I’m back processing a few old pictures (and some more recent ones) in between trying to do school work and work overtime at my job. Now that the weather in Ireland has reverted to the chill of fall, let’s see if I can get some new stuff posted and viewable from my busy life. 🙂
This is more from my day trip to Lutherstadt-Wittenberg, Germany back in 2009 with the Toytown Photo group. It took place on September 19, 2009 – two years ago today.
Population about 50,000, this town sits along the beautiful Elbe river. This is the famed town of Martin Luther, where he wrote and posted his edicts on the church doors as part of the Protestant revolution. When in Germany, this town is one of the “must see’s” because of its place in history and the role it played as a part of “enlightenment”.
The main pilgrimage point in town is actually the Schloss kirche, upon which Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis on the door of the church back on October 31, 1517. The original door no longer exists, but today, the door is metal with a cast plate of the thesis itself.
