In Erinnerung an die farbenprächtigen Weinberge im Herbst 2008
In memory of the colorful vineyards at last autumn 2008, Germany
Seen in a forest in the near of Aichwald (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). Loved the little waterfalls and vortices - showing water power. It is very idyllic and hid in the wood. I could find him only by the gurgle.
If you have time view View On Black
Diesen kleine Bach habe ich im Wald bei Aichwald endeckt, es ist der Strümpfelbach. Für einen so kleinen Bach entwickelt er an einigen Stellen ganz schöne Kräfte. Er liegt sehr idyllisch und im Wald versteckt. Ich konnte ihn nur anhand des Plätscherns finden.

I have to admit it:
I walked around and took some pictures and I have no idea what kind of flower this is futher than Asteraceae. Maybe someone can help?

"Eltville am Rhein (from Alta Villa, Latin for "high estate, high town", corrupted to Eldeville, Elfeld and later Eltville, German pronunciation: [ˈɛltvɪlə]) is a town in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis in the Regierungsbezirk of Darmstadt in Hesse, Germany. It lies on the German Timber-Frame Road (Fachwerkstraße).
Eltville is the biggest town in the Rheingau. It bears the nicknames Weinstadt, Sektstadt, Rosenstadt and since 2006 also Gutenbergstadt. Some of Germany's most famous vineyards (Steinberg, Rauenthaler Baiken, Erbacher Marcobrunn) are found within Eltville's municipal limits.
Eltville, which belongs culturally to the Rheingau region, lies on the River Rhine, 12 km west-southwest of Wiesbaden.
The earliest traces of humans settling here go back to the New Stone Age. There has been continuous habitation since the late 4th century. Eltville had its first documentary mention in Vita Bardonis (Bardo's life) from 1058, a biography of Archbishop Bardo of Mainz. In 1329, the archiepiscopal castle and the town wall around Eltville were built. On 23 August 1332, Emperor Louis the Bavarian granted Eltville town rights. With the granting of town rights, Eltville ended up being a pawn in the then ongoing dispute between the Emperor and the Pope. Archbishop Baldwin, one of Emperor Louis's followers and administrator of the Mainz monastery, was the one who asked for Eltville to be raised to town. From 1347 to 1480, Eltville was the residence of the Archbishops of Mainz. In 1349, Günther of Schwarzburg was defeated in his bid for the German throne at the Siege of Eltville. From Dietrich Schenk von Erbach, Archbishop of Mainz (1434–1459), the outlying centre of Erbach presumably got its name.
Rheingau is one of 13 designated German wine regions (Weinbaugebiete) producing quality wines (QbA and Prädikatswein). It was named after the traditional region of Rheingau (meaning "Rhine district"), the wine region is situated in the state of Hesse, where it constitutes part of the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis administrative district. Although, making up only 3 percent of the total German vineyard area, Rheingau has been the source of many historically important innovations in German wine making, and contains many wine producers of international reputation, such as Schloss Johannisberg. Rheingau, with 3,125 hectares (7,720 acres) of vineyards in 2016, also boasts a higher proportion of Riesling (77.7%) than any other German wine-growing region, with Spätburgunder (Pinot noir) making up most of the rest (12.2%), followed by Müller-Thurgau.
The geography of the Rheingau is very distinct. Around Wiesbaden, the river Rhine detours from its northward flow west for about 30 km before it flows north again. The greater part of the Rheingau is situated here on the river's right bank, but the region also includes the stretch along Rhine after it turns northward again, around the villages Assmannshausen and Lorch. The vineyards in Hochheim on the Main river are also included, just before it flows into Rhine. The Rheingau spans about 50 km from end to end. North of the Rheingau rises the Taunus mountain range, so most of the Rheingau's vineyards are on south-facing slope between hills and streams, which provides excellent wine-growing conditions in these northerly latitudes.
Since the Verona donation in 983, the Rheingau belonged to the archbishopric of Mainz. Legend has it that Charlemagne let the first vineyards be planted in the region, close to present-day Schloss Johannisberg. However finds like a Roman origin grapevine cutting knife point to even earlier cultivation. Better documented is the early influence of the church on Rheingau winemaking, which was controlled from Eberbach Abbey. Augustinians and Benedictines are known to have inhabited the area of the later abbey from 1116, and in 1135 the Cistercians arrived, sent out from Clairvaux. Legend has it that the Cistercians, which are also credited with having founded the wine industry in Burgundy, brought Pinot noir with them to Rheingau, although the earliest record of the grape variety in Rheingau is from 1470. The slopes down from the Taunus mountains belonging to Eberbach Abbey were planted as vineyards in the 12th century, and early in the 13th century the vineyards had reached their present area. In medieval times, more red than white wine was produced, usually as Gemischter Satz, i.e. the vineyards were planted with mixed varieties which were vinified together.
Rheingau Wine Official Classification of 1867
In 2011 it was unveiled, that the Official Wine Classification in the Rheingau has a 150 years history. The classification was the basis for taxation of wineries after the annexation of the Duchy of Nassau by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866. In the book Der nassauische Weinbau published in 1867 by Friedrich Wilhelm Dünkelberg a historical map Weinbau-Karte des nassauischen Rheingaus (Viticultural map of the Rheingau in the Duchy of Nassau), all known vineyards at that time had been marked up by colour, evaluated and classified in first class vineyards (I. Klasse), second class vineyards (II. Klasse) and the remaining vineyards." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

