Stained Glass in Munich New Town Hall

by

During my March visit to Munich we went to the top of the Neues Rathaus (Munich New Town Hall) to take pictures of the surrounding area. Unfortunately one of the towers in Frauenkirche was under construction, so those photos won't really be inspiring. We took the long way down from the tower and ended up seeing some beautiful architecture and this stained glass depiction of … [Read more...] about Stained Glass in Munich New Town Hall

Hofbrauhaus Bräustübl in Berchtesgaden, Germany

by

  Yesterday I reviewed the Intercontinental Berchtesgaden Resort, which has unfortunately changed ownership to Kempinski since my stay last month. While preparing this review, I went back and looked at some of the photos we took during our walk around town with Mrs. Jeffsetter, Geraldine and Rand. We walked around the city for hours, took in a nice sunset and then … [Read more...] about Hofbrauhaus Bräustübl in Berchtesgaden, Germany

View of the Golden Gate from Twin Peaks, San Francisco

by

  Confession time: Before I moved to San Francisco, I thought that "Golden Gate" was simply the name given to a bridge connecting San Francisco and Marin County. Then I saw a map of San Francisco from around 1900 and noticed that the body of water separating the two areas had Golden Gate written on it.

I'm … [Read more...] about Doing Touristy Stuff in My Own City – Golden Gate Bridge Photos During Spring Flower Bloom

Sunset in Yountville, California (Napa Valley)

by

This past Sunday was an exceptional one for me and Mrs. Jeffsetter. It started with brunch at Bouchon. Followed by wine tasting at Corison, the patio at Farmstead, a tasting at Del Dotto and the views from Auberge du Soleil. On the way back to our hotel we decided to take some photos of the area. Most photos didn't quite turn out. Just as we had given up, we turned the … [Read more...] about Sunset in Yountville, California (Napa Valley)

Front View of Neuschwanstein Castle in Winter

by

At first I was disappointed that the weather at Neuschwanstein castle was so drab during our visit. But when the structure is this impressive, who really cares about the weather? After lunch, we walked up the hill to Neuschwanstein castle. It was as majestic as you might expect, especially with the snowy setting. The photos turned out well, considering the freezing rain … [Read more...] about Front View of Neuschwanstein Castle in Winter
