got framed....

during the last picture 'exercise', we were on a ski trip to Switzerland and did manage to see a bit of Munich and Rothenburg, Germany....  Finding photo opportunities that made it easy to 'frame' were around every corner, (much easier that finding something to shoot in my kitchen....)  Yes, I know I'm late but hell, Lynn said there are no 'rules'!!!
the Swiss Alps....  heading for Samnaun, Switzerland..
 
 
the following was taken from a window in the 'Neuschwanstein' castle in Frussen, Germany.  
 
 

Rothenburg Germany - one of the portals of the outer walls of the 'walled' city.  Just a few weeks before the end of WWII, the US Allies had the city surrounded and was preparing to flatten it as there were a large number of German troops holed up inside the city.  As the story goes, the mother of the US Secretary of War asked her son to spare the city (as she had been there before and knew of it's historical significance. )  The Allies negotiated with the Germans to 'get out of dodge', which they did and the city survived.  Do not miss this city if you're over there - we stayed in a hotel within the walls and it was truly memorable.............

    Hey Rex,
    Glad you did this one. Now you can look at our's.
    They are all good examples of framing. I was a bit suprised with my own pictures how it really adds to almost any photo.
    These were all very good shots. Love the European look of the cities.
