You can see in the background the St. Ulrich Church in Hohenfels, Bavaria. This is just a little town but it is peaceful and beautiful.
It is always nice to go walking around in Hohenfels. This is especially true if the weather is nice. I sometimes carry my jansport backpack especially during summer season. I put inside my camera, a bottle of water, cellphone and other personal belongings.
I know that there are some people who don't like winter time. This is the season of the year when the weather is very very cold. In fact, freezing cold that range below zero temperature. As long as the heater inside our house is working, I still love winter season. It has its own beauty which only nature can explain. I heard some people who get depress during cold gray winter. I guess they don't need to worry because there is an anxiety depression treatment for them. I felt sad to a friend who told me that she gets depress during winter time. She just need to do something which will divert her time to help her about her depression. I am thankful that no matter what season of the year it is, I still manage to do things that makes me happy and forget about depression.
some of the carnival rides during the festival
the Easter Egg decoration near the Forrelenbachtal and St. Ullrich Church in Hohenfels
the amazing frescos of the Church's ceiling is one of the features of the Church. It was painted by the famous [painters Asam brothers.
I got another picture of Hohenfels. This time I am sharing a picture of the castle remains in Hohenfels. What is visible now is only the tower of Schlossberg, the name of the castle. They also call this castle in German Burg Hohenfels. I went yesterday to the municipal hall in this place to ask for some yellow bags where we put all the plastics for recycling. I also signed the paper soliciting for anti-smoking in Bavaria especially in restaurants, public transportation and other public places. I guess you cannot smoke Avo cigars in any public places once this law will put into effect. I guess it is a long story now if I will write about the anti-smoking campaign in Bavaria. More updates in the weekend. It is time for me to relax in the bath tub now. Have a great weekend everyone!
Another beautiful time of the year is here. It's Autumn or Fall season now. The changing beauty of nature around Europe is finally visiting us again. There might be people who love this season but some might not be happy because the cold winter season is coming next. Yesterday, dear HB forced me to go walking with him. I really don't want to go because the sky is quite dark and it seems that the rain is coming. You can see the dark sky in my photo here. I'm glad that HB convinced me to go with him. It might not be a quick weight loss effect on my part but it helps. At least, I was able to see the beauty of nature yesterday. This is one season I love because I see colourful and beautiful surroundings. That tower you see in my picture is the tower of the castle ruins in our place. It is named Schlossberg Castle. More updates tomorrow!

The bird's eye view of Hohenfels during summer time. I went up on the hill where the castle remains of Schlossberg is found as I took this photo last August 2008. That tallest yellow building is the beautiful St. Ullrich Church.
the beautiful fresco inside the Church! I really admired how the painters, artists, designers and architects of this Church truly made this building a very unique and beautiful one!! I love most especially its beautiful ceiling!! truly amazing!!
This is entrance of the Church. You can also see above the Organ in the middle. This is where the Choir also stays during the mass. Look at that beautiful ceiling!!..I love it and truly admired the artist who did it. If I am not mistaken, the famous Asam Bros. painted the ceiling of this Church.
