I posted a more scenic panorama of Tübingen last week, where the subject matter would be fit to be on a scenic postcard from Tübingen. Today, I’ve got another panorama from Tübingen …  just a little less scenic:

"Postcard" from Tübingen

From this vantage point we’re looking toward the “newer part” of Tübingen, which dates from the 1800s,  not toward the old city part that I usually feature in my photos. That’s the big power plant chimney tower over on the right, with the red roofs of some of the university buildings, plus some residential buildings, scattered around in the rest of the photo. There’s also a small bit of a river to the left of the chimney that you can see if you click to open the larger version of the photo . The river’s tiny (Chris actually didn’t see it right away in the photo),  but it’s there.

BTW, Chris’s office is out there somewhere in this section of town. It’s not visible in this photo, since it’s not tall enough to stick up above the rooftops. But trust me, it’s out there somewhere on the left.

Personally, I don’t think this take on Tübingen is exciting enough for a postcard. However, I dressed it up to look like a postcard, with that fancy label on the top left, similar to what you might find on a real postcard. The label is actually covering the blank spot that was there after the individual photos were merged together. Necessity is the mother of invention, and all that.

However, I should mention that I was a bit taken aback one day when I walked by a postcard display here in town, and noticed that the utility plant chimney actually is featured on a local postcard all on its own. Go figure. I guess tourists will buy a postcard of anything.

But really – what do you write on the back of that postcard? “Having a wonderful time, wish you were here?”

I’m just saying … 😉
