I love that city :) It's just a really nice place with a wonderful mix of old and new. I've been through the castle before, but this was my first venture up the tower. It was worth it for the view, which was grand with my head spinning a little after going round and round and round and round up those little steps! lol

The cathedral inside is absolutely AMAZING

Yesterday I got to see a war monument and a really lovely view of the surrounding countryside from up there. As always my pics don't really do it justice… The walk up through the wood was amazing!

The English. It's an absolutely stunning spot, standing up there, seeing that view and the forrest and thinking about the history… It's a sad and beautiful place.

oh man, you're killing me with these shots! what a daily walk. wow.
you're reminding me of a time in my life that i road in a bus along the pacific coast highway in southern california. there was a stretch that ran right along the beach. and riding home in the evening the only thing to see out the window of the bus was the sand, the shore with little lapping waves, the great blue, green on the pacific ocean and the sun setting and the evening sky.
and i remember looking at this man sitting across the aisle and he was fast asleep. his hands were loose in his lap, his shoulders were hunched forward, his chin was tucked into his chest and he was drooling onto his tie!
and i remember thinking, how can anybody sleep through this?! i wanted to shout: 'just look out there!' but the sun was setting and i didn't want to be distracted any more.
wow, thanks for that memory... :)

Out and about yesterday… A wonderful view, an amazing lake on the mountainside and a monastery, which I didn't photograph from the outside, as it was raining at the time. The stained glass windows in there are incredible!
