And now some history:On the left side the great emblem (Große Wappen) and on the right side the minor emblem (Kleine Wappen) of Nuremberg. The left one is generally used by administrative bodies whereas the minor one is used by some companies too.
Ascension of Jesus at St Lorenz in Nuremberg
I was told this part at the tympanum of St. Lorenz is showing the ‘Ascension of Jesus’. For me this is really an odd illustration as one can see only the feet of Jesus. What do you think?
Sundial on the Nassauer Haus in Nuremberg
This sundial is located at the Nassauer Haus in Nuremberg. I love the design which reminds on a scroll. Around the corner, there is another sundial with a more common design.
Bread store in Nuremberg
I had known Nuremberg is famous for its Lebkuchen but I was surprised how many sorts of bread this bread store (Feinkost Nikolaus Schwarz) is offering. Amazing how different the outer crusts and the crumbles of each loaf look like. And yes, I always love a good piece of bread. What about you?
Café Fürstenhof in Regensburg
I just love the style of this café in Regensburg named Café Fürstenhof. What about you? Would you love to have a cup of coffee at this balcony watching the people in the street?
Wall ruins in Regensburg

On the grounds of Schloss Eggenberg
My first stop of my museums trip along the locations of the Universalmuseum Joanneum: On the grounds of Schloss Eggenberg (Eggenberg Palace).
Rainbow in the streets of Graz
Amazing! Next to a construction site, I saw this rainbow (bottom left) in the streets of Graz. It was caused by a drizzle, with which the dust of demolition work had been tied. So I had the chance to walk through a rainbow for the first time.
Inside the Stahlwelt of Linz
Inside the exhibition hall of the Stahlwelt in Linz. This is a hall with an excellent exhibition about steel and products made by steel. Well, I am part of this photo. Can you see me? 🙂
At the Val Canale in Italy
On my way from Udine to the Austrian border I took an ordinary road through the Val Canale instead of the motorway and enjoyed a splendid view of the Alps. In some areas of Europe it is really better to drive slowly instead of racing along the motorways, isn’t it?
An altana seen in Udine
Another interesting piece of architecture I saw in Udine. It is called an altana. Well, would you love to live in such a tower?
