Our walk down the lower castle hill continues in this set, plenty of historic and some oddly shaped buildings here and even a famous artisanal mustard manufacturing place with an offering of over 90 different mustard varieties produced - and on certain weekdays their production can be visited.

Extremely nice series!! Who doesn’t like Europe!!

The stonework in your photographs attracts and pleases my eye. I have toured Europe three times. I was surprised by the wide use of stonework there.

They certainly like their colors. Fascinated by the buildings in 5 and 7, the way they were “isolated “.

Thank you very much Dennis for looking in on the series again and your kind comment - I am glad to hear that you enjoyed this set - and I certainly do like Europe, of course my roots lie over there and even our children live over there again, so I am drawn back all the time.

Thank you for your kind comment and your appreciation. It is interesting that stonework is used almost exclusively for construction in the old world, the timber frame houses that we are familiar with here in North America basically don't exist over there, except actually in these "half-timbered" houses which use a timber frame filled with solid stones or bricks. These are very prevalent in many parts of Germany particularly, but there are regional pockets of them also in Switzerland.

Thank you Barbara, happy to hear that you like the colors. There is actually a interesting fact about the buildings in 5 and 7: Together with one other small building, the sort of form like an island in the street. You can see it well in #5, the uphill building, how the street wraps around this building, then there is one other small house in-between and then comes the building in #7, slightly downhill. These 3 buildings have adjoining construction, no gap in-between.

Another excellent set. I particularly like photograph #10.

Thank you Richard for your kind comment - #10 shows a small side street, the Hotel Bär is the place we were staying at, it looks quite a bit more representative when seen from the front and was quite good place - glad you liked this shot.
