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:

One of the recurring themes in Limburg is red. Everywhere. On practically everything. Red here is hard to escape, but the splashes of color seem to fit the ambiance of the city. As you stroll these streets, you are being transported 800+ years into the past, and it shows everywhere you go. But you can’t escape those reds. Or… can you?

Ooops. Short reprieve. Right back in the red zone:

The many slate tile roofs are also a fun feature:

That’s it for today, as I leave you with these views of Limburg:
