The Black Forest in the Fall


The autumn leaves have been very vibrant this fall. What a change for me from the evergreens of Southeast Alaska to the colors of the Black Forest. The hillsides have been decorated in oranges, red, yellows, and browns. These pictures do not do the beauty of the Black Forest justice.

I went on a walk with my good friend, Carrie Beth, and we came across 2 of the seven dwarfs. The German people seem to enjoy yard gnomes and decorations. I had a great time with these two.

This is the small village of Kaltenbach near Marzell where the Sonne dorm in located. As Carrie Beth and I walked along we came across goats and cows on the hillsides. The small villages of Germany are very quaint and everything you would expect of a German village.
