I traveled a bit further afield to the large town of Burgdorf, which means "fortress village" and is so named because it is dominated by a fortress sitting on a high outcropping.
Gallery: June 17 — Burgdorf area 1
Typical interior of the local trains — very new and nice.
A carefully sculpted plaster Ründi.
Some massive walls. I don't remember noticing that grounded roof at the bottom right before now.
A covered bridge in Burgdorf with fantastic structure.
Foundation piles for something new.
A small coppery snake. I moved it off the trail, holding it carefully with sticks — a challenge.
View out to the northwest. The mountains on the horizon are the Jura, I believe.
Fruits or nuts on a vibrant tree (besides a few withered branches). Not sure what sort of tree.
Nice colors and oval Ründi on this farmhouse.
A pretty, whitewashed outbuilding. I'm curious what it's used for, because the roof is unusually steep for here, and the front window is unusual as well.
A big town Bauernhof.
Another happy vine.
A rather grand hotel — the hedge along the road was so high that I had to jump up to see this directly, and hold the camera overhead to get the shot.
...And then I realized the hedge was lower just a little further on, once I got there.
A wildly wide eave.
