1. Lovely. I only visited Mannheim one time.

Went there in 1980 to see Led Zeppelin play. They played in an ice rink. It was a very unusual setting. It ended up being their last tour with the original members.

Very cool pics.

2. We had planned to stay until nightfall but the temperature dropped

and I decided I'd rather be home and warm.

We're going back during the evening hours before it closes. It's beautiful at night...all the lights.

5. So pretty and brings back memories

I have no pics from when I actually went to the ones in Karlsruhe (never thought to take a camera with me), but found a pic of what it's like:

An early Frohe Weihnachten to you!

3. Beautiful photos and very festive!

I also like the billboard shot of the Turkish food...cay, kofte, borek...brings back memories of Istanbul :-)

4. Thanks! Turkey is on our list for the summer of 2011.

Well, Turkey or Sicily..we're still deciding.

6. Yeah! Christkindlesmarkt. I love it.

The straw crafts photo is my favorite shot, the whole excursion is memorable and I love your presentation.

I have never been to Mannheim (to my memory). Home town is Augsburg. I have been to the Christkindlesmarkt in Nuernberg/Augsburg/Strassbourg and maybe the little city of my birth Schwaebisch Hall.

When I was young we moved around all over, 7 children in a VW bug, along with the parents. We were dirt poor, but we survived thanks to German Socialism and the kindness of strangers.

7. Next year we plan on going to the Nurnberg Christmas Market

We're moving to Ansbach.

We moved around a lot when I was young, too. I think I got a lot from it.

A virtual color orgasm. Better than sex!
