Nice views and cute squirrel. I wonder how surfers know they can surf such a "wave". I would have thought it isn't possible since the water is moving backwards whereas in real surf the surfers are on water moving forward.

I read about that surfing thing before, I've seen it being tried in drainage ditches in Houston as well. Very dangerous, so of course the young men must try it. I love the photos of the darling squirrel! Thank you so much!

That baroque architecture is great -- but I'm still glad that we have moved on to other styles!

A darling little German squirrel!
That "Wedgewood" building is something else. Any idea what its original purpose was?
My gosh, that form of surfing looks much more dangerous than the regular kind! There's nowhere to go except into concrete embankments.
Nice pics, Annie ~ thanks!

I don't remember, bixabella, what the original purpose of the building was.
We were a bit shocked to see some buildings still showing signs of the nazis in their decoration. Gulped a bit and decided to take it as a "lest we forget" gesture. (still shivering, though0

I rediscovered this thread and it was as though I had never seen it before.
