From My Archive I Choose…

X is for Xanten…

Photos taken during a visit twenty years ago, so please forgive the lack of detailed descriptions.  Also, I apologise for any liberties I have taken with the German language in the notes below the photos.

  1. wonderful tribute to XANTEN!
    P.S.:

    1. Thanks Frizztext – sorry I don’t seem to have any shots of the Dom!

  2. That is really a long time ago. Wonderful photos. 🙂

    1. Hi Nandini – Ancient history 😉

  3. Great shots Martin and I am sure it is as lovely now as i looks to have been then though to tell you the truth, twenty years ago doesn’t seem so long ago!

    1. Hi Patti – I visited this town with a girlfriend before I met my good lady, so it’s a world away for me! 🙂

  4. These give me itchy feet, Martin. I long to go travelling once more. And well done for finding an ‘X’!

    1. Thanks Kate – I only have to go near a railway station to get itchy feet 😉

  5. Xanten! OMG — we were there, with a dear German friend, oh at least then, maybe when you were there?
    Saw the big Roman archaological site, and a small church with whimsical brass sculptures on the altar table, etc. of forest creatures, enchanting. I especially loved the hedgehog.
    Memories!

    1. Hi Judith… Small world isn’t it! I have some shots from the Roman site too but thought I’d save them for another post 🙂

  6. ‘X’quisite, Martin!
    🙂

    1. LoL Bob – hope you are keeping well 🙂

  7. Looks like a lovely placeMartin. I’m still way behind in all my blog reading. Just been so busy lately. Only posting twice a week now.

    1. Err… that should be “place (PRESSING SPACEBAR this time) Martin”

      1. I really wordpress.com had comment editing like I’ve got on my site

      2. Drats… It should read “I really WISH wordpress.com had comment editing like I’ve got on my site

      3. Hi Tony – I understand your angst… Don’t you just love recalcitrant keyboards 😉 I wouldn’t worry too much about typo’s mate – everyone makes them. Your comments are always welcome with or without them 🙂

        I too have been busy and find myself playing catch-up. The good thing is that I’ve been spending more time that is free on the Radio and that should give me material for Y 😉

    1. Thanks Jen 🙂 Hope you are well

  8. Amazing, adventurous images.

  9. Great X photos! And to have them for 20 years, that’s pretty cool.
