And the journey starts ...

One week ago on the same snowshoe tour, with perfect weather and nice views.

Somewhere in Bavaria...

Spent the day on a snowshoe hike in Upper Bavaria, ending with a beautiful sunset.

“Fleisch Bridge, Pegnitz River” — The Pegnitz River flows through Nürnberg near the Fleisch Bridge.

This photograph comes from our late-autumn visit to Nürnberg, Germany.. This is a large city, but we spent the entire time within the confines of the old city. We were there for three days, on a visit timed for the city’s famous Christmas market.
