It is a marvelous city isn’t it, and the university has educated so many historical contributors to western thought. Plus they have really good food!!!
I made several visits there in my scientific days, having friends in one of Max Planck Institutes and at the European Molecular Biology Lab. Loved walking the Philosophers Walk, taking in the view you had, and then enjoying coffee and pastries in a cafe in the Cathedral Square. Still a great center of education. You brought back fond memories!
So many incredible minds arose from Heidelberg historically, Hegel, Emil Kraepelin and Max Weber had strong influences on my education So many philosophers and scientists. I am happy I was able to inadvertently trigger these memories in you, and they sound wonderful. I am glad you have them, and of course I agree about the pastries too!
What beautiful golden light in this series. Love the reflections. I seem to remember Heidelberg being overcast and dreary when I was there in the mid 1970s. You’ve obviously chosen the right time of year to visit Europe (in general). You’ve shared some beautiful scenes.
Did you tour the castle? There were a lot of stairs. My mother had planned to go to university there until the war made that impossible. I love that city. Great photos. 🙂
The university creates this town and it resonates from the history of the some of the remarkable people who studied and lived there. How terribly sad for your mother to have to cut short her plans. We didn’t tour the castle, but we saw so much, including a Roma and Sinti museum that left a powerful residual effect on me.
It is one of my favorites. I basically love the German and Austrian river towns. They are so incredibly peaceful and beautiful. And Heidelberg has this whole intellectual piece that permeates the atmosphere. I stayed in a hotel across the river that once must have been the most lovely old home. We walked for miles up and down the river and a mama swan showed me her eggs, repeatedly. She was justifiably very proud! ♡+:｡.｡☆*~ﾟ⌒(ღˇ◡ˇ)⌒ﾟ~*☆｡.｡:+♡
Beautiful. It is a city and country I still have yet to visit, but want to very much as my family were originally from Germany before their migration into Russia in the late 1700s. At least I got to see Russia in 1989, during the cold war. 🙂 There is so much of Europe I still want to see. You are so fortunate Cindy to be able to travel to so many wonderful places and so gifted with a camera to get such beautiful pictures. They are deserving of a place in a (real) photo gallery. 🙂
Thank you Joyce and I hope you do go to Germany. It is one of my favorite places to visit and it will have special significance to you with your family history. I think it is meaningful to retrace one’s roots. Have a great weekend my friend~
Exquisite photos, Cindy. Absolutely stunning. Your portfolio holds myriad pleasant memories for you. And you’ll appreciate them so much more 20 years from now when in your rocking chair in front of the hearth 🙂 ❤
Laughing…..I wonder if I will. My mother in law told me to throw out all the photos she saved through her life. I understood her completely. She was 94. She no longer wanted to look at photos of her kids and grandkids, or her life. At some point hopefully you just get tired and ready for sleep…..
Wow, this is the kind of scene that inspires paintings! Very picturesque with all that golden light. I like the time lapse as the light becomes intense in the 4th image from the top, bathing everything in it, and then naturally attenuates. So enchanting! <3
You are so perspicacious Lynn. That is exactly what it did. I watched it for four nights fascinated by the light and the way the rowers altered the reflections.
Thank you for sharing beautiful Heidelberg it brings back many fond memories. My middle son was born in the military hospital there. I enjoyed taking the train from Worms to Heidelberg to just enjoy the area and shop of course.
Wow, your pictures are so beautiful! 😍 I live in Münster-Germany, but I’ve never been to Heidelberg. Münster is a very beautiful city, too (a city of peace, of bicycles, of churches and Germany’s Climate Protection Capital). You should make a trip to this city, dear Cindy. 🙂 Best greetings, Hang
The more time I spend in Germany (and I manage to spend a lot of time in Germany) the more of Germany I want to experience. There is a magic here that is very hard to describe and best seen to experience. I must visit Munster. <3
Yes it does and it somehow interests me in that there is what you see, the real object, and it’s reflection, or is it the other way around? I love that confusion~
Vielen Dank. Jedes Mal, wenn ich von dir hörst, bin ich glücklich. Das ist die Wahrheit und ich denke, du weißt es. Bitte entschuldigen Sie meine sehr schlecht geschriebenen Deutschen. So, since my response is probably unintelligible, I just want to say that I feel happy everytime I hear from you. Serious. I do, and I hope you know it. Be well my friend~
Yes it definitely does! In fall in Germany, you wake up, bleary eyed, stick your camera out the window, and viola’, you have an amazing photo. I am especially good at these types of shots.
Ah the gift of sunsets!!! “If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.” G.K. Chesterton
Was für wunderschöne Bilder von Heidelberg, liebe Cindy! So hab ich die Stadt noch nie gesehen – obwohl ich gar nicht so weit weg davon wohne.
Alles Liebe,
Michael
Tremendous photographs, Cindy. The river reflections are sublime. They’re brought back some lovely memories. I was doing a theatre production in Frankfurt-am-Main in ’89 and visited Heidelberg at one point, only to fall in love!
Dear Cindy, I love your photos. 🙂
Ah, I love you! Thank you Ranu~
One of my favorite cities, which you captured beautifully!

