Der Turmhof mit seinen Gebäuden, dass Wahrzeichen des Städtchens Steckborn in der Schweiz am am südlichen Ufer des Untersees. Der Turmhof wurde 1128 erbaut und diente dem Abt des Klosters Reichenau als Wohnsitz. Der Untersee ist der kleinere der beiden Seen des Bodensees.

 

The Turmhof with its buildings, that landmark of the small town of Steckborn in Switzerland on the southern shore of Lake Untersee. The Turmhof was built in 1128 and served as the residence of the abbot of the Reichenau monastery. Untersee is the smaller of the two lakes of Lake Constance.

Of course I couldn't resist these two holdouts from the past, next to an old grocery store.

Skyline of my hometome, with the castle (built around 1100) on top of the hill and the old town with the church (~1300) to the right.

Eutin is a small town in northern Germany. at night there is a calm here that is completely unknown in large cities.

Sun sets over my small hometown. Which is not a pure idyll - there is also an ugly cement plant (on the right).

This is a HDR panorama consisting of 8x3 images. If you like zoom in to enjoy 6K resolution which is half of the original file size.

The shots have been taken from the castle hill. If you compare with the previous image, you will recognize the same fire-red tree.

One more image to conclude this small series of fall images of my hometown in Upper Palatinate, Bavaria. You already know the castle and the two church towers. Taken from a distance on a bridge over the river Naab, to display how the town is wrapped in greenery if you view it from the right angle.

Sitting in your car, surrounded by the unpleasant reality of your current life. Wouldn’t you dream of a beautiful but distant setting? Maybe it’s a memory of where you’ve been before and left behind, or someplace you’ve only read about or seen in photos....We all have dreams.

About a month ago, No! I looked it up. Exactly a month ago there was a very foggy morning and i went and got some shots around town. I am only two blocks away from this lovely (rebuilt) bridge. This is what I beholdeth that morning.

Happy Anyday.
