On the Road and In Your Backyard

Good Morning All,

This weekday feature is for Juicers who are are on the road, traveling, or just want to share a little bit of their world via stories and pictures. So many of us rise each morning, eager for something beautiful, inspiring, amazing, subtle, of note, and our community delivers – a view into their world, whether they’re far away or close to home – pictures with a story, with context, with meaning, sometimes just beauty. By concentrating travel updates and tips here, it’s easier for all of us to keep up or find them later.

So please, speak up and share some of your adventures and travel news here, and submit your pictures using our speedy, secure form. You can submit up to 7 pictures at a time, with an overall description and one for each picture.

You can, of course, send an email with pictures if the form gives you trouble, or if you are trying to submit something special, like a zipped archive or a movie. If your pictures are already hosted online, then please email the links with your descriptions.

For each picture, it’s best to provide your commenter screenname, description, where it was taken, and date. It’s tough to keep everyone’s email address and screenname straight, so don’t assume that I remember it “from last time”. More and more, the first photo before the fold will be from a commenter, so making it easy to locate the screenname when I’ve found a compelling photo is crucial.

Have a great weekend everybody and  do enjoy the pictures. There are lots of good things in store for next week!

 

And it worked – it’s Friday, so y’all know what that means – otmar!

A sincere thank you to otmar for re-submitting these. It’s been a constant fail as this submission is stuck in my queue. Thanks for resubmitting and I’ll use your subsequent post next Friday.

Today, pictures from valued commenter otmar.

This set is from February, but somehow Alain had troubles posting them. So here’s a (less verbose) retry:

The last day of the indoor hockey season brought the spawn and their hockey dad to the small city of Mödling which lies just a bit to the south of Vienna. After the games we walked though the old center. Here are some impressions:

Lamp / fountain mix.

Old houses.

This is the old city hall where e.g. civil weddings are performed.

This is a “Pestsäule”, a monument to thank god for lifting the curse of the black plague. A good number of them were erected all over the Hapsburg empire in the baroque style.

 

Thank you so much otmar, do send us more when you can.

 

Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.