Beautiful, so when is the calendar or coffee table being published?
Book
I wish!!! Thanks for the support & Happy Friday Antionette~ <3

The setting sun was stunning here. It lit up the town in this hazy wonderful light and threw reflections down upon the river. Lovely!
Gorgeous!
Alison
Thanks much my friend and bet you are enjoying being home for a change!
Yes I am!
Amazing!
Thank you. It is one of so many beautiful little German towns along rivers~
🙂
A city built of dreams. It’s our own Rivendell.
Yes! I love medieval European towns. I can imagine myself in a elfen world for days on end!
I agree, you would have an amazing book.
That is so nice and so appreciated. Thank you!
Glorious! What an awesome life you’re living, Cindy!
Like all lives, it has it’s share of good and bad. I just focus on the good.
Smart woman!
Like you~ <3
🙂
Cheers, Cindy. 🙂 What spectacular images! You travel to the most wonderful destinations…
Thank you. Beauty is everywhere. all around us. We just need to focus on it~

She was just one of thousands. Life has it’s own agenda and we adapt.
Yes she was and we do, but it is still sad. War is the saddest thing of all and we engage in it far too often~
I so agree and it never seems to solve anything for long.
War makes everything worse and we seem incapable of learning, so that could be our species epitaph.
I forgot to say how delighted I am that you are getting to see so much of all of the area. What an experience!
I love spending time in Germany~
Greatly appreciating those cheers from here Cindy. Lovely.
Ahhh, so thoughtful! Thank you~
Wow, just amazing.
It is a beautiful and historical city. It has it’s own unique character that is hard to describe~
Incredibly beautiful.
<3
You go to the most beautiful places sweetie
I feel lucky that you come with me~ <3
Beautiful pics
Thank you. It is pretty easy with a beautiful place. It just sits there waiting!
A beautiful series of photos, Cindy! I love the reflected scenes. Sunset provided a colorful palette for your lens.
It did, it bathed the town each night is this hazy glow. Lovely~
Stunningly Beautiful Cindy, you are so lucky to see these places! Breathtaking Beauty! 🙂
Thank you and I am very happy you enjoyed this beautiful town. Happy Friday!
Gorgeous photos, Cindy. <3 Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother’s Day Bette! I think this is the fifth we have celebrated together. I hope there are many more~ <3
Lovely
Honored. Thank you.

Oh my gosh, it is such a small world isn’t it. And it should be this way. What wonderful memories! <3
Yes I lived in that area for 5 years.
Amazing and wonderful!

I used to live in Germany and visited Heidelberg a number of times. It’s beautiful and so are your photos. 🙂
Ahhh, thank you so much. You made me smile~ <3
Wow, your pictures are so beautiful! 😍 I live in Münster-Germany, but I’ve never been to Heidelberg. Münster is a very beautiful city, too (a city of peace, of bicycles, of churches and Germany’s Climate Protection Capital). You should make a trip to this city, dear Cindy. 🙂 Best greetings, Hang

Very beautiful pictures. 🙂 I love reflections. As someone said, it gives you two pictures at the same price as one. 🙂
Yes it does and it somehow interests me in that there is what you see, the real object, and it’s reflection, or is it the other way around? I love that confusion~
Wunderschön Cindy. Ja, Heidelberg ist ein taffes Städtchen in Deutschland. Tolle Aufnahmen im Abendlicht, wow, Chapeau! Ernst
Vielen Dank. Jedes Mal, wenn ich von dir hörst, bin ich glücklich. Das ist die Wahrheit und ich denke, du weißt es. Bitte entschuldigen Sie meine sehr schlecht geschriebenen Deutschen.

Thank you very much.
I love the reflection. Thank you for sharing your photos, very beautiful pictures! Have a great weekend!
Thank you much more for you very kind appreciation.
Beautiful landscape Cindy! I bet it would look even more so during the fall time!
Yes it definitely does! In fall in Germany, you wake up, bleary eyed, stick your camera out the window, and viola’, you have an amazing photo. I am especially good at these types of shots.
You always take great shots Cindy!
Amazing beautiful photos, Cindy 🙂
Hugs to you Irene~ <3
Thank you and hugs to you too Cindy <3
The reflection on the water and the color is so vividly stunning. I love how “alive” it looks. Totally awesome!
Ahhh, such a thoughtful comment made my morning!
Reblogged this on Musings on Life & Experience and commented:
Beautiful pictures of Heidelberg from Cindy.
Hugs & gratitude to you Patricia for your kind thoughtfulness~
Magical reflections ! Charmed .
So happy you are & thank you!

Thank you more for the appreciation!
Delightful scenes!
Thank you Margaret, these river towns are delightful places~
The colours are gorgeous, Cindy! 🙂 Happy weekend!
Happy weekend to you Jo & thank you!

What a perfect lovely quotation and I am not familiar with either so thank you for the introduction & cheers to you Rebecca~
Yes Heidelberg is beautiful! Even nicer in your amazing pictures!
Ahh, so kind & so appreciated!
Was für wunderschöne Bilder von Heidelberg, liebe Cindy! So hab ich die Stadt noch nie gesehen – obwohl ich gar nicht so weit weg davon wohne.
Alles Liebe,
Michael
Vielen Dank! Es ist eine charmante Stadt, wie so viele in Deutschland. Es macht eine Menge Spaß, am Fluss zu wandern und in der Altstadt zu surfen
Love that warm light during this time of the day. It perfects the reflection of those buildings and houses on the water. Great captures!
So happy you enjoyed them my friend. I loved your green tree frog!
Absolutely stunning, Cindy!
Danke schoen!
Tremendous photographs, Cindy. The river reflections are sublime. They’re brought back some lovely memories. I was doing a theatre production in Frankfurt-am-Main in ’89 and visited Heidelberg at one point, only to fall in love!
Oh what a wonderful experience. Heidelberg has a special ambience that is hard to put into words. I am glad you experienced it!
So am I!. I’ve still a lot of photos to unpack.
I would love to see them!
It might be quite a while but I’ll definitely do a post.
Absolutely beautiful, Cindy! 🙂
Vielen dank mein lieber Freund!