Am Fuße des Siebengebirges in der Weinstadt Königswinter in direkter Ufernähe des Rheins ist zurzeit diese wunderschöne Pyramide aufgebaut.
Die Entstehung der Weihnachtspyramide geht bis ins Mittelalter zurück. In dieser Zeit war es in Süd- und Westeuropa üblich, in der Wohnung immergrüne Zweige (z. B. Buchsbaum) aufzuhängen, um Unheil in der dunklen Zeit abzuwenden. In Nord- und Osteuropa versuchte man dies mit Hilfe der Kraft des Lichtes.
Die Weihnachtspyramide vereinte beide Bräuche und wurde vor allem im Erzgebirge zu einem Symbol für das Weihnachtsfest. Die in Deutschland im 18. Jahrhundert bekannten Lichtergestelle waren der Ursprung der heutigen Pyramiden. Sie bestanden aus vier mit grünen Zweigen umwundenen Stäben, die am oberen Ende zusammengebunden und mit Lichtern versehen waren. In vielen Dorfkirchen der Mark Brandenburg standen früher zur Christmette sich nach oben verjüngende Lattengerüste, die mit brennenden Kerzen besetzt und glitzernden Gegenständen behangen waren. Das Ausschmücken dieser Pyramiden und das Anzünden der Kerzenlichter war eine der Hauptaufgaben der damals gebildeten Leuchterbauer-Gesellschaften.

Bad Kösen liegt mitten im nördlichsten Weinanbaugebiet Deutschlands.Die Stadt wird von der Saale durchflossen.
Seinen Ruf als Kurstadt verdankt Bad Kösen den Solequellen, welche zur Salzgewinnung dienten und später zur Inhalation genutzt wurden. Die heute noch erhaltenen Restanlagen der alten Soleförderung sind ein einmaliges technisches Denkmal. In den Saalhäusern befindet sich das Landesweingut Kloster Pforta. Die reizvolle Landschaft um Bad Kösen machen die Stadt zu einem beliebten Erholungsgebiet.
Yesterday, I took out my new DJI for a test flight. I previously scouted the location during my race bike training. It's probably the largest and most beautiful vineyard in the area.
This shot is an HDR taken directly into the sun light, which was blocked and softened through autumnal fog. The photo was taken in Weinstadt, Germany.

We all know it, Corona times were and are bad times. But despite all the challenges, people discovered what's important in life. I have met and heard of many people, finding their boy- and girlfriends in these times. So it wasn't all that bad after all 👫❤️🍂

Wer in dieser Weinstadt nach der Kirche fragt bekommt fast nur ausweichende Antworten. Nun das ist ist dem Städtchen hier völlig normal, denn hier im südlichen Teil der Cote-d´-Or geht es nur um Wein und sonst um gar nichts. Aber ganz hinten am Friedhof steht eine Kirche aus dem 13. Jh - man höre richtig: im 13. Jh wurde in Nordfrankreich schon längst Gotik verbaut. Nicht so hier. Man klammerte sich förmlich an den alten Stil auch wenn schon plumpe gotische Formensprache in den Bögen und Kapitellen feststellbar ist. So kommt der neue Stil hier mit Verspätung an. Aber wie gesagt, hier dreht sich alles um Wein und das schon seit den Römern...
More toying around with vintage lenses...
Sorry for the bit of motion blur!
So...These are parts of the ruins of the first fortress constructed by and for the house of Wuertemberg. Construction took place in the 10th or 11th century.
The fortress served as a defence for the "Kaiserstraße" (Emperors road).
Till roughly 1080 House of Wuertemberg was still called house of Beutelsbach after their fortress here over the village. The namechange occured when they had their newer and bigger fortress on Wirtemberg constructed,
Anyway the fortress got completely forgotten and only "found" during land consolidations in 1968.
Unfortunately parts of the reconstructions do not match scientific standards plus the largest part has not been recreated at all!
At the moment the whole thing is locked behin temporary fencing I suspect exessive drinking and partying in the ruins as the cause.
"Rheingauer Dom is the colloquial name for the Catholic parish church in Geisenheim, Germany. Officially Pfarrkirche Heilig Kreuz (Holy Cross), the large church in the Rheingau region is called Dom although it was never a bishop's seat. The present building was begun in the 16th century, but major features such as an expansion of the nave from three to five vaults, the towers, the organ and several altars were added in the 19th century. The parish is part of the Diocese of Limburg.
The present building began as a late-Gothic hall church, built mostly from 1510 to 1518. It succeeded a Romanesque church first mentioned in 1146. In 1829, the west towers had to be demolished because they were unsafe. The architect Philipp Hoffmann, who was born in Geisenheim, proposed to expand the church and build a new facade and towers. Hoffmann, who later built landmarks in Wiesbaden such as St. Bonifatius and the Russian Church, expanded the nave by adding two more vaults similar to the three Gothic ones, and created a new west facade with neo-Gothic towers. The large church is called Dom although it was never a bishop's seat.
The towers were restored from 2010 to 2014. The celebration of the completion was on Pentecost 2014, with a "Mass of All Saints" by Alan Wilson, performed by church choir and children's choir conducted by Florian Brachtendorf.
The church is a venue of the Rheingau Musik Festival and other concerts, including choral concerts of the Rheingauer Kantorei.
Features from the Gothic structure are the vault and the Dreikönigsaltar. The high altar in neo-Gothic style was installed in 1886. Another neo-Gothic altar, the Marienaltar, was created by Caspar Weis in 1894.
The organ was commissioned in 1839 and built in 1842 by Gebrüder Stumm, with 31 stops, two keyboards and pedal. It is the largest instrument with two manuals that the company built. In 1987, the organ was restored to its original state of the Romantic period. Martin Lücker played in 2012 a concert with a program that Albert Schweitzer had performed in Frankfurt in 1928 on a similar instrument that was destroyed.
