I gotta learn how to post pictures and I will post some. I know how to post everything but my own pictures. Slow learner.

All you gotta do is load them up to your computer, then join Photobucket (or some other site that allows you to keep your pictures) and then you can post them from there. It's not that hard, if I was able to do it I'm sure anyone can.

It's way past that time....

So, vis-a-vis this:

Greetings from the city of Görlitz, where I had an important business appointment today, one that went well. I will know in a couple of weeks how well it went.

I took some pics and made a couple of small films, thought that friends here might like them.


This is a memorial in a park close to where I've been staying:

The Germans call that a "Mahnmal" (memorial - warning)

Here is the inscription:

"Die Toten mahnen die Lebenden"
"The dead warn the living"

This is a German sportwear and sportsgear business:

"Muskelkater" doesn't have the meaning you think:

Muskel = Muscle
Kater = male cat

Muskelkater means the sore muscles some people get after workouts...


There are some impressive buildings in Görlitz:

The Church of Mary

And up-close:

Former Staatstheater, being converted into businesses.


The modern theater in Görlitz:

A flower clock on the lawn of the Theater:

This one is quite interesting:

The Cultural-Historical Museum of Görlitz, from the front side:

Up-close:

And from the back-side:

You can tell you are in a former East-German city when you see a street or a square with this name:

"Square of the 17th of June"

June 17, 1953, is the day that East Germans tried to rebell against their communist oppressors - and lost.



Some interesting house and door facades like these:

This one is called a "Wasserspeier":

Hundreds of years ago, superstitious people put those things on top of their buildings to scare away evil ghosts and such...


I found this crazy little man of metal in the entry-way to an alley:

Mr. Metalman's name is "Blechner". "Blech" means "brass" in English.


And here is a foot-bridge that goes directly over the river to Poland. I walked it:

That tower with the interesting artwork on it is now a polish restaurant by day, discotheque by night.

Here is the inscription-plaque of the bridge:

I walked it:

(Sorry, the vid quality from my Smartfon was not good, but you get the idea).

Just to think that not long ago, one couldn't cross this border without a passport check and armed sentries, and now, people just walk across.


Hope you liked this little photo-montage from some of the highlights of Görlitz. Pretty nice little place...

Spoiler: some folks I invited. :)

The names have not been deleted to protect the innocent!!

Thanks, Stat: great photos.

We will be spending a couple of weeks summer next on the southwest coast of the UK, so we might pop over for two days and a night.

i love germany. can't wait to go back. last time we were in europe we did something similar. walked from austria to slovakia. it was amazing to see the stark differences from the bavarian style houses and buildings on one side of the river and the non descript block appartments typical of the communist era on the other.

Er, was that you on the way to the coffee pot? Good morning.....to you.....

Beautiful pictures, Stat....glad you shared them with us.....some of us will only ever see Germany in pictures.....
