happy holidays and - if you celebrate it - a merry Christmas!
Pelicans look like old Philosophers to me. The have such a serious look on their faces and the way the flock together, makes me think that they are busy with some very serious discussion.
This one was shot at the Alipore Zoological Gardens in Kolkata.
The zoo is in a pathetically bad shape today, with only a few creatures left for people to see. But I like going back to this place every winter to see the migratory birds that come. Sad thing is that, with pollution increasing day by day, the number of the birds flying in is decreasing very rapidly.
I wasn't planning on posting today, until I suddenly remembered having captured some fences after our visit to the museum last week. What a smile when I stumbled onto this image - one of many but one of a kind from that day. It immediately reminded me of the very mood of Philosopher's Walk.
HFF after all!
