I have purchased a German Laptop.
At least the keyboard has the umlaut.
I had to download my Sony photo editing software in German which is not easy.
But hey, my German vocabulary is rapidly improving!
Check out the gorgeous Rhine and some scenes from beautiful Germany in mid-November.
Wurtzberg and the river Main.
Germany is lovely in late fall.
Cheers um Sie aus Deutschland!
These are gorgeous photos Cindy. I love them. 🙂
Danke mein Freund!
WOW! Fabulous Images……
Thank you, I had such a hard time with this post in German!!
Schöne! Schöne! Ja. I have to get there. My Dad was eight times in Germany and I never. He was with the job, but he promised he would take me one day 🙂
When you go, you will be very pleased that you did and then you will go again!
Someday… I’ll go to Germany
You will be so glad you did!
Germany certainly is magnificent in fall. I am impressed with your mastery of your new German computer.
It is only doable because I am somewhat familiar with computers. In truth it has been hard. Just doing this post will all the different German commands was difficult but I am catching on. I am sure I made mistakes….
The mistakes, if any, slipped by me. How about a lovely German phrase in your next post to show us the umlaut and the and the double S, and other wonders of your keyboard!
I love these pictures, Cindy. Beautiful! — Suzanne
So pleased you do! It was hard for me to get to the point of being able to post!
Willkommen in Deutschland! Lovely photos! 🙂
Danke mein Freund!
beautiful pics
So pleased you enjoyed them!
i love photography…
So do I!
Gutan Tag Cindy! Wow, Germany has plenty of breathtaking examples of design and architecture I see! I just love that terraced hill (which looks like something out of a storybook) and that grand cathedral. Thank you for sharing these exquisite images! ~Lynn
Germany is the land of fairy tale scenery! Be well dear Lynn <3
Great images, Cindy!
Danke!
Bitte schöen
Wonderful pictures Cindy. If German engineering is anything to go by, your laptop will go 100mph.for you.
xxx Huge hugs xxx
It will be fun to use when I get home and have the leisure to play around with it. It does spell checking in German which is not practical, laughing!
Not sure what’s more impressive, Germany in the fall or your skills with your new German laptop. 🙂 Your photos are gorgeous, I especially love the second one. Have fun!
Awwww your kindness is so appreciated! <3
Such beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing your travels.
Thank you more for coming along with me!
Germany indeed is beautiful, Cindy – strong, determined, mature and lovely lines and balance almost everywhere. Love the shots you made
What a beautiful and accurate description!
I have to wonder: did all these things have to be rebuilt or restored after WWII?
Many historical treasures were lost, but thankfully many still remain.
Wunderschoene Bilder 🙂
Danke schoen mein lieber Freund!
Another beautiful trip. What fantastic photos. 😀
Very kind & most appreciated!
So happy to see your post on my reader this morning. 🙂 What a relief, for me, too 🙂 I was thinking of you and your laptop… the whole weekend. Thank you for the beautiful post, Cindy!
You know full well what an effort it was to buy a laptop, switch as many language prompts as possible, install my Japanese photo editing software downloaded free online in a starbucks following prompts in German, and actually get out a post! Phewww……reminds me of grad school!
I actually thought about the language and downloading software that you might have to go through… 🙂 It’s amazing you got it and made it work!!
Thanks for the stunning set of images–feel as though I am there with you. Wow, good for you–a German laptop. Hope that it serves you well.
When I get home it will be super fun. Now it is a super big challenge!
I see you have worked your magic again.. nothing keeps a good woman down..xxxo
I hope that is true for all of them! <3 <3
Once again–your photos are beautiful. Have you considered putting together a book?
That would be fun! All I need is a publisher……me and 100,000 other people!
Wonderful shots 🙂
So kind and much appreciated!
That second photo with the terraces is begging for a fairy tale to begin….Es war einmal…..
One upon a time es war eine schöne Frau namens Cynthia, die die schönste Poesie geschrieben und hatte einen Freund namens Cindy, die in Deutschland unterwegs war.
Wunderbar!
Some great colours. I’m afraid were going wintry drab already over here. 🙂
I am very surprised by the fall colors too. I thought they would be long gone. There is a strange fall beauty here that is hard to describe.
A land worth keeping, may it never be destroyed.
Amen!
Schöne Fotos! Auch aus Würzburg (mit Umlaut und ohne t) – Deutsch ist einfach schwer, darüber klagte schon Mark Twain! Nicht aufgeben!
