Photobook

The APU Study Abroad office is doing a photobook competition, and I have decided to enter some of my photos! Unfortunately it's not working very well with email, so I have decided to send them in this way. Here they are!

View of Old Heidelberg and the castle ruins from the North side of the Neckar River

Heidelberg University library

The Market Square in the snow. This was the first snow of our stay here.

We went sledding in the hills above Heidelberg. It was beautiful.

Same sledding trip.

In the Fasching Parade (which is the last celebration before Lent), this float was a final farewell to all of the American troops that were getting station elsewhere because of the closing of the base in Heidelberg.

The Kaiserdom in Speyer, Germany. This is the oldest Roman-Catholic church in Germany.

Votive candles inside the Kaiserdom.

The Swiss Alps in the snow.

Hike through the Swiss Alps in the snow.

Palace in Mannheim, Germany.

First signs of Spring in Ladenburg, Germany.

Ferris wheel in Schriesheim, Germany

View of old and new Heidelberg from the hills.

The Neckar River at night.

Love-locks on the Old Bridge.

Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, Germany. It was at this castle that Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German in 10 weeks.

Our group outside the Wartburg Castle. This semester there were 3 students from Westmont College, 2 students from Biola, and 2 students from APU.

Copy of the Bible (book of Joshua) with Martin Luther's handwriting in it.

Piece of the Berlin Wall in Leipzig, Germany.

Memorial of the Battle of Verdun (World War I) in Verdun, France. Nearly a million died in the Battle of Verdun.

Panorama of the memorial graves at Verdun.

The Salzburg Cathedral. The architect built it in such a way that the angels holding the crown (which are mounted on the building) would crown the virgin Mary (which is a statue in front of the building) as you walk towards it.

Inside of the dome of the Salzburg Cathedral.

The house used in the movie "The Sound of Music" for the Von Trapp family's house.

The Imperial Palace in Vienna, Austria.

On Easter we went to a mass in which the Vienna Boys Choir sang. 

 So there they are, a few photos so far of my time in Heidelberg, Germany.

Grace and Peace!
