World Wide SketchCrawl number 44: Saxon Switzerland National Park

World Wide SketchCrawl number 44: Saxon Switzerland National Park:
Better posted late than never: After a week of illness and a day in a most helpful German hospital, went on a "Cure" to Saxon Switzerland National Park near the Czech/German border. Sara carried me up the mountain with her unending optimism. Pinnacles like fingers pointing to heaven looked like Durer's drawings, but were more famously painted by Caspar David Friedrich and the Romantics. Tibetan monk in "safety orange" robes on Bastei Bridge. Impressive stonework by men and nature. Old castle ruins and an angel on the peak. Wind and Acapella choir's songs echoing through the mountains and valleys.
