Altstadt Heidelberg and the Neckar River, from the Heidelberg Castle
Before I write about this photograph, a little story. I have been posting daily photographs for close to fifteen years straight now. (I need to dig into the archives and determine the exact date — there may be an anniversary coming up.) I do this partially as a matter of discipline related to my music background… where we refer to this as “practice.” Generating a continuous flow of photographs, even if not every one is a masterpiece, is more a matter of exposing this process of practice. But I almost missed today! I had several photograph ready to post, but just before dinner I realized that I had not yet posted one for today! Close call, but here it is.
I made this photograph from the Heidelberger Schloss (castle) nearly a decade ago on one of our several visits to this city. (We’ve come to think of Heidelberg as home base for Europe visits as we have relatives who live there.) The photograph looks out across the old town (Altstadt) of Heidelberg toward the Neckar River and the flatlands in the distance.
