Nostalgia or State-of-the-art?
I don’t normally use my cell phone for photography except for classroom purposes (homework, tests, attendance lists and the like) but I’ve been so mixed-up lately that I managed to take not two but three empty camera batteries along on our last outing.

King Ludwig I. of Bavaria built a classicist villa above the village of Edenkoben in the Palatinate (part of Bavaria in the mid 19th century) and below the castle ruin of Riedburg. The villa offers a panoramic view across the Rhine Valley to the Odenwald on the other side of the river. In 1954 a chair lift was built to the top of the hill. The pamphlet proclaims that the chairlift is technically up-to-date but the newest thing we could find were the “please wear a mask” Corona warnings which were stuck to the masts. The seats looked decidedly prehistoric, and kind of unsafe, and a bit rusty. But there has never been an accident in 67 years and apparently, the modern technical side is hidden behind the scenes.
