The night before, there have been about 10 cm of fresh snow. On my walk through the fields, I discovered this track tangle of pedestrians, cyclists and dogs. Today almost all snow is gone.

The door looks like as if only a lot of good can be found behind ;-) ... seen in Zarautz, Spain..

Zarautz is a coastal town located in the province of Gipuzkoa, in the Basque Country, northern Spain.

The town is a popular tourist destination with the population swelling from its usual 22,812 to around 60,000 in summer. The Palace of Narros, located adjacent to Zarautz's 2.8 km long beach, is where Queen Isabella II and Fabiola of Belgium once spent their summer holidays. The beach is known for being the longest in the Basque Country and one of longest of the Cantabrian cornice.

At the end of the 19th Century and beginning of the 20th Century, the popularity of Zarautz as a luxury tourist destination grew, and many well-known people began to holiday there. A number of lavish houses and mansions sprang up, particularly along the beach. Nowadays, many of these buildings have become public buildings or have been demolished and replaced by chic apartment buildings.

During the 70s and 80s Zarautz became a more affordable destination, and is now perhaps best known for its surfing and water sports. (Wikipedia)

Der 2,5 km lange und 80 m breite Strand ist bei Surfern und anderen Wassersportlern beliebt. (Wikipedia)

From my sons I've got a GPS tagger as Christmas present. Since 2 years I wanted to buy one but I never knew which one I should take. Therefore I'm really happy about this gift!
These days I have tested the tagger and have tried it first in my neighborhood in the late afternoon. The tagger works very well and is easy to handle.
I've taken the shot above during this test walk ... nothing spectacular but I like it somehow and on the left you can see my beloved walnut tree.

Sunny autumn afternoon at the pond with ducks and one swan in a park in Bad Wimpfen, Germany.

Bad Wimpfen is a historic spa town in the district of Heilbronn in the Baden-Württemberg region of southern Germany. It is situated on the west bank of the River Neckar, around 15 km to the north of Heilbronn.
The town is divided in two parts: The older Wimpfen im Tal (Lower Wimpfen/ literally Wimpfen in the valley) situated at the Neckar and Wimpfen am Berg (Upper Wimpfen/ literally Wimpfen on the hill) containing the town centre. Besides of the town itself the village Hohenstadt also belongs to Bad Wimpfen.
In present-day Bad Wimpfen the town is impressive both due to its various spa institutions and due to its numerous fine historic buildings. The historical old part of the town is protected completely. Since 1976 a comprehensive program of redevelopment resulted in an important restoration of most buildings. Due to the recession of the 1990s, private initiatives have now superseded the earlier state interventions, but generally development speed has decreased and settled. (Wikipedia)

Bad Wimpfen ist eine Kurstadt am Neckar im Landkreis Heilbronn in Baden-Württemberg. Die Stadt war einst mittelalterliche Stauferpfalz, später Freie Reichsstadt und von 1803 bis 1945 eine hessische Exklave.
Bad Wimpfen liegt am linken Ufer des Neckars etwa 10 km nordnordwestlich von Heilbronn (Luftlinie). Sein älterer Teil, Wimpfen im Tal, zieht sich längs des Flusses in seiner dort recht breiten linken Aue. Etwas westlich davon steht Wimpfen am Berg auf dem zum Kraichgau hin ansteigenden oberen Hang links des Flusstals. Dort wurde im Mittelalter die Stauferpfalz und das Stadtzentrum auf einem Ostsporn über dem Prallhang des darunter nach Norden abbiegenden Flusses und eines kleinen, diesem stumpf aus Südwesten zulaufenden Nebentals erbaut; die neueren Stadtteile breiten sich in flacherem Anstieg vor allem nach Westen aus.
In der Gegenwart beeindruckt Bad Wimpfen gleichermaßen durch seine Kureinrichtungen als auch durch seinen reichen Bestand an Bau- und Kunstdenkmälern aus zwei Jahrtausenden. Die historische Altstadt ist komplett denkmalgeschützt. Ein umfangreiches Sanierungsprogramm konnte ab 1976 zur Aufwertung der meisten historischen Gebäude beitragen. Seit der Rezession der 1990er-Jahre geht jedoch die weitere Sanierung von Bau- und Kunstdenkmälern zumeist nur noch auf private Initiative zurück (Wikipedia). (Wer noch mehr lesen möchte ... in Wikipedia ist ausführlich über die Geschichte zu lesen.)

Blue Hour in Schluchsee

It was a beautiful day and evening in Schluchsee (Black Forest, Germany) and same named lake.
I hadn't have my tripod with me. So I helped myself with a railing next to the footpath ;-).

The Schluchsee is a reservoir lake in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, southeast of the Titisee in the Black Forest near Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The Schluchsee, with its height of 930 metres above sea level, is the highest reservoir in Germany and also the largest lake in the Black Forest. By contrast the Hornberg Basin (Hornbergbecken), is 1,048 metres above sea level, but is the upper basin of a pumped storage hydropower station, rather than a reservoir.
The water of the reservoir is relatively cool even in summer because of its high elevation.
The best-known settlements around the Schluchsee are on its northern shores and include the eponymous town of Schluchsee and the hamlets of Seebrugg by the dam itself and Aha. The Three Lakes Railway, an extension of the Höllentalbahn, runs from Titisee station along the northern shore to the terminus at Seebrugg.
The Schluchsee is surrounded by numerous walking trails in the local area. The entire length of the shoreline, about 18 km long, is walkable, mostly level and suitable for prams. From May to October the walks may be combined with boat trips on the pleasure cruiser St. Nikolaus (en.wikipedia).

View Large On Black

Der Schluchsee ist ein Stausee bei St. Blasien im Landkreis Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald in Baden-Württemberg. Er liegt südöstlich des Titisees und ist der größte See des Schwarzwaldes.
Der Schluchsee war ursprünglich ein Gletschersee, dessen Spiegel rund 30 Meter unter dem des heutigen Sees lag, der erst durch Anstauung der Schwarza entstand. Dieser ist heute in Richtung Nordwest – Südost 7,3 Kilometer lang und 1,4 Kilometer breit, die tiefste Stelle auf dem Grund liegt 61m unter der Seeoberfläche.
Der Schluchsee hat ein Stauziel von 930 m ü. NN und liegt damit hinter der höchstgelegene Talsperrensee Deutschlands. Noch höher ist mit 1048 m ü. NN das Stauziel des Hornbergbeckens, das Oberbecken des Pumpspeicherwerks Wehr ist, jedoch hat dieses keine Talsperre.
Die bekanntesten Ortschaften um den Schluchsee liegen an seiner Nordostseite, darunter der Hauptort der Gemeinde Schluchsee etwas unterhalb der Seemitte sowie deren Ortsteile Aha im oberen, nordwestlichen Seebereich und Seebrugg an der Staumauer. Die Dreiseenbahn, das verlängerte Ende der Höllentalbahn, fährt vom Bahnhof Titisee aus am nördlichen Seeufer entlang bis zum Endbahnhof Seebrugg.
Wegen der Höhenlage ist das Wasser auch im Sommer relativ kühl.
Der Schluchsee ist von einer Vielzahl von Wanderwegen umgeben. Der ganze See kann umwandert werden, diese etwa 18 Kilometer lange Tour ist weitgehend eben und für Kinderwagen geeignet. Die Wanderungen können von Mai bis Oktober mit Fahrten auf dem Ausflugslinienschiff St. Nikolaus kombiniert werden (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schluchsee).
