A more tasteful tower.

This is the iconic Holstentor in Lubeck... or at least, this is how it looks made out of marzipan. The real gate and huge towers were shrouded in scaffolding and draped in a photographic reproduction... making for a rather surreal approach to the city. The gate was there, but... not exactly.





A market was happening that day in front of the Rathaus (1250). The whole area smelled like sausages.





This is a close up of the glazed brick on the Rathaus. It had a beautiful iridescent quality, and was used in several places in town, including the Holstentor. If we could have seen it.





One of the main streets in the old part of town. The banners on the right hand side with the woman's picture on them were related to the big election being held while we were there. There were political billboards and banners everywhere as we traveled the country.
