ruby red wrapping paper



Scene captured in Trier, Germany's oldest city , which was founded on or before 16 BC... hard to believe, isn't it? See the prior post for more info, if you are so inclined.

Not a great shot because it's against the light but I liked the buildings... that's why I took this picture. Now that I am back home and going through the shots I took during this trip, I found the red touch concentrated on the left side of the picture : the blonde lady is holding a bouquet of yellow flowers wrapped in red as well as another unidentified bunch of tall greeneries, also wrapped in red. She is not smoking, she is wondering what she still needs from the market before she goes home. Are the flowers for her mom, her friend, herself??

  5. Wonderful architecture. Love how each facade is different. Thanks for pointing out the woman's pose: I really like how she ponders her purchases.

  7. What a great style of architecture....I so wish America would take heart in the 'old world' ways and keep structures like this, but alas....never to be.

    My RT is posted, I do hope you can find some time to visit---------

  9. Those buildings are the kind I have seen in illustrations to fairy tales. I should have known that there would be some real ones, somewhere! Thanks for sharing.

  11. Wow, what wonderful architecture in a town that has most certainly withstood the test of time - 16 BC - awesome.
    Love all the touches of red you pointed out.
    Seems the two gentleman (one in a light ruby shirt) thought you were taking their photo. :)

  14. Oh I wish I could see this picture Bigger and Better....I did click on it, but it just gets a teeny tiny bit bigger---I guess I don't understand Flicker or why people use it, other than the fact that you can show many pictures on it.....All of these pictures from your trip that I have seen so far, are feally wonderful, and an education, for sure, my dear.

  17. I love the architecture of the buildings too. They probably have no lifts in them.

  18. Trier is a lovely place, it reminds me of a school trip we made when I was a young girl. The houses look like fairy tale houses, made out of cookies!!!

  20. I think I've been there, coming down from Amsterdam, but I don't remember the town. Aren't those Old World squares and markets nice!
    I hope your RT was Happy, I am returning your visit. Yes, that is a big gourd hollowed out to make a shekere. It will be used in our church orchestra. I did do an answer post, with even a YouTube to show how to play the thing.
