I can see clearly now, the rain has gone (for now)
Nuremberg, visiting Albrecht Dürer’s house, the one on the bottom left
Imperial Castle of Nuremberg in the background, Tiergärtnertor, 12th century tower on the left
Among other accomplishments Albrecht Dürer is credited with the invention of ray-tracing, in the 16th century! Another shot of his house (the roof anyway), bottom right this time
St. Sebald - Sebalduskirche Nürnberg in the background
St Lorenz church, restored after WWII
Part of the Ehekarussell at Ludwigsplatz
Controversial fountain with ring of statues portraying Hans Sachs’ poem ‘Bitter-sweet Married Life’.
Some darker history, Zeppelinfeld, The building on the right is where Hitler made his speeches
Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds, horsehoe shaped building across the water.
Pathe 1936
Currently it’s part of a race track, Norisring. The start is in front of the grand stand
Next up, Mannheim. The Wasserturm, a 60m sandstone water tower from 1889
Mannheim is home to a giant baroque palace, Barockschloss Mannheim
The Jesuit church from the 1700’s, beautiful building inside and out
Hockenheim circuit, not far South from Mannheim
Sebastian Vettel’s Pole Lap on Home Soil
Karsruhe on the way South, following the Rhine
Strasbourg, a little bit of France in between
The historic center looks great
Dominated by Cathédrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg
Build from 1187 to 1439, 252 years to build!
Barrage Vauban, pink sandstone weir & bridge built in the 17th century
Zurich, overcast
Grossmünster and Fraumünster church, 12th and 11th century
The train station and Swiss National Museum on the bottom right
Back to the Rhine, into the Alps, Vaduz, Liechtenstein
Reichenau, Vorderrhein straight, Hinterrhein left. I’m following the Vorderrhein
Rheinschlucht, spectacular canyon-like gorge
Raron, gloomy weather and winter textures
Following the Rhône now. I’ll be turning left soon towards the Matterhorn
Climding towards the Matterhorn, Les Diablons barely visible
It took a couple spirals to gain enough height
I descended down to Zermat for a brief glimpse of the Matterhorn
That little triangle sticking out against the dark background
It took a couple switchbacks to gain enough height again to pass by the Matterhorn. However, it wasn’t visible at all, the clouds decided to hide it completely. Final approach to Aosta
Unlit runway, just enough visibility to land
Hopefully the weather will clear up enough tomorrow to see Mont Blanc.
