Pictures from my walk yesterday ***PIC HEAVY***
So it was a gorgeous day yesterday and I decided to go for a walk on the river Main, that flows right through Frankfurt. I took my camera with me and here are some pictures of that walk

The cathedral of Frankfurt






It is springtime (a bit early maybe but it definitely looks like spring to me)


A close up of the blossoms




A close up of the close up


People enjoying the sun




Some doves






And a bridge called "Der Eiserne Steg" (The Iron Footbridge)

4. Good morning girlfriend
:hi: :loveya:

Yes, that is a pretty cool pictures. I like taking pics of doors, my mom kinda started it. She has a bunch of pictures of doors on her wall (taken by me and her bf) and now, whenever one of us sees a nice door, we take a picture of it.

How was your weekend?

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

10. And thank goodness for that!
I swear, putting my daughter's wedding together was more work than my own! No regrets though; it was definitely a labor of love!

And thanks for the pic! Another gorgeous one!

34. That's probably better than I would do.
I tease you because a lot of photographers will write down what they take a photo of so they have a record of it. It's a weird and kinda nerdy thing, I guess. :shrug: Me? I like weird and nerdy. :rofl:

when I was using my film SLR I wrote on the envelope the pics came in the place and date the pics were taken. Now I just start a new folder with the date or place :rofl:

I hated that with my old camera. It took 4 AA. My new one only takes 2!! :bounce:

I really need to take some more pictures. Hubby's graduation is next weekend, so that's a great excuse!!

I can't wait to see more of yours.

I have a spare battery
but I just forgot to take it with me. If took a bunch of macro pictures, the zooming there takes a lot of battery, I didn't think about it :banghead:. Oh well, the battery died on me toward the end of the walk, so that was OK.

You will be seeing more of them. I promised I'll flood the Lounge with my pics till you beg me to stop :rofl:

15. Great shots MHC!
The cathedral ones are wonderful. It's such an historic building. It was built in the 14th and 15th Centuries and Holy Roman Emperors were crowned there. I used to love visiting it when I lived there.

26. I was really surprised when I saw it
also the forsythia is blooming as well already. The forsythia is a plant, that has to bloom for me at Eastern. Eastern is only in 4 weeks :wow:

29. Forsythia: yellow flowers.
For us, it's a time when we must fertilize our lawns, when the forsythia blooms.

It's months away for we here in Maine. You are lucky!

Algiers or Tunis, YET you have Spring, and my yard is still DEAD! It is not fair...

Damn Gulf Stream doesn't help us a bit.

27. But Ashville lies higher than Frankfurt
and we didn't really had a winter here this year so I would say it has something to do with that. Don't worry, I remember in 1995 I was in Charlotte, NC and had a sunburn on my nose in March ...

I especially love the third one!
And isn't the weather beautiful? I hope it'll stay like this for a while! Even though I'm mainly indoors, painting that dining room.

44. Great shooting! Especially those birds
They don't sit and pose, like a cathedral does. Good shooting to get them in the frame like that.

Frankfurt looks nice, even without snow.

:thumbsup:

We need more pictures of Miss Hc.

   Damn! Can't even remember how to spell "remember" {*mutter... grumble... mutter*}!

   Yes, cherry blossoms are beautiful -- having grown up in Washington DC I remember them fondly -- but it is MY not-at-all-humble opinion that Semperdolce Honig-Kirche is one of Mother Earth's most beautiful blossoms! :*

48. Thanks so much
for the tour of your city. I especially liked the second pic, of the cathedral (upshot). I remember that you like to take pics from that angel. Very nice.

Glad you had good weather and were able to get out and about. Yesterday was nice here too, but I was feeling lethargic so I just read all day.

50. Good morning Simply
I was lethargic Saturday, even though we had nice weather that day as well already. But I went out Saturday evening instead.

Yesterday it would have been a sin to stay inside.

Glad you like the pictures

Yes, I should have taken advantage of the good weather yesterday, but just was not motivated. I know, that's bad. Oh well . . .

Gotta head out to work. Wishing you a great day and chat with you later.

But, none of those pictures look like they they were taken in the United States of America(the best country ever...GO USA).. Germany, I looked for it on a map of the 50, can't find it.. You are very good at Photoshop.


I have been drinking... Please ignore me.

We are getting more moderate early spring weather here, finally, but we're still a good 8 weeks before blossoms.

The cathedral is spectacular.

What sort of trees are in the fourth picture? Are there many parks in Frankfurt, where people can sit out and enjoy the sun?
