Autumn Again

2014-11-11

“Autumn” is also this week’s Pabuca topic. Last week, I already presented a selection of 59 sunny autumn pictures all of which can be viewed on Flickr – but I’ve kept three for Pabuca, three that are more related to Pfaffenhofen than colorful leaves that can be found virtually anywhere. :)

Let’s start with the “Hopfenmeile” (“hop mile”), the local harness racing track – which closed a couple of years ago:

The white blocks in the background belong to the pharmaceutical company Daiichi Sankyo which has a large production and development facility here:

And this is a small village named Sulzbach:

Grey

Whether it’s grey or gray to you, it’s still the current Pabuca topic. But don’t be afraid of dull greys – that’s what this bridge at the local train station says:

furcht

Speaking of train station: Sometimes, trains seem to be going into the grey nowhere…

This old house combines so many shades of grey, a little color around it can’t be wrong:

History

2014-10-21

Current Pabuca topic. Hmm, I’ve shown several photos containing Pfaffenhofen’s history in one kind or another before. So what should I take this time?

I decided I get something from the archive: from last year’s celebration of the 575th anniversary of when Pfaffenhofen was first mentioned as town (the place itself existed before: first mentioned in 1140, “market” in 1197, “oppidum” in 1318).

Bouncing town halls – that is, bouncing castles looking like the town hall – probably aren’t that old:

But documents may be so old:

And a genuine photo from the city’s marching band back then: ;)

New

2014-10-14

Everything stays the same: a new Pabuca topic called “New”.

Around here, the streets are being renovated – but before everything new is finished, there are intermediate stages. But it’s supposed to be completed in the next few days.

Something new for the “old ones” – new building for the old people’s home:

The old ones make space for the new – on the bargain table of a bookstore with a former stationery department:

But even these typewriters once were novelties!
