Autumn in Koblenz, Germany

On November 1, 2017 By Isobar ExpeditionsIn Germany, Photo Challenge1 Comment

Situated along the Rhine River where it connects with the Moselle, Koblenz is a wonderful city to visit, especially in the fall. One of our favorite memories from our time in Germany last year was taking the train along the Rhine and seeing all of the beautiful foliage. There are many different sites to visit in Koblenz, such as the fortress, the Basilica of St. Castor, Stolzenfels Castle, and the German Corner with its monument of William I on horseback. Regardless of sightseeing in Koblenz, we enjoyed simply walking along the river and enjoying the beautiful scenery. This week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is anything with the letter K. We hope that you enjoy a few images of our time in Koblenz as much as we enjoyed visiting it last October.

Autumn is Magical in the Colorado Mountains

Autumn is our favorite time of year to get into the mountains and go hiking. The weather can be cool and it is possible to get snow at times, but when the sun is shining and the leaves have turned golden, it is truly spectacular. We enjoy autumn everywhere and the different tapestry of colors that you find. Autumn in Colorado is a little unique from other places where the trees turn a dark gold, orange, and vibrant red. Those colors are beautiful and we definitely enjoy seeing them, but in Colorado, the Aspen trees turn a brilliant gold. When the sun hits the bright yellow leaves on a clear day, the trees almost seem to glow. So, for last week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge, Glow, we have chosen some photos from Beaver Creek.

Changes

It is that time of year when everything seems to be changing. Probably even more so for us as we learn to live in a new country, but changes are always happening around us. This week’s photo challenge is Transmogrify, which is all about transformation. There are several ideas that jump to mind, a butterfly coming from a larva, a building transformed by artwork, or costumes representing the holiday season. For us, though, this time represents the transition from autumn into winter, especially as the days here in Germany tend to vary every day. So our entry for this week’s challenge is one of a transition from autumn into winter as viewed from one of our many hikes in Colorado.
