A pair of swans approached us as we walked along a pond near the Main River today. There are many different birds in this area, and most of them shy of humans. These swans have been here for several years. I remember seeing them the last time I was here in 2005. I suppose people have been feeding them. When I didn’t give them anything to eat, they drifted away. This one looked disappointed.

I am still not used to seeing the old and the new together, like in this photograph of a modern car parked in front of an old wall. If I had been here a while I might not have even noticed it.

What’s black and white and red all over? That’s easy – two versions of the same red scooter, one of which is in black and white. I saw this Vespa parked on a small side street this morning in Hassfurt. Is one preferable to the other?

I have just started experimenting with “iMapFlickr” So far, it seems easy to use and it is free. This is always a plus for me.
Create custom Google Maps from your geotagged Flickr Photos to embed in your website or blog, or for sending to friend’s Facebook, Twitter or your favourite website.
Its quick, easy and best of all, free!

Knetzgau is a relatively small and quiet community on the Main (rhymes with Rhein) River in the northern part of Bayern (Bavaria). It is about equidistant from Bamberg and Schweinfurt, and the A70 autobahn runs right by use here, making getting around very convenient. If I were looking for somewhere in Germany to retire, this would be it.
