Cinderella Castle

Erlenbach, Germany
Believe it or not I drive right past the little pasture on the way to our house in Germany. In fact you can see this from the office window.
Trier Panorama HDR
It was a not so nice cloudy, cold and rainy day… But there is always someway to get a great photo. The cloudy overcast rainy day gave great textures in the clouds and added a nice sheen to the paving stones.

Over Thanksgiving weekend we took the ICE train from Kaiserslautern Germany to Paris France. I knew from a previous visit I had to visit the Opéra National de Paris and get one perfect picture of the Grand Hallway.
Moving to Germany
It’s been a while since I have posted anything… But I have a good reason. We have moved to Germany! Moving locally can put someone out of touch for a week or two, depending on the move. For us it has been more like a couple of months. All is well and we are safe and in good health. We will move into our new german home in Kaiserslautern, Germany at the end of next week. In the mean time please accept my apologies and enjoy the iPhone Pano of Trier, Germany: Google Maps
