Snow, Sun and Shadow #1, Sans Souci, Potsdam

One of the main tourist attractions in Potsdam is Sans Souci, the summer palace building in the 1700s by Frederick the Great. As I was walking around the grounds,

Seeing Red

Posted on 2013/04/24 by clfoto

In English, the expression is that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, or vice versa. I would say Germany at the beginning of March came in more like a snow leopard. On March 9th Chris and I left Tübingen by train. It had been cold and gray in Tübingen that morning. On arrival in Berlin, we emerged from the Berlin train station to find a very cold and snowy afternoon. Continue reading →

While we were walking down the street on Sunday, Chris noticed as we turned the corner onto a neighboring street that there were these huge reflective spheres in a shop window. Which meant we had to stop so I could … Continue reading →

Nothing I know
gives you that glow
like sweet applause …

Or so the Broadway song from the 1970 musical Applause goes. Perhaps that’s true.

But it’s a different kind of glow you see when you get up to see a sunrise in Florida: Continue reading →

We had the chance to walk on the beach a few times during our trip to Florida. On each of our strolls,

Fribble Farewell

Posted on 2013/04/17 by clfoto

It started as a bit of a joke. For years Chris and I have said that the one thing we have to have on our trips by to the U.S is a Fribble at a Friendly’s restaurant. It started because after we moved to Europe, there were people — in both the U.S. and Europe — would always ask what foods we missed the most from North America.

Time for “Spring Break”

Posted on 2013/04/15 by clfoto

So we’re back in Tübingen again. We actually passed through Tübingen a couple of times in the past 6 weeks, just long enough to do some wash and re-pack the suitcases. This time, though, we have no immediate plans to head out on another trip, so I think I can safely stash those suitcases back in our storage room for a while. Continue reading →

Here and there

Posted on 2013/03/08 by clfoto

Here and there … that’s going to describe where Chris and I are going to be the rest of this month. We’re travelling a bit in Germany – Chris is an invited speaker at a conference, then after a break back in Tübingen it will be a quick dash to the U.S., and then back to Tübingen, followed by another German city where Chris will give yet another invited talk. Congratulations, Chris – you’re in demand! Continue reading →
