Today was more of a ricochet walk, I was walking a bit of the priests walk, then a bit of the Woodlands, but I had no specific route just bouncing about.

Last day in Munich so it was the local area that got a looking at. It was also extremely cold & grey so somewhat fitting for our first tourist action.

KZ Dachau (x6) The camp gates * The Infamous inscription * Crematorium * Inside the crematorium looking from the waiting room, to the disrobing room, then the "Showers" & into the body room * the main thoroughfare between the blocks to the "Appell" station & the administration blocks * Security measures - Old Brauerei buildings Aying - Aying village - Some Ayinger locals - Then some of the locals in Hermannsdorf Landwerkstatten.

Difficult subject matter, but important to remember what happened here.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I'd agree with that statement & also the reason why the photographs taken were very selective.

A walk today along the railway line through GT. Harwood to Rishton, then back down to the wet bits of Tottleworth.

This is probably one for the 'boys'.
Today I took Spindles on a day out ...to Manchester...the Museum of Science and Industry.
When I asked him what kind of day he had....he said it was 'amazing'.
So have a look at some of these pictures.
1) Spindles...in a perspex structure on the walk to the museum.
2) Him again in from of a big plane.
3) A little Kamikaze plane.......you could nearly get that in your handbag.
4) a wheelchair motorbike....who knew one of those existed.
5) An experimental Jet
6) another airy fairy plane...come on....don't ask me technical stuff...I'm female!
7) A steam engine ...cut away to show its gizzards...the internal workings...pipes and things
8) The Muriel(yes I know it is a mural) on the outside of the museum.
9) The footplate of a big black steam engine.
10) this is the big black steam engine that the footplate belongs to

A walk around Castle Clough, a touch early for any Spring flowers, but moist moments in abundance.

Re: Today in pictures
 

10cm:eek: You are lucky ... we got only five.;) Your iPad must be one of those cheap Australian knock-offs.:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Got another few cm today, but it won't last long. As for my iPad, it's the real article, but for some reason photos flip upside like that when uploading to Accyweb. This time I thought I would be smart, and edited the photo to be upside down before uploading it, but to no avail :confused:

That just goes to prove that technology confounds common sense.
