clearing storm over St. Pankraz

Clearing storm over St. Pankraz

St. Pankraz church is built on one of the oldest inhabitated places in the valley of Bad Reichenhall. Accessible through only a narrow footpath, this location was safe from attacks from below and must have been an old ritual place, too. One of my best christmas experiences is connected with this church: walking 1 hour through the snow, with a pitch-torch in the hand, and then attending midnight mass.

Thank you for making my day with this photo. I've been a bit melancholy, but it's clearing, just like the storm in this photo of a place I love

Speak of a lonely place. The only problem with Bavarian churches is, that they always look like freshly built. There is simply too much money in Bavaria :)

Nice.

Hm, I'm not a real church person - but that sounds like a nice experience. Especially the torch-walk through the snow. And it seems to be a great landscape for such a hike...

Ein herrliches Foto: evoziert für mich sowohl unseren letzten Besuch dort im Herbst (http://beltwild.blogspot.com/2008/10/es-braust-ein-ruf-wie-donnerhall-es.html) als auch meine Präferenz für Kupfertiefdruck-Bildbände (http://beltwild.blogspot.com/2008/01/wer-hat-uns-den-kupfertiefdruck.html).
