Fragrant and colorful flowers line the entire “Postplatz” town square
May 6, 2015
I have been back home now for a bit, sorting through approximately 1500 ” keeper” photos that I took so I can relive the wonderful sights I enjoyed. Here are just a few more photos of the unique, beautiful, town of Gorlitz that I wanted to share….
This building on the right became the Town Hall in 1350. The tower has 2 clocks, the top clock measures the day, month and moon phase, the bottom clock tells the time of day and has a warrior’s head on it. His tongue used to stick out on the hour, but now he can only open his mouth.
The golden lion above the clocks supposedly whistles at particular moon phases.
The main entrance of the Town Hall has a balcony where public announcements were made.
While exploring, I noticed this little cutie talking to the statue who is holding a bowl of books.
Many doorways were so spectacular and inquisitive. Double clicking on the photo will show you better what I mean.
Lastly, what is a surviving medieval town worth if it does not have the playground to match?
Stay tuned – the very last posting from my Germany/Poland adventure follows….

I had forgotten how beautiful Germany is. Not fond of their superior attitude, but admire their love of beauty. I especially like the photo of the little girl. My favorite photos are ones that I have taken of local people in various places, but realize that it could get me in trouble from time to time. In The Netherlands, I took a photo of some religious Dutch people dressed in native costume who were walking home from church. They were not pleased. They must think similarly to the Amish that graven images are evil or that photos take their souls?? :o)
Do you know about what time Vance is coming to fix some of the cracks?
