    […] walking through the center of town, be aware of the Bächle that run along the side of the roads. Bächle are little streams or gutters of running water, and you’ll often see kids pulling little boats in […]

    what a fun game with perspective – makes the stream appear much larger than it is when shot that way. Kudos! Oh, btw I came to you via Laurence’s post on Finding the Universe about Freiburg im Breisau.

      Thanks. That was a really fun day of shooting. I like the details of places and how they tend to get overlooked by traveling too fast. That is the intention of the site.

    What a unique feature of Freiburg! The little streams remind me of the Alhambra in Spain.

    They remind me a bit of Mittenwald. I can only imagine how much the children must love these! I’m looking forward to seeing them in a week when I arrive 🙂

      When are you in Freiburg? How long are you here?

    I love that little boat! That’s funny about the legend. So nobody wants to marry a local then, I take it? 🙂

      The boat picture was my favorite as well. I expect it is like the legend around Trevia Fountain in Rome, some way of being connected to a place.

      I had a lot of fun with this. These are just a tiny percentage of the number of them in town. I may make some more.

    So cool! I love these quirky finds in Europe. You guys did an awesome job capturing the little canals on photo…

      Thanks. This is my hometown now, I like even seeing it from a different perspective.

    Those are really funky, and obviously having never visited Freiburg, I’ve never heard of them 🙂 Thanks for sharing a bit of your hometown 😀

      Thanks. You definitely need to make a side trip and come visit this winter. See the Baechle for yourself.
