I am not a post-card photographer, yet, occasionally, I give in to the wishes of some of my post-card-hungry admirers. Here's a picture of Büdingen, a town about 27 miles from Frankfurt. It's an old town, mentioned as far back as 1287 AD, and was fortunate to escape serious damage in World War II. There's a castle, now used as a hotel, and many, many old houses. Note the timber-framed (Fachwerk) buildings, similar to the British Tudorbethan architecture. Note also the seal of the town shown on the right.

I like those old buildings!
The wood is so lively!
I've been to Monschau a couple of times, and there are also those wood buildings!
