A Day in Limburg an der Lahn, Germany — The Sun Comes Out!

Stadtkirche St. Sebastian, Bischofsplatz (Bishop’s Square), Limburg, Germany

You may have noticed in my earlier Limburg an der Lahn photos that we were a bit gloomy. Well, we weren’t. The skies were. For instance, notice the cloudy conditions in the above photograph of Stadtkirche St. Sebastian (Limburg Town Church) on Bischofsplatz (Bishop’s Square). Fortunately, those conditions did not hold as the day progressed:

You may recall from last week’s Fun Photo Friday that I found Fiedel Hensler’s bicycle. While that was offered in jest, there is indeed a Kunstbäckerei Hensler (Hensler Art Bakery), located at Kolpingstraße 1, and it was there that I found the bicycle. I also found some really fun decorations that are well worth your time.

Make sure you take the time to zoom in on the really neat carvings here:

Now I’ll leave you with today’s gallery:

Slava Ukraini

One year ago, brutal fascist dictator Vladimir Putin gleefully invaded his peaceful, non-threatening neighbor Ukraine. Since Day One, Putin’s disgraced, incompetent, and unprofessional armed forces have targeted civilians and destroyed critical infrastructure in an attempt to terrorize Ukrainians into capitulating.

That stupidity hasn’t worked.

It is now time to declare Russia a terrorist state; brand as war criminals Vladimir Putin, his generals, and Yevgeny Prigozhin; and issue international arrest warrants for all.

When Putin’s barbarous regime falls, any country choosing to grant him sanctuary should suffer severe international sanctions until such time as this crimial is relinquished and sent to answer for his heinous crimes.

Today, instead of a gallery, I’m just going to post the individual pictures with captions. Let me know if you prefer this, which is a bit more labor intensive but still fun.
