I’ll miss my hometown this year, but I’ve arranged for my friends to gather on the square and wave at me through the webcam! 🙂

Thank you, **Sticks and Scones**! Rothenburg is a beautiful city _any_ time of the year, but especially in the Winter!

Also, if you ever get a chance to visit, you can leave your rental parked and _walk_ anywhere you’d like to go.

Sorry to sound like a tour guide, but it would be such a _pleasure_ to show any of y’all around, and not only in the tourist section!

One of the unknown facts about Rothenburg is that a lot of it was destroyed in WWII, not because it was any kind of a military target, but but because the Allies needed to drop some weight (bombs) in order to save fuel.

I could talk to y’all as long per day about Rothenburg ob der Tauber as I can about Beethoven and his life, so I guess I’ll shut up for now! 🙂

Sorry I hijacked my own thread again!:smack:

Quasi–I’m gonna be the next person to say that is a gorgeous wallpaper!

As for mine, it’ll probably be this one: [http://images.hellokids.com/\_uploads/\_tiny\_galerie/20091250/beautiful-christmas-tree-source\_bp8.jpg](http://images.hellokids.com/_uploads/_tiny_galerie/20091250/beautiful-christmas-tree-source_bp8.jpg)

But I really want to make my own at some point, like with a photoshop tutorial.

I _like_ that one a lot, **Kemanchi**! I have a strong affinity for winter scenes with the “loneliness” of a tree or two and nothing else in sight. I have very rarely seen a picture like that which didn’t appeal to me.

I look forward to seeing a scene like that when you get comfortable enough to share it with me/us!

Thanks!

[This](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/rburgwinter2.jpg) one is special to me, because it shows the whole city (the Tauber Valley, below) at Winter dusk.

Hey, I _know_ y’all must get tired of me bragging about my hometown, but thanks for putting up with me!

The picture from the square and the Christmas tree coming closer to the holiday!

Thanks

Quasi–hopefully I’ll find some time to mess around with the trial version of photoshop I have and a couple of tutorials, haha 🙂

And your picture of the Tauber Valley is breathtaking! Sunset and snow! 😃

If you’d do one for _me_, **Kemanchi** , I sure would like it to be only one tree surrounded by nothing but snow as wide as you can see!

I used to have one like that, but I cannot find it anymore.

Thanks!

Stunning! I can see why you miss it.
