Pointing at the sky

Two very different ways to listen to voices from the skies...

Roofs

Old-town roofs directly below the castle.

From "Faust II"

The street above this metro station is called "Goethestrasse", so the walls are covered with wisdom from Goethe's works. I love this one, the "Türmerlied" from Faust II. In the real world, all lines are straight of course ;-)

View from the castle

The upper part of Burgstrasse, the old town, and a piece of the castle wall.

Locksmiths and metalworkers

This is a modern variation of the old tradition of craftsmen to use a picture as a sign for their shop -- probably because people couldn't read, or maybe just because it was a way to show off their art.

Big church

A cathedral is like a small mountain, with lots of detail when you get closer. Here is a part of Albrecht-Dürer-Platz reflected in a part of the north facade of St. Sebald.

(St. Sebald was largely destroyed during WWII and rebuilt later.)

More sun, please!

In the sunshine it was already warm enough to sit outside, at least in the cafés that provide woolen blankets for their guests ;-) These tables need some more direct sun to get rid of what was hopefully the last snow of the year.

It's very picturesque and everything, snow and sunshine, but I could use some spring soon!
