Yes, we think we are a running club (of sorts). But we get older, or injured, or just lazy. And we become walkers. We are not running through the country side anymore, we are traipsing. Sometimes we even traipse through the towns and cities. Of … Continue reading Traipsing through the Terrain
Not necessarily in that order. But often exactly in that order. I forgot to mention there were also tents involved, and fire (with lots of smoke). And there were dogs. Definitely dogs. The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Life in Black & White
In Pforzheim at the northern end of the Blackforest is the confluence of the Nagold in the Enz – or vice versa. The Nagold is the longer river, has more water, and a much larger catchment area, however, according to tradition the Nagold flows into the Enz. I guess, the Enz just had better PR.

Over a stretch of 3.5 km there are four bridges in Heidelberg. In this photo I managed to catch all four of them. The one in the foreground, barely recognisable as a bridge, is the footpath on top of the waterlock.
The next one is the Old Bridge just underneath the Heidelberg Castle. Although many years ago it was open to cars but now it is exclusively open to pedestrians, mainly tourists.
The third one, named after the first president of the Federal Republic of Germany, Theodor Heuss, is also a two lane road with a wide pedestrian lane and an extra bicycle track. Where it crosses the river Neckar the old part of Heidelberg (and the long pedestrian-only stretch ends.
The last one, the Ernst-Walz-Brücke named after the Mayor of Heidelberg in the first part of the 20th century, is a four lane road, not particularly pretty but utilitarian and very important for Heidelberg’s traffic flow. The bridge pylons can just bee seen in the last photo.
