Swabian T-Shirts

A common sight near our village - the thermals seem to be good here. There seems to be a small plane advertising a local furniture store in there as well.

I lived in a small town by Stuttgart/Germany for a few years. The landscape around there is very beautiful. This painting shows the Hohenlohe Open Air Museum in Schwaebisch Hall-Wackersdorf. It is painted with Da Vinci Watercolor tubes on Arches cold pressed paper.

Cool Swabian design for Black Forest and all men and women who come from the Black Forest region and love the National Park. Also great as a souvenir for your next holiday in Germany.

You don't need a "Bollenhut" to show that you are a Swabian from the Black Forest. A motif that shows that you come from the southwest. Be proud that your home is in baden-wuerttemberg.

Grabbed at my favourite spot on the way to work recently - the fog is suspended over the River neckar valley.

This vertical design rotor was erected by the Dornier company, better known for building aeroplanes, on a windy spot near Heroldstatt on the Swabian hills in 1990 as an experiment to measure how efficient it was at producing electricity from wind power. The big advantage of the design (which originates from 1931 from the French engineer Georges Jean Marie Darreius) was that the moving parts were at ground level and therefore easy to access for maintenance. Unfortunately, it became clear that this design was less efficient than the more familiar rotor blades attached to a horizontal turbine, and as far as I know this is now the only example of the Darrieus rotor still standing in Germany. It no longer runs. More information on the Darrieu...
