Luebeck Germany...

It has been ages since I've updated photos here. I have so many photos to add so stay tuned. These are a few scenery photos of Luebeck Germany. I spent 8 weeks in Luebeck when I first started working for my company. It's a great town and well worth a visit if you're ever travelling through Germany. It's about 1 hour outside of Hamburg.



This is an image of the Holstein Gate at the entrance to Luebeck.



This image is of a farm near the company.



Luebeck is surrounded by water, a river and canals.





Way back when, inside Luebeck, the rich merchants (traders??? I can't remember who -- anyhow those people rich enough to own homes in the city) would build cottages in their yards and rent them back to their workers. The archways leading into the yards had a minimum requirement: they had only to be big enough to carry out a full grown man's coffin. Some of the archways are so small even I have to crouch down to get through them.



The back gate in Luebeck.



I hope no one asks me to spell the name of this place. There is no way I could manage it. Suffice it to say, it's a nice restaurant now, where the sailors used to go when they were in port.



This is a statue of the mischievous little devil who caused this big stone to fall off the church as it was being built.
