Evening at the Burghausen Castle

 We rode to the castle this evening on our bikes and then walked the mile down the length on the cobblestone road. I stopped and snapped this picture back toward our apartment. You can see the Alps on the horizon in the sunset! I've heard you can see them from Burghausen...but this is the first time we actually have. At first glance you think it is just clouds.
 The castle was beautiful. People who live at there were just getting home and having dinner. There were a lot of beautiful, yet simple Christmas decorations in the windows.
 Mine and Billy's shadow was cast on a wall as we were looking at the old town below. This wall is 12-15 feet high.
The night became very black and the castle stood out perfectly against the velvety background.
It was a beautiful evening to be there.
