  2. For your information:
    I have republished an old 2010 blog post about the Dreimäderlhaus, just before this one. The older one may be interesting especially for those who are looking for more information about the house at Mölkerbastei. Gentle readers shared links and information in the comments section of the previous post.

  6. The angle of the light is so perfect for the architectural details isn't it...
    Amazing how form follows function or is it the other way around...

  7. I love this series of beautiful Victoria taken from different perspectives. One feels as if one could fly with her in some of them.