Ich werde nicht aufgeben! Es ist hart, aber ich habe Spaß! Beifall zu und danke mein Freund.
Wie kommt man als Amerikanerin eigentlich auf die Idee, Deutsch zu lernen?
We have 10 inches of wet snow in Denver suburbs. Enjoy. (What church is in the last picture?)
eeeeks, snow already! The Frauen Kirche, catholic church with glockenspiel in Nuremberg.
Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
Cindy Knoke having overcome laptop woes catches us up with her trip through Germany with some spectacular photography….wonderful.
You are the kindest friend Sally. Cheers & hugs~
Now you have the reason to learn or improve your German 🙂
Beautiful seasonal pictures!
Exactly & thank you!
Enjoy your new laptop and trip!
Beautiful pictures, Cindy!
Very pleased you enjoyed them!
Germany is the land of my ancestors on my father’s side so your pictures have a wonderful double meaning for me: history and beauty. 🙂
Oh, that is so lovely!
It’s all so colourful — the trees, the buildings, the sky. The UK is so grey and wet in comparison. Thank you for cheering me with your bright pictures 🙂
Thank you more for cheering me with your kind comment! <3
So glad you were able to find a suitable keyboard … when we were in Panama, I obtained a macbook to replace an old one, but didn’t realize it would have a Spanish keyboard, until I began making more typos that I care to admit to. I still have that unit, but only really use it for photoshop, now that I have a ‘real’ keyboard…
I am sure I am making errors too, but am so grateful to have made it this far!
That is how I felt about the Spanish Macbook, but I nearly did cartwheels when I got back to a ‘normal’ keyboard.
Amazing captures, Cindy… <3
Beautiful photos. Enjoy the trip and scenery. Have safe travel. P.S. Do you have to have all your texts and posts translated over to English before using or posting? Or does it automatically translate? It the laptop a German brand popular there? Hope you have good service with it.
WP operates normally in English, but all commands and computer prompts are in German. WP spell check is in German funnily enough.
Every picture a treasure!
You are the treasure, thank you!
You are so kind!
Stunning photos Cindy. I especially love the first one with the water’s reflection. And wow, a German keyboard, that must be a good learning curve. 🙂
So happy you are computered again 🙂 The photos are magnificent. I’ve always figured the only way I’d ever learn a language that is different from my own is to be totally immersed in the culture of the new language…learn and survive 🙂
That is exactly how I learned Spanish. I wish we were in Germany longer, so this would happen! I would like to spend three months here……
Oh how lovely that would be 🙂
<3
Wow, I’m practically drooling over these photographs. Such brilliant colors. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
You are a sweetheart Carrie,. Thank you and be well my friend~
Very beautiful photos Cindy. You should be able to make your settings in English and used it like that 🙂
Some I was able to change, but others not. It’s not as easy to change a computer’s programmed language in THAT language and then there is the keyboard!!
Well if I had no laptop I’d learn what I needed in German too. I wouldn’t be happy about it but I’d do it rather than be without. I’d be quite bereft without one.
Stunning photos as usual Cindy! Gorgeous.
Alison
So glad you got a new laptop. Well done in getting it all set up! I saw your post on my iPhone earlier and came back to it on my iMac. Wow – the colors really pop on my computer! So glad I visited again Cindy!
It works and your photos are stunning. I love the first photo and can just imagine sitting in a lawn chair on a warm day there relaxing and enjoying the water.
Gorgeous colors Cindy form our current grey winter here. Thanks for sharing them to brighten the day.
amazing as always and thank you for sharing a part of your adventures with us! Cheers!
Is that the sideways colon above the U? Das Eist Good! Is it cold there?
Cindy, you’re amazing! Lovely pictures, as always!
Beautiful pictures of autumn glory, Cindy! I’m sure you speak fluent German after this trip…particularly if you continue to use the laptop and the editing software 🙂
Love tagging along!!! Fabulous photos!
Why do I remember Germany being gray and dull in late fall? It must’ve been that heavy snow and cold temps the first year we were there. 🙂
Cindy, now I’m most impressed! I’d have gone without the laptop before purchasing one overseas — and trying to figure out how to make all the programs work right! Well done! I hadn’t realized Germany during the fall is so lovely!!
Beautiful photos. I love the old architecture the best. The church is stunning.
There are some truly remarkable churches in Germany!
Thank goodness for getting a new laptop! I was afraid we wouldn’t see many more photos until you got home. 🙂 Germany is indeed beautiful in the fall! I was there in the month of May and it was nice, but but nearly as gorgeous!
