Rheinishces Freilichtmuseum

Yeah, that's a mouthful. Basically, this was a bunch of typical traditional houses from the Rhine regions of germany organized into "villages" by area and spread out on top of a forested hill. It was a lot more interesting than it sounds.



The houses were all this "fachwerk" construction, some whitewashed, some not.








The interiors were really dark, and really small. I wasn't able to take many good pictures of them, but the were what you's expect: unfinished, irregular, and, above all, tiny. Winter must have been a pain.







This is a house form further north on the Rhine, where it gets flatter and wetter and the wind always comes form the same direction. I admire the way these houses were transplanted. They even planted the traditional tree windbreak (left, out of the picture) for this house.

Some of the other intrepid adventurers, presented in tryptich.

Here, from right to left we have Vedashree, who just kinda jumped into the pretty window picture I was photographing and made it even prettier; Johanna and the french girl who stayed with us for two weeks, and whose name I can't remember, together with Vedashree; and signe, uh... scratching her nose. With her middle finger. She doesn't like getting photographed.

More pictures for your enjoyment

P.S: There are more things I have photographed in the past month. I have vacation these next two weeks, so you'll be seeing more of this.
