Photo Friday - Letter C I am late, but it is still Friday! LOL Photos: 1) Cats we bought at an estate sale. 2) A cleft Gene made from a left over piece of cherry wood. 3) to 8 ) Castle Katz (Cat) in Saint Goarshausen high above the River Rhine. On both sides of the river there are many castles, most are refurbished and open for visitors. On one side of a tower we saw a wooden staircase. We walked up to the top to find out what was behind the door at the end. When we opened the door, we were welcomed by a group of men who enjoyed their after work happy hour with bottles of beer in the castle's armory. Gene, the American, had to sit at the top of the table with one of the spiked helmets on his head which were stored on an open shelve on the wall. LOL We had a great time and learned a lot about the history of Castle Cat.....         Happiness is when what you think, what you say, what you do are in harmony - M. Gandhi |

My favorite is that carving of the cleft.... what a talent that took to design and carve, and what a treasure that is for you. I've never seen a castle in person, but when I see pictures, I often wonder what it must have been like to live in one. It's hard to imagine the difficulty of it, with all the grandeur, but compared to our cozy homes, they don't look like comfort. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

What a fun surprise behind the wooden door, a reward for having made the effort to climb to the top of the stairs, lol. You all look to be having fun  The elegant cherry wood clef would be my favourite also - your friend Gene did a beautiful job.

Wonderful set of pictures Myseek. I love visiting old castles, we have a great selection of castles here in Ireland to choose from. I love the cute little cat ornaments and the cleft, beautiful piece of workmanship by your friend Gene.

Loved your array of photos depicting the letter "C". I especially liked the wooden cleft that Gene carved. That is an unique piece. Germany is steeped in history with all of it's castles.

I had never seen a castle until Alfie took me to a couple when we were in England a few years ago. One was York Castle and the other was Nottinghamshire Castle.

It's hard to imagine the difficulty of it, with all the grandeur, but compared to our cozy homes, they don't look like comfort. That castle was built in 1271. Throughout the course of history the owners changed several times and wars destroyed it partially. The main wing has been refurbished and visitors can walk into the rooms and imagine what life has been like at times long past.

Wonderful set of pictures Myseek. I love visiting old castles, we have a great selection of castles here in Ireland to choose from. I love the cute little cat ornaments and the cleft, beautiful piece of workmanship by your friend Gene. I took pictures of one castle near Galway when I visited Ireland some years ago. I don't remember its name. That castle was well maintained! Happiness is when what you think, what you say, what you do are in harmony - M. Gandhi
