Attention to Details

When you are living for a while in one city, you start to overlook all the little details that surround you. Today was a grey and lazy sunday, but I had cabin fever, so I decided to go for a little walk. And I tried to pay more attention to all the details on my way. Here are some impressions:

The vehicle is ready, you just have to decide which way to go. Heaven or Hell?

Enjoy the Winter Sun

Today was such a nice and sunny day. Although I should have stayed at home to learn for my final exams, I decided to make a little trip to Titisee.

The sun was shining, the lake was frozen and there was still a bit of snow left. Just a perfect winter day!

Titisee needs a lot of time to freeze completely. When the ice is 16cm thick, parts of the lake are allowed to enter. That was not the case and because Titisee is a very touristic place, they put warnings in several languages.  

Red stars shining

At Christmas time the old town is decorated with a lot of lights.

Additional you can find a lot of red stars in the alleys.

December - Time of the Christmas markets

This year I visited for the first time the Christmas market in Ravennaschlucht. Underneath a railroad viaduct you can find around fourty lodges selling food, arts and crafts. Unfortunately there was no snow, but still it was a great and peaceful atmosphere.

 In comparison the Christmas market in Freiburg is much more busy. On the weekends you have to push yourself through the crowd to see the lodges or to get a glass of hot wine. Still, the smell of food and drinks and all the different groups performing carols, brings out the christmas spirit.

With the eyes of a tourist - Freiburg 2014

This summer was my last summer in Freiburg, because I will finish studying in february this year. I really enjoyed my time here, but I have not that many pictures from that great city. So I decided to do a tourist day in Freiburg with a friend of mine - walking around, taking pictures and trying to see the city with the eyes of an tourist.
