A view of #Heidelberg from the walk up to the castle there.
This is a view of Heidelberg from a nearby hillside. The Neckar river can be seen at the top of the photograph. Many relatively low buildings can be seen throughout the town. A pretty brown tower rises above the rest of the town.

Part of the ruins of #Heidelberg castle.
This photograph shows a large tower that is part of the ruins of #Heidelberg castle. About two thirds of the wall of the tower is standing. The other third has broken away, but is still fairly close to where it once stood.

Another photo from the #Arizona countryside.
A close up photo of a plants around a rocky outcrop. There is a bush with red flowers on top of the rocks. Lots of yellow flowers are in front and behind the bush.

The landscape in #Arizona really is impressive. Hopefully, the politics there will catch up to the natural beauty.
A hill in Arizona with bright blue sky, a cloud above. The hill has a large number of cacti growing on the hillside. The tallest are probably 10 feet. There are also a number of small yellow and white flowering plants on the hillside.

I saw a post recently that suggested that crowding in cities was mainly due to cars. This photo from #Amsterdam helps make that point, although in Amsterdam something similar might be said about bikes.
A canal in Amsterdam with a pedestrian footbridge. There are 4 story brick buildings on either side. Many different types of boats are moored in the canal. Parked cars line the streets in both directions.