I am surprised, and we are having sunshine, along with the beginnings of the Christmas markets!
Lovely! The colors are so rich.
I wasn´t expecting These subdued, ethereal fall Colors……
I don’t think I’d ever want to come home!! Gorgeous!
I would love it if my Family could come for Christmas!
Good going! You are braver than I – buying a German laptop! So glad you did so we could see your photos.
So thoughtful and most appreciated!
So glad you got a laptop! What pictures! Wow I love the one along the water with the houses! they are all amazing! Thanks for sharing your trip!
Thank you so much more for the Kind appreciation!
I love your photos so much Cindy!
<3
Gorgeous place! Congratulations with your new laptop and it can also speak German 🙂
Yes, and I am trying to catch up with it! 😉
Glorious pictures!! I love driving along the rivers in Germany.
They are Special!
Germany is so beautiful. I fell in love with it when we were there last summer and you’re pictures certainly reinforce my admiration for its beauty. These are as always great photos, Cindy. Enjoy your trip!!! Hugs, N 🙂 <3
Germany is just gorgeous, with friendly People, gorgeous scenery, and wonderful Food. It keeps drawing me back…..
Spectacular scenery! Looks like you’re on a cruise, what a great way to travel. 🙂
Germany is wonderful, the cruise not so much, but we will be off the ship soon!
Your photos are breathtaking and I recognize a lot of those places and views! 🙂
I am Walking in your footsteps!
Fantastic trip you are having. Loosing a computer is like cutting off an arm. Pleased you are back on line with us again Cindy
You understand just how I felt!!
Super Pictures!
Danke mein Freund!
The weather looks great – wonderful photos.
Thank you! We´ve had gorgeous weather for two days now!
Wow, was für eine wunderschöne Novemberreise Du uns vom Rhein und Main mit den goldenen Herbstfarben zeigst, liebe Cindy. Wir haben in der Schweiz und Deutschland immer noch schönstes warmes Herbstwetter. Danke für’s zeigen. Ernst
Vielen Dank für die sehr freundlichen Worte Ernst. Ich möchte die Schönheit der Deutschland zeigen, und ich hoffe, meine deutschen Freunde werden es mögen.
You made me smile 🙂 I was stationed in Wurzburg, I loved wandering through your photos which are stunning ! brought back some good memories
You must be having a great time, I am envious 🙂
Take Care…Stay Safe….You Matter
and Thank you for sharing your gift,
maryrose
and I’m glad you found a computer…!
What a great City to be stationed in. Wurzburg is so lovely and thank you for the most encouraging words!
you’re welcome 🙂
it was a great three years, I had a lot of good time there, though Hindenburg Kasern isn’t there any more, well two of the buildings are I heard ….so many changes since I was there
Sounds like a fascinating time…..
Lovely 🙂
Danke schoen!
Schöne Fotos, Cindy. 🙂
Danke mein lieber Freund!
Wow! Awesome photos and fantastic sights! 🙂
So encouraging and motivating. Be well my friend! <2
The photographs are fabulous, Cindy! I guess it’s due to your new German laptop. WINK!!! lol!
It is definitely smarter than I am!
Lovely photos! We are considering a river cruise in a year or two and would like to know which company you took and why you didn’t like it so much…if you don’t mind sharing that info, of course.
I don’t mind at all and would be happy to give you a review, when we get back. We were on Viking.
Oh boy, looking forward to your review. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
WOW! (☆▽☆)
(☆▽☆) <3 🙂
Wie immer hast du dich beim fotografieren selbst übertroffen… aber dein Deutsch lässt zu wünschen übrig… 😊 naaa just kidding – hope you bought a MacBook. Dann noch viel Spass hier bei uns…
Mein Deutsch ist wirklich schlecht, aber ich lerne langsam !!! 🙂
How beautiful!!
So Kind and so appreciated!
Liebe! <3
Danke mein lieber Freund.
🙂
{Hugs}
Exquite – I feel – see – smell – even touch. Thank you!
Hugs to you dear friend.
Cindy– you’re in Germany?!! how you get around! All the photos were incredible– but you saved the best for last. That church facade was glorious! Are you there for long? Do we get more photos?
I am still here, spendíng almost a month and am in Budapest now, staying at the model for The Grand Budapest Hotel!
What fun!! All those coffee houses on chilly days!! And the market– full of paprika and strudel!! Hope you have a beautiful time there…
You have been here in winter! Just ate some insanely good chocolate and listened to the organ practice in the cathedral. Why doesn´t everyone come to Budapest in the winter?????
