I’m on an August Break from my regular blogging schedule. Here’s today’s picture.
When I started thinking about how I was going to fill my August Break with photos, I decided that I wanted to showcase things that are part of my life here- things that are commonplace to me, but that don’t really get into other posts very much. This is a big one- it’s turned up in a few of my posts, but I don’t really focus on it all that much most of the time.
This is the view of my adopted German hometown that I never really get tired of: Looking south from the Stone Bridge over the Donau river, looking toward the Altstadt and the Dom, our amazing cathedral.
I joke that Germany (and Europe) is full of churches the way Georgia is full of Waffle Houses, but it’s still pretty amazing to see them in person.
Do you have a favorite cathedral?
Whimsy. Tacos. The DMV. 
Good to see the water where it should be. Our new town as an Altstadt. I don’t think I will tire of the slate and timbers. And the flower boxes right now are at their peak. Have been enjoying the pictures, keep them coming.

Man, Regensburg is scenic. All the colorful buildings! Do I have a favorite cathedral? Several actually (and the list is a little outdated now): http://cndrnh.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/my-10-favorite-churches-so-far.html

Yes – as much as I like the Dom in Regensburg, I like Santa Maria del Mar (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Maria_del_Mar / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Maria_del_Mar,_Barcelona ) the most. The inside is very clean and communicates the impression of space very well. 🙂

I quite liked the outer facade of Santa Maria del Mar, too.

I am from India and sometime it is quite confusing about what is the actual name of this cathedral ?? Regensburg Dom, St Peters Cathedral or Regensburg Cathedral ????
But whatever would be its name, it is really great spot to visit in Regensburg.
