Baldegg in reverse
Baldegg ("a" as in alms, and the "gg" is a k) is an area in Baden, up on a hill. There's a restaurant there, with a nice view of the mountains (weather permitting). The script of this sign is based on an old document.
Link to the restaurant.

Memories of Fasnacht 2007
It's that time of year again. Almost. This is a photo from a Fasnachts parade in 2007 in Olten if memory serves.

Lenzburg castle looming
Sorry about the lack of creativity in the titles.
I had mentioned a stone age burial site that was found in this area. I haven't found a lot of information about it, but for my readers who can deal with German, below is a link to a short description that might be of interest. I know, I should be able to do a decent translation, but I just don't have the time.
Link to an entry about the Lenzburg burial site in the Historisches Lexikon der Schweiz.

Lenzburg castle right
The oldest part of this castle dates back to 1100. However, the hill itself held a burial ground from the Neolithic (ca 5000 BC) period. Between 1860 and 1956 the castle was bought and sold several times. From 1893 to 1956 it was owned by members of an American family originally from Ohio.
Link to the Wikipedia entry (in English) about the castle.
Link to rough Wikipedia entry about James Ellsworth, the American owner.

Lenzburg castle through trees
This is a view of Lenzburg castle from atop the hill that yesterday's stairway leads to. Somewhat better photos coming up in the next few days.
