Re: Today in pictures

Mondays jolly was to Cham in the "Bayerische Wald".

Marktplatz - Brunnen figures represent "Frieden & Fruchtbarkeit" (Peace & Plenty) The "Wald Hexe & Kinder" (Wood Witch & children symbolising Mother nature) "Bilmesschneider" (Mythical/Saga creature & represents failed harvests & hunger) - Grafen Luckner (took part in the French revolution) - Markt platz "Maibaum & Brunnen" - Covered walkways with Marion & the Mong - More Architecture & culture - "Rathaus & Jakobus Kirche" - No comment! Actually where the figure stands below was a well used to draw water for the beasts on market days - The "Burgtor" initially part of the city wall & defence, in 1642 it was taken over by by the towns Brewers to produce the local Weißbier" & as such in the local parlance became known as the "BierTor".
