This is the view from my apartment in Tübingen - it's to the west over the Ammertal (later, after I had met the Geek, we moved to a village in the Ammertal). This was the first thing I saw in the morning when I stepped out onto my terrace and the last in the night, and often I witnessed gorgeous sunsets. It was wonderful to watch thunder and lighting in the comfort and safety of my home. In the valley you can see the road I took every day to go to work - that was the time when I still worked with Hewlett-Packard, where I also met the Geek. It was a 20-30 minutes commute, depending on traffic. Since I always left very early for work I seldom had problems with bad traffic. It was different on the way back, but I just wouldn't take the autobahn then but some back roads through the forest (I didn't do that during winter, though). I felt lucky to live in such a beautiful place. These were the best years before my marriage.

ReplyDeleteHow about participating in WEEKWORD - I'm hosting. The word is:
ANTICIPATION. Spread the word...
Lovely image! But what most struck me in your post was that you worked for HP! What site did you work at? I visited Boeblingen a few times in the '90s.
ReplyDeleteOh my! How did you leave the house! Seriously..that is my dream - to have a view as beautiful as that. I think I would just stare at it all day!
ReplyDeletethis is a little shot of heaven, tomorrow (later) I will post something German,
