My Trip in June
Europe and train travel are one and the same, for me. So train
stations like this one in Frankfurt fill my heart with romance.
They also have trash cans.
Andreas Grützmacher
I met this fine fellow through the web! He's a student at the HAB

They're hard to make out, but each steel pole marks a buried body

Right outside the fence, the SS maintained a small zoo

This trail through the Thuringian forests was followed by Goethe
