SHADOWS
These photos with shadows were taken Sept. 2013 in Soest, Germany, where I was born. The town has an ancient wall around it and dates back to Roman times. It was my first trip back in 41 years. Click HERE to view a video presentation.

That looks a beautiful place! The shadows add to the photos. I enjoy taking photos in early morning and late evening just for fun, as the shadows are longer.
Thanks, Clowie. Soest is beautiful, but I’m biased. 🙂 I was thrilled to see it hadn’t changed much in all those years. Shadows do make interesting photos. Have a good weekend.
Looks like a nice place. It’s amazing how those old Roman structures remain in use in our time. We don’t build for longevity like that anymore.

Tossing It Out
Soest is beautiful, but of course, I’m biased. 🙂 Europe is full of such architecture. That’s why I love it so much. Thanks for dropping in. Have a good weekend!
Great photos and love your photo slide on YouTube! Some great pics of the old towers and these homes and streets….oh how I want to go there because every town shows something. In the early 1950’s my mom lived in Dortmund and the surrounding area.
Thanks, Birgit. That video was fun to put together. Dortmund is ~45 minutes away from Soest by car and en route to my grandparents’ former home in Bochum. I know it well! 🙂 Have a good weekend.
I loved the waterfront. It must be so wonderful for people to wake up to that scene 😀
That part of town is my favourite. 🙂 Thanks for dropping in and have a good weekend.
In the village where I live, there is also Roman steps and also part of a theater that is still standing. It is amazing how skilled the Romans were.
Excellent pics.

The history is what I love so much about Europe! 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed the photos, Pat. Thanks for visiting.
Sorry my bad!!! Gorgeous Germany.
Yes; a little bit different from The U.S. 🙂 This is the town where I was born.
Gorgeous images of United States. The pictures makes me wanna visit one day:)
Thank you, but the United States was last week. 🙂 See post link “SATURATION”. As you noted above, this is Germany.
Hi, Shady; Thanks for viewing my various creative endeavours. Going back to Soest was number two on the travel bucket list and visiting Greece was number one, so this was the trip of a lifetime. 🙂 Everyone loves their hometown and I’m no different. It really is beautiful and historic. Clean is the norm in Germany and all over Europe, there’s a great zeal to preserve history, so buildings are refurbished rather than demolished, in most cases. I was impressed how good my old apartment building looked – even better than I remember it from the ’60s. Interesting about your ancestors! I’ve never been to Sylt, but it’s known to be a playground for the wealthy. You have a good weekend, too.
Lovely photos. Never been to this part of the world. Maybe someday..
Thanks, Shantala. 🙂 Travel is getting so expensive now, we’ll likely not get back there. I’d love to visit India as well, but it’s so far!
Love these pictures, especially the duck. 🙂
Thanks, Myke. 🙂 The duck is endearing. That pond was my favourite place in the whole town; still is!
Lovely photos! I especially liked the first one.
Thanks, Angelika. 🙂 Yes, the shadow of the tree trunk looks like a hand.
