Went to the Taunus (mountains near Frankfurt) yesterday

Comments and critics are more than welcome

Frankfurt from the distance in the morning (took the pic out of a moving bus)


The stick wasn't interesting anymore


Running up the hill

A so-called Limes-Kastell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limes
The Limes was a border in Germany during the Roman occupation

1. Wow...I hadn't heard of limes before...

The Romans of that era certainly built things to last...

[MissHoneychurch]

2. I have to tell you a secret

those "ruins" you see there aren't from the Romans, they got re-built in recent times so that visitors have something to see and get an idea how it used to look.

3. ah...that explains it....

i thought their condition was a little too "neat" -- I was thinking they were once bigger structures and those were the remaining foundations...

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Those are the foundations

just not the original ones.

If you are intersted we could go there when you come.

[Celebration]

5. Do I see evidence of your new lens?

These look good!

Sure the foundation is rebuilt but don't you think those are the original stones?

Was the dog on the bus too?

[MissHoneychurch]

6. You do see the evidence correctly

:D

From what I understood the stones aren't original either.

The dog belonged to our guide, or the other way around :)
