Magic in Your Windows
This house with tower or small castle or possibly mansion is situated just underneath the Heidelberg Castle. It’s reminiscent of Disney castles, isn’t it?

The Nagold in Pforzheim
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.
I was standing on the brigde, and looked towards the south and then towards north.

The Four Bridges of Heidelberg
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.

The Watergate in Heidelberg
This is Heidelberg, just before the Old Bridge beneath the Heidelberg Castle.
The windows of all four towers are old and identical.

On the river Neckar near Heidelberg. Sunday morning is the time to go on the water.

An Unlikely Quality
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence”
Bertrand Russell
This god might. If he were sober enough which is unlikely being Bacchus, the god of wine.
It’s also unlikely that I’ve ever met a younger god.

Anew into the Breach, Dear Friends!
The largest winefest in the world beckons anew this weekend. After sampling the local fare, I might be less than well versed when quoting Shakespeare.
A double dip because our tram leaves soon (a tram ride of almost 2 hours – but we’re not going to risk our driver’s licence).
