Towards Pleasant Surroundings

[Mira]

That is the literal translation to the sign on the bottom of the second photo here.

Today I was in a small town in "The Pfalz", an area of Germany very close to the French border, where the ruin of a castle I already showed you sits on top of a mountain overlooking the town. It's the location of the forest cemetery where we buried my brothers urn today.

The first photo is of that forest, but not with any graves. Just strange beauty.



Here the photo directing us to the pleasant surroundings on the right - which as I’m learning could easily be kilometers away, and people would walk it without complaint while in general staying slim and trim. The top of the sign names a small mountain, could or not be the pleasant surroundings.




The other photos are of what I think are very pleasant surroundings indeed. So I took a few photos of them to share.

3. I see your point

it was early Friday afternoon, not many people walking. So I was able to leave them out of my photos by waiting a bit for them to pass.

5. I'm currently planning a trip back to Germany.

My wife retires on December 2. A trip to Germany will make a great celebration trip. Looking at the Amberg area for our base.

I haven't been there since 1975.

Lovely photos, as usual Mira.
