The Rathaus (City Hall) of Weimar at town square - reserved majesty almost French in character.
The Russian Orthodox Church in the town cemetary - the Slavic influence here.
A garden in the city - an oasis of peace and tranquility

And I'm havin a conversation with some bathers at the well....Hello all, we've been to Weimar, perhaps the most literary and cultural small town of Germany, and home to the Weimaraner - the breed of dog my family owned for 8 years. Goethe, Schiller, Wieland, and several other literary notables spent time here, and, as these pictures betray, this is a wonderful tourist attraction. It was warm on the day we visitied, so we could dine outdoors and enjoy the peace and baroque splendour of central Germany.
And, on another note, if you visit Germany, please notice that you must look long and hard to find a trash can - you cannot throw anything away! Unless, of course, you simply toss your refuse on the ground - not advisable, as this will garner you harsh words from others passing by. Where you buy things is where you find a trash can for refuse. That's it! So once you have something in your hand, it is not easy to get rid of it! The lesson - don't grab something unless you mean business!
In this sense I wish you a refuse-free weekend.

Very nice pictures. That is funny about no trash cans.
Do they have a rubbish collection in the city for residential houses if you have to take your refuse home with you?
Lovely looking place ... a great mix of cultures.
