The beamishboy recently invaded Germany and remained there until a few days ago. Anyway, this entry is mainly for the benefit of a friend of mine who's an architect (no, no, no, not a student who aspires to be an architect but a highly renowned architect of advanced years!!!) who will no doubt take a deep interest in the architecture of the following buildings.
This is a night pic taken of the Dom at Romer in Frankfurt. The spire is undergoing serious restoration work, as can be seen on one side of it.
This is a view taken from the top of the tower of the cathedral in Nordlingen. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this town was filmed also from an aerial view. That was the part when everyone went in the lift that zoomed out of earth - I don't quite remember the story now; it's been such a long time since I last took any interest in Roald Dahl.
This is a pic Lonely Planet might wish to buy from me. It's possibly the best photograph I took in my entire holiday. It's the Rathaus (not a house for rats but a town hall) in Bamberg. The bridge divides the town into the ecclesiastical part of town (on the left) and the secular part of town (on the right). The town hall was placed in the centre to show impartiality.
