Exploring Nuremberg before the start of the International Ceramic Artist Residency in Römhild Germany 2018

After waiting for about 12 hours at Bristol Aiport yesterday on the 2nd of August 2018 due to a flight cancelation to Nuremberg Germany I finally managed to have a flight re-arranged and get into Nuremberg on the 3rd of August 2018. Wow, that was a new experience.

Old and new

Bronze fountain sculpture in Nuremberg titled "the Ehekarussell"  which apparently translates to the marriage merry-go-round by artist Jürgen Weber. To find more infomation about his sculpture feel free to see: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/ehekarussell

In a short space of time I have just about manniged to see as much as I can in Nuremberg. A facinating city full of history. 

I also went to the house of the painter Albrecht Durer, wel worth the visit to get an idea of who he was. Unfortuantly my camera run out of battery power before I arrived so I did not have the oppertunity to take any photos.
