More Germany Pics - Wednesday

Ok I know this post is extremely heavy on photos but some of these pics are incredible in my opinion. I had the opurtunity to goto Nordlingen and Die Klosteranlage Neresheim (Say that quick 3 times).

Nordlingen is in the middle of a meteor crater, but to me that is not why it was cool. This is the town where they shot the final scenes of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory with the glass elevator. When they are flying over the town in the end that is the town you see, needless to say, I was stoked. FYI the rest of the movie was shot in Munich.

Die Klosteranlage Neresheim is an active monastery and church. This cathedral had some of the most impressive fresco painting I have ever seen. Painting on the frescos alone took 6 years. I know these photos don’t it justice but have a look.

For more information on each photo, click on it and it will take you to Flickr with a description for each image. If you have a Flickr account you can also see a larger version of each of these, I suggest it for the fresco shots. I hope you enjoy!
