Monday Window: Bamberg, Germany

A previous post featured the doors of Bamberg during a walking tour. Here are some windows in that charming city. Schlenkerla Brewery: Neue Residenz (former palace of ruling prince-bishops): Town Hall (Rathaus) with murals painted on the outside walls – the windows are not particularly interesting but the painting around them is: See more windows […]

Monday Windows: Cruising Amsterdam

For Ludwig’s Monday Window challenge, these are some photos taken on a private boat cruise through the canals and rivers of Amsterdam.

Wurzburg Windows

For the photo challenges Ludwig Keck’s Monday Windows and Becky’s October Square, this post on Würzburg features the windows and lines of the city’s historic architecture. (The first two photos are squares.) This one is my favorite window photo. (There are squares and geometric lines in it too!) The Baroque architecture of the prince-bishop’s palace, […]

Monday Window: Miltenberg

This is my third post about picturesque Miltenberg, Germany, on the Main River in northern Bavaria. These are a few of the windows in this historic town. Monday Window is a weekly feature and photo challenge sponsored by Ludwig Keck.

Monday Windows: Marksburg Castle

For last week’s Thursday Doors challenge, I posted about Marksburg Castle, one of only two Rhine River hill castles that was never destroyed. We visited Marksburg during our river cruise last June. Today, I feature some of the windows of Marksburg for Ludwig Keck’s Monday Windows challenge. Here is Marksburg Castle from below: The castle […]

Monday Window: Mont St. Michel

This one is a repeat from my Mont-St.-Michel post, but it’s one of my faves! Thanks to Ludwig for offering this weekly challenge! Taken at Mont-St.-Michel, France with Sony Alpha 68 with 300mm […]

Caen’s Church of Saint-Pierre

Lens-Artists: My Favorite Things

My Favorite Things is the subject of Lens-Artists’ photo challenge this week. I love cats, especially my sweet tortie Hazel. I love flowers and enjoy taking good photos of them. There is plenty of this subject matter at Chicago Botanic Gardens! This is their May foxglove display. My favorite thing in the world is traveling, […]

Thursday Doors: Sigma Alpha Epsilon National Headquarters (OHC 2018)

During Open House Chicago 2018, we visited several sites in Evanston, including the national headquarters of the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Regardless of my personal opinion of this fraternity’s history of hazing (for which it has been disciplined at least nine times) as well as of fraternities in general, the headquarters building is an austere […]

Thursday Doors: Lake Street Church (OHC 2018, Part 7)

Although founded as Evanston Baptist Church in 1858, according to their welcome brochure, Lake Street Church is now a “progressive community of spiritual seekers from across multiple denominations” and is “rooted in the free-church tradition,” […]
