A Dog’s Perspective of the new Old Town
Dogs visit Frankfurt’s new old town. It took years of construction to more or less rebuild the ancient heart of the city between Römer City Hall and the Cathedral that was destroyed in WWII. Although not completely finished yet, it is now open for the public (and dogs). The shops and cafes still have to move in. In September there will be a huge 3 day celebration to welcome the old town into the city.

The Goat and Eiger Nordwand

A goat attempts to spoil this otherwise perfectly boring image of the Eiger (3,970 meters or 13,020 ft) in the Swiss Alps near Grindelwald, July.17.
The mountain’s north face seen here, named Nordwand, is the biggest north face in the Alps (1,800 meters or 5,900 ft) and one of the most challenging ascents in the world of mountain climbers.

Hello

Geese on a meadow in Oberursel near Frankfurt, Oct.5. St. Martin’s day on 11th November is the day when Martin of Tours is remembered, a saint of the Catholic Church. Eating a St. Martin’s goose dinner is a widely spread tradition in Germany. Thus it is quite unlikely that the geese in this picture will survive the next week.