Bueno, los idiomas que tienen signos especiales, tienen que adaptar su teclado. El español tiene diéresis, eñe…, pero estas dificultades se superan 😉
Las fotos son preciosas. Buen fin de semana, Cindy <3
Y tu tan bien mi amiga mia! >3
How wonderful photos from Germany. I enjoyed every single photo.
Makes me happy! Thank you.
Wonderful photographs, Cindy! Cool that you know the language!
Oh, I am a very bad German Speaker! 🙂
🙂
beautiful photos
Danke mein Freund.
☺
Oh, these are all beautiful, Cindy. I particularly love the shots from inside the cathedral and the second photo of the town on the hillside.
Such beauty in Gemany, so glad you enjoyed.
I did, what a beautiful country.
Holy Shit, Cindy!! lol 😉 Sorry for that but WOW!! It never fails. When Inion and I come to your blog our mouths drop in wonder as our hearts go light & we relish in the beauty that you capture in photos. Said it before and we’ll say it again. You are an artist my dear; thru & thru!!!! <3 xoxo Luv these extraordinary pics & sharing them now.
You two are the creative geniuses, but I am just so happy to know you both. Cheers to you from Budapest! Hugs & appreciation!
I lived in Würzburg for a while and had a west-facing 10th floor balcony flat overlooking the city. Festung Marienberg was the centerpiece of every sunset, and your photos certainly bring back some memories. Thanks!
Oh, I am glad they brought back happy memories. I would love to live in Germany for a year.
Sehr schone! Your photos are incredible. I am happy you remedied your digital problems, and SO appreciate the photos, Cindy. Love the glockenspiel! 😀
Oh the wonderful glockenspiels with the Christmas markets spread out below! Thank you my dear friend and be well!
A stunning gallery of wonderful photographs!
You are very kind!
It’s lovely, indeed. Have you been in any public parks, yet? I believe some of the grandest trees I’ve ever seen in a public park in Europe were in Germany. If I remember right….. Have fun, Cindy.
Yes! They have some amazing old trees and I took photos of them!
Great. I’ll look out!
Well it looks like you did a great job with the uploading as these are more great pics.
Thank you Antionette and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family~ <3
I spent some childhood years in Germany, and canoed on the Rhine. Thank you for happy memories.
Makes me very happy to trigger good memories! Have a wonderful weekend~
Reblogged this on Spiritual challenges .
Thank you for your kindness my dear friend! <3
Beautiful, beautiful – and great weather you had too.
Yes the entire trip wonderful weather except for one rainy day in Vienna. Love the Viennese, they were out in force at The Christmas Markets! Rain won’t stop them.
I think I have the option on my translator to use an umlaut. I have a lot of German friends having lived there inTrier for sometime. You’re post is magnificent and brings back many memories of the Rhineland. Gorgeous photos!
Trier is so beautiful! Lucky you! So happy to trigger good memories. Makes me happy I posted~
I enjoyed tremendously, thank you!
<3
When I visit you, I always feel I am blessed in such a great way…the radiance of your light just inspires, as it shines through the daily gifts you are allowed to share. God blesses many through your spiritual selfless eyes and heart! Love what you always share Cindy!
You know the feeling is very much reciprocal Wendell. Your gentle spirit and kind heart are a revelation to me. <3
I pushed like and may not have had time to comment, Cindy. This was spectacular and I treasured these photographs shared here. Thank you so very much!
Awww, so thoughtful Robin. Have a wonderful day~ <3
Hi Cindy – I enjoyed all of your Germany posts. Those medieval signs are so unique and amazing. The sense of deep roots mixed with modern life is always a winning combination. And now, of course, I feel a bit homesick…
So very pleased you enjoyed and yes I love seeing the old preserved and utilized daily in our modern world. This is something I have to travel to see and it is well worth the effort! I can well understand you feeling homesick for such carefully conserved beauty and history.
The beauty of it all is that the darkness of Autumn is lifted up by the magnificent colours of the trees. and the man made colouring and glamorous buildings can have us dream away.
Thanks for sharing all those beautiful pictures.
You described this so poetically and beautifully! Thank you Marcus~
this place looks great! thank you 🙂
Reblogged this on WHOLE.
You are most thoughtful and very appreciated!
no worries 🙂
Yes, beautiful. I wonder what has happened to your German laptop in the meantime.
I had it for the longest time. I still have it in storage. It was a lenovo. I bought another lenovo laptop for travel.
