I took this picture while on a serene cruise around an area near Berlin, Germany called the Spreewald. It's a magical area of beautiful little homes, some surrounded on several sides by water. A large network of canals, in most cases travelled by canoe- type boats which are moved along with a long punting stick. As my little blog grows day by day, I once again have the chance to revisit these wonderful places. So rather then my pictorial journey pining away in My Pictures folder, they now once again see the light of day. And delight me all over again, allowing me to re-visit that wonderful day. Doesn't get much better then that. The first picture is of a quiet section of the Spreewald, but often just around the corner, as your Punting Pilot enters a different canal all of the sudden the vista will open to a fairytale cottage and surrounding garden, such as the one in the second picture.
