To Germany for Christmas time 2001
I travelled to Germany for the Christmas time year 2001. My parents and I went to a family holiday with my ancient but roomy Mercedes. It would not break down in Germany... and it didn't. A German masterpiece of engineering craft can take one more trip to Germany.
To our surprise there was lots of snow in Germany, and the Germans got their white Christmas. Traffic was slow, but we managed to avoid the tens of kilometers long traffic jams, where rescue teams delivered fuel and food to the travellers. To us the German white Christmas showed it best sides.
This set of pictures contains a couple of images from Sweden, near the highway, then very German views of landscapes at Christmas time near the Ruhr valley. Some pictures about the local "Devil's field", chalk stone area, about the local architecture and a the German Christmas market. And everything ends of course in brass music in beer tent, we are in Germany anyway.
Pictures are taken using Sony DSC-F505 2 megapixel digital camera, then framed and retouched lightly in Photoshop.
