As I mentioned
yesterday in my rambling nostalgia post,
my brother is in Norway. He already uploaded a few pictures on Facebook. The world has definitely become a much smaller place. Among them, a picture of an old (medieval?) tower, absolutely beautiful. I apologise if I did not publish here, but these are his pictures and he has a blog, so I will let him do it himself. That said, he wrote on Facebook a great unknown line, not a funny/comical one, but something that sums up in a nutshell the look of the old continent: "
It wouldn't be Europe without an old tower". It is true. I wonder if only tourists or immigrants like me notice it.

I remember as a child visiting Britain. I would complain that my parents were dragging us to yet another 'old church'. Some of these were magnificent cathedrals, but as a child not fully appreciating the architecture or history, they all started to look the same. Your brother's line is most true:-)
Sure am glad these historical architectural structures are still in the landscape.. beauty from the past.
For those who want to know, it's the Rosenkratz tower.
@Anonymous-As a child I was a devout Catholic, so was always in awe looking at cathedrals.
@Gwen-I am glad too. Beauty from the past, and beauty that lasted.
@PJ-Merci.
