I dug back for this one

youtu.be/tx17RvPMaQ8

I am resilient

I trust the movement

I negate the chaos

uplift the negative

I'll show up at the table

again and again and again

I'll close my mouth and learn to listen

woah woah ooh ooh

these times are poignant

the winds have shifted

it's all we can do

to stay uplifted

pipelines through backyards

wolves howlin out front

yeah, I got my crew but truth is what I want

realigned and on point

power to the peaceful

prayers to the waters

women at the center

all vessels open

to give and receive

let's see the system

brought down to its knees

woah woah ooh ooh

I'm made of thunder

I'm made of lightning

I'm made of dirt yeah

made of the fine things

my father taught me that I'm a speck of dust

and this world was made for me

so let's go and try our luck

I got my roots down, down deep

So what are we doing here?

what has been done?

what are you gonna do about it

when the world comes undone?

my voice feels tiny

and I'm sure so does yours

but put us all together

make a mighty roar

roar

In around 970, the Eastern Franconian nobleman Reinger founded the Parish of Detwang in the Tauber Valley, just below the eventual site of the town of Rothenburg. The Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul was the parent church of the later town church of St. James.

Around 1080, the Counts of Komburg built a fortress on the so-called “Vinegar Jug” (next to the Infirmary). In 1116 the family endowed its largesse on the Convent of Komburg (near Schwäbisch Hall) and the Monastery of Neumünster in Würzburg.

A true medieval gem, Rothenburg ob der Tauber (meaning ‘above the Tauber River’) is a top tourist stop along the Romantic Road. With its web of cobbled lanes, higgledy-piggledy houses and towered walls, the town is the archetypal fairy-tale Germany. Urban conservation orders here are the strictest in Germany – and at times it feels like a medieval theme park – but all’s forgiven in the evenings, when the lamplight casts its spell long after the last tour buses have left.

Rothenburg only started to recover when, in 1873, it was connected to the German railway network. Prior to this, the city had been “rediscovered” by artists, writers and academics and was presented to a broader national and international public as the epitome of “old German” urban architecture. Tourism began to play a key role in the town’s economic life. Industrialization also made its mark, albeit at a modest level, the population increased and the town prospered.

From 1871 onwards, a small Jewish community settled in Rothenburg once again. The expulsion of this group in 1938 was a black day in the history of the town, which was glorified by the Third Reich as a perfect example of German culture from 1933 onwards. Another black day came in the shape of an American air raid during the last weeks of World War II, when around 45 per cent of the old walled town was destroyed. The successful rebuilding of the town in the post-war period is the most significant achievement in Rothenburg’s recent history.

Résilience

Cette femelle Grand-duc d’Amérique vient de passer un week-end glacial et demeure pourtant stoïque sur son nid, protégeant imperturbablement sa progéniture en devenir, avec son mâle jamais bien loin. Ici, elle profitait des derniers rayons de soleil pour se garder au chaud. Dès cette nuit, c’est une tempête de neige qu’elle devra affronter. Pas facile de nicher en plein hiver québécois.

Rothenburg is one of the best preserved medieval villages in Germany and is also probably one the most touristy! I was lucky enough to visit May 04-05 so was on the early shoulder season and had some room to shoot picture without tripping over people. The city has parking outside the old walls for tourists and it is definitely less hassle than trying to drive around in this compact lovely place. This city gate scene was taken walking on my way to the Hotel Zum Breiterle to check in with my D750 and my trusty Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2.

While buildings within the walled city reflect the city's medieval history, this part of the city is in many ways a normal, modern German town with some concession to the tourist trade. Many stores and hotels catering to tourists are clustered around the Town Hall Square and along several major streets (such as Herrngasse, Schmiedgasse). Also in the town is a Criminal Museum, containing various punishment and torture devices used during the Middle Ages. A staple pastry of Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the Schneeball, deep-fried dough shaped like a snowball and covered in either confectioner's sugar or chocolate.

L'ultima in fondo è la rosa fiorita dopo la nevicata di fine dicembre. È sempre splendida, così come quella fotografata vicino all'albero di limoni. Tanto belle da sembrare finte. Hanno resistito a tutto : pioggia, forte vento, gelo.... E infondono forza

Ogni mattina è una nuova luce, nuova lezione di vita da imparare . Sapendo che la felicità ti rende gentile, i dolori umano, i fallimenti umile e le prove forte, tra una lacrima e un sorriso trova sempre la voglia di guardare il giorno con la speranza nel cuore...

Always her..., beautiful. ( the rose that bloomed after the December snowfall )

Every morning is a new light, a new lesson of life to learn. Knowing that happiness, makes you kind, the sorrows understanding, the failures humble and the trials strong, between a tear and a smile always find the desire to look at the day with the hope in your heart....

As a Protestant town, Rothenburg not only suffered from a permanent conflict of loyalties with the Catholic Lord of the town, the Habsburg Emperor, but was also condemned to economic ruin by passing armies, billeted soldiery, contributions obtained through coercion, and pillage. It was captured several times by the military (1631, 1645), and it population was decimated by plague.

Rothenburg still retained its Imperial credentials for a further one hundred and fifty years. This finally came to an end in 1802 and 1803, when the town fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria as part of Napoleon’s reallocation of lands. In addition, the western part of its former territories was ceded to Württemberg in 1810.

In around 970, the Eastern Franconian nobleman Reinger founded the Parish of Detwang in the Tauber Valley, just below the eventual site of the town of Rothenburg. The Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul was the parent church of the later town church of St. James.

Around 1080, the Counts of Komburg built a fortress on the so-called “Vinegar Jug” (next to the Infirmary). In 1116 the family endowed its largesse on the Convent of Komburg (near Schwäbisch Hall) and the Monastery of Neumünster in Würzburg.

It's always amazing to come across these old homes and find them still standing. This one was a little south of Hwy. 2 east of Farmer, Washington.

Constructive criticism always appreciated.
