I just spent another couple of weeks in Germany on a short family visit. Just to catch you up, here’s a few pictures of Stuttgart in February (mouse over the photos for captions, or click on one for a slide show):

Market, Stuttgart. That vendor knew his mandarins.

Bamboo ducks for sale on the market.

Stiftskirche (Collegiate Church)

Schillerplatz

Stiftskirche, choir

Nude golden dude (Mercury, actually) on top of a column

Old street sign at dusk

Barn in the middle of town. Probably around 150 years old.

Crocuses. They just spring up in the grass.

Hoppenlau-Cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries in the city. The last burial here was in 1880. This is the grave of Wilhelm Hauff, my favourite fairy tale author.

Snow drops

The Jewish part of the cemetery.

Ancient grave stone.

Hot chocolate and cake in a city café

St Oswald church, 16th century.

Orchard: apples, pears, maybe even a quince.
