People in Heidelberg

To fully appreciate and record the experience of visiting Heidelberg, I've included in this album photographs of people. Many of these photos are of people from the area, but some include tourists. Most shots were taken with a zoom lens with the subjects unaware that they were being photographed.

Guttenberg Castle - Bird Sanctuary

Near Heidelberg is the Burg Guttenberg. A burg is a small castle I'm told. The baron who resides at this castle is a raptor bird lover and has established a bird sanctuary to include breeding and rehabilitation of wild eagles, falcons, owls, and vultures. These photographs include photos of some of the birds in cages or on their perches, as well as many from a show that the baroness presented along with her colleagues.
