Schneefall in Freiburg


Morning snapshot as I leave for town. First snowfall in Freiburg.


Christmas Market, Freiburg. Town Hall in the background. View from the resident director's decked-out eight floor apartment with surround sound window-walls.

A friend and I wanted to take a train to Strassbourg but couldn't due to financial complications and confusing schedules. Decided we would take the train that happened to be at the station on it's way to Neuenburg. It got to Müllheim and told everyone to get off. This was not where we wanted to go, and we weren't really sure how we ended up there. It's not a prime place to end up. It's not really a place at all. Maybe it was the one inch covering of snow, but it didn't look like there was any sign of life whatsoever. Also, although it boasts trains to Neuenburg every thirty minutes, there are none. We eventually got back on the exact train we had taken there from Freiburg to go right back home. We sat with someone who was rather peeved. He had spent two and half hours at the station waiting for any of the many trains to Neuenburg, but they never came. I don't think I'll go back. The train ride was however warm and cozy. And I like this picture.
