Brixen

Bit by bit I am adding most of the pics I took on my road trip. It seems like ancient history, but just a week ago I was still in Lausanne. These four pics are from the delightful town on Brixen (Bressanone in Italian) in the South Tyrol, or what the Italians call the Alto Adige. I visited this town by accident as I missed a turn on a roundabout, ended up going down a one way street which brought me to a parking space in front of the bridge into the old part of town. That was serendipity! You can see one of two churches in the main square (the place is VERY Catholic), the square itself and the inside of the baroque cathedral. The Pope is scheduled to make a short holiday in this town soon. There were banners in welcome all over the place. I am amazed that these pictures came out so well. That *&^%$# camera may be complicated to operate, but it does take photos of remarkable quality -- even though I barely know how to operate it! [BTW, click on any image to enlarge it.]
