Normally I take the same route to school in the mornings, crossing over the Neckarbrücke on the side of the bridge near the “postcard shot” buildings. However, the other morning I actually crossed the street and walked down the other side of the bridge. That allowed me to take a photo of the Neckar from that vantage point, which looks away from town.

BTW, for the longest time I have been meaning to post about a crosswalk sign that you occasionally see here in Tübingen. Not all the crosswalks in Tübingen have this sign, but I enjoy it when I spot it. It’s striking to this North American since the figure in the crosswalk is not a generic figure:

Crosswalk for men wearing hats

What do you think — only men in hats can cross in this location? 😉

But I digress. That sign is not actually near the Neckarbrücke, but talking about crossing the street reminded me of that photo, which I’d never had a chance to post on the blog before.

But what I really wanted to show today was the other side of the Neckar in the morning mist:

Morning mist, Neckar River, February 2012

This photo was taken this week, after all the ice that you saw in this earlier photo had melted.

Enjoy.

P.S. I am going to try to put a few responses to comments directly with the comments on the posts. Be sure to check the comments section for new “comments” from me with my replies.

P.P.S. A quick message to people in my class, apologizing for not having a blog post in German this week: Zu allen Leute in meinem Kurs: ich habe keine Zeit diese Woche, zu viele Sätze auf Deutsch zu schreiben. 🙁 Ich hoffe, dass ich nächste Woche mehr Zeit haben werde. Aber, vielen Dank für die ermutigende Wörte über das Schreiben auf Deutsch an meinem Blog. Schönes Wochenende und bis Montag!
