Dueling Continents: late Summer in Alpenvorland

[Eurobabe]

Okay, so I am seeing all these beautiful mountain shots, I figured I would post what lies at the end of my street...about a 5 minute walk from my house there is a Landschutzgebiet, (a land preserve/nature preserve) Looking south at the German Alpenvorland, near Garmisch-Partenkirschen. Taken at about 6pm. Light fades fast here!

1. Amazing

Thanks for sharing your 'hood!

At the end of our street there's a pharmacy and a pizza place. One of these days I'll post some panoramas of them.:dunce:

5. Wow, you are lucky.

I have a laundomat, a no-tell Motel, and a car dealership.

6. Strangely, that could be a handy confluence of businesses

Come to think of it, so could the pizzeria and the drug store.:o

10. I got bums and hookers at the end of mine.

Photogenic as they may be, they don't sign releases.:rofl:

Oh' and an Arby's.

2. Gorgeous

Can we come visit? It looks much warmer than Alaska ...

[Eurobabe]

3. Sure! It was about 70 today, clouds and sun

September better be mild, we had an awfully rainy late July, early-mid August.

4. Very nice, 48%er...

You were saying your weather was much like ours - your scenery is, too. I enjoy seeing these as I've never been to Europe.

ed. It IS warmer, though. I've got to agree with Crisco on that one. It's just 55 here this morning.

7. Well, it's about 108 here, so your 55 sounds fabulous! nt

9. Oh, my God, I think I would melt at that temp.

Ed. -- Oh, of course -- HOUSTON! I did live there for seven years, but I don't remember it ever getting quite that hot. I was never more pleased to leave a place than I was to leave Houston after I graduated from college. :)

11. I loathe the heat here; no fun to be outside, and I keep waiting

for the pool (not refreshing) to start bubbling when it hits boiling. x(

[babylonsister]

8. To wake up to that every day would be heaven! I'm jealous! nt

[Eurobabe]

12. Well, I do have to walk 5 minutes south

but if I go up to the third floor of my house and look south I can see the tops of the mountains. It is extremely beautiful here, in every season.
