A few Pictures From My Trip To Germany

[Rattler]

My wife, son and I recently had a chance to go visit my sister and her family in Eppstein, Gemany for a couple weeks. I was to Sweden a few years ago to participate on a Swedish reality show so it wasn't my first trip to Europe but still a lot of fun! While there we visited Nuremberg, Rothenberg, Stutgart, Limberg and a few other places. I bought a Sigma 18-200 f/3.5 lens for my Canon T2i for the trip to save on lugging a couple lenses around. I could have wandered around those old churches for hours taking pics. I ended up with @ 1800 when I got home. Here are a few.

Marktkirche Evangelical Church in Wiesbaden

Porsche 911s have been my favorite car since I was a kid. Needless to say, a trip to the Porsche Museum was in order! This was taken in front of the museum in it's mirrored roof panels.

One of the several castles we visited.

A statue in front of the Statts Theater in Wiesbaden.

Some figures inside St. George's Cathedral in Limburg.

A view from the walls inside of Rothenberg.

This is where Hitler made several speeches, the Nazi Party Parade Grounds. It was very creepy to stand right where he did! Now it is where they hold concerts and auto races.

Nice pictures. It would indeed be very eery and creepy to be at the Nazi Party Rally Grounds. Talk about very evil "hallowed" grounds of history.

I moved this thread to the "completed adventures" area. The trip described doesn't meet the criteria for "expedition," which include


1. Primary purpose: Exploration in support of geographic, scientific or humanitarian endeavors.
2. Duration: Typically several weeks to many years.
3. Logistics: Detailed planning is required for environmental, geographic and geopolitical contingencies.
4. Route Finding: Navigation can be highly complicated, and many areas may have no mapping detail available, requiring extensive research and/or support from the local population.
5. Camping: Accommodations will range from remote camping to hostels due to weather conditions, security concerns or duration of travel. There also may be limited camping available, requiring use of local accommodations, hostels, military and church grounds, etc.
6. International Borders: Often includes crossing of multiple international borders.
7. Risk: Moderate to severe risk to personnel and equipment due to security issues or the extreme remoteness and difficulty of the journey.
