Not really a trip report but the beginning of my travel pictures from our trip in Germany in May.

Very nice photos! Danke!!

Michael, as usual, these are wonderful! Thanks for sharing

fantastic pics

Nice photos, so colorful. Thanks for the 'photo report.'

Beauriful! These make me want to start planning a trip to Germany! It's amazing that here were so few people on the street in May. Looks like the time to go!

Actually, there were quite a few people around. Getting a room in Würzburg and Bamberg was a problem, and while we were not aware of the problem in Leipzig, we were there during there annual Goth weekend--hundreds if not thousands of them around in the city.

Beautiful! Thanks for posting them.

Loved your pictures! The flowers were lovely. I am glad to see that someone else is fascinated with manhole covers and their shapes and patterns. (I think that is what they are anyway--the round or square metal grids on the streets that provide access to wires, pipes, etc. under the pavement.)

Did I miss the narrative that goes along with these pictures?

It has not yet been created. I need to edit the pictures to recall what we saw before I can write up a report.

Here are the rest of our Germany travel pictures (Berlin excepted)

Your idea of photographing the manhole covers to "announce" each city is quite clever! I love these pics. Keep them coming!

Fabulous photos. Thanks for sharing.

Those are so cool, Michael. Love them!

I've now integrated my pictures into geographical sets:

Micahel - Could you just tell us your itinerary and how you got around?
