 Tristan and Isolde by Krumlovgirl
Tristan and Isolde were members of different tribes but when Tristan was injured at a battle in Ireland Isolde tended him and healed him with herbs. The king wanted to wed Isolde so he sent Tristan back to her to help him win her hand in marriage. She agrees to marry the king but on the journey back Tristan and Isolde drink a glass of wine together, not knowing that it had a love potion in it. Upon drinking it, they fall in love with one another. They continue the affair even after Isolde is married to the king. When he finds out, he condems Tristan to death. Tristan manages to escape though, and later the king finds out that it wasn't their fault, that they acted out of the magic potion. He forgives them but eventually Tristan dies from his love and Isolde soon follows out of sorrow.
Now, if you have ever watched "Legends of the Fall" you'll know that the Tristan in THAT story wasn't so different than the one in the legend. Leave a Comment

 The Two Castles by Nexus7Leave a Comment

I like Fuessen because it's an easy town to explore and, from time to time, turns up little gems like this.
We were actually lost.......no, let me rephrase that, misplaced, when I heard the unmistakeable sound that every waterfall lover longs to hear, the noise of crashing water and, judging by the crescendo, there was plenty of it yet, though it was obviously nearby, I couldn't see it.
Rosemarie was keen to get back to the hotel as the evening drew to a close and darkness was about to prevail.
No matter, I raced towards the sound and got off a couple of snaps before heading back. I promised myself I would return on an early morning walk.
I'm so pleased I kept that promise. On the old Augustus way you would have passed quite close to the point where today's man made cascades now roar as they descend the river Lech.
When I returned snow had fallen, the sun had broken through the clouds and it was almost picture perfect. The first two pics are some of my favourite pictures of Germany.
The second one features the bust of Maxmillian set in the cliff. Do yourself a favour if you visit here and check it out. Leave a Comment

In 1748 and 1749 there was constructed in Fussen a building that, in its own right, is reasonably attractive. However, what makes it one of Fussen's standout attractions is the lueftlmalerein on the front.
I defy anyone to walk down Spitelstrasse and not notice the dramatic confronting colours. From any angle it's a winner.
It was the last day.....indeed, it was the last hour of my second visit to Fuessen and I determined that I would use the train-waiting time to duck down and see the interior of the Holy Ghost Church.
It was more elaborate than I imagined. Along with the requisite altar-side columns and the usual painting in the middle (pic 2), the church, along with the others in Fuessen, had a lighter atmosphere about it than many other European churches I had visited which was brought about mainly by the bright colours used in the ceiling painting (pic 3).
I also noted that there were balconies where, I assume, those of higher status would be seated above the flock (pic 4). Leave a Comment
