A HDR image of Monschau with it famous red house. Since you all like history here is a little more information. The town is located in the hills of the Eifel, within the Hohes Venn – Eifel Nature Park in the narrow valley of the Rur river. The historic town center was not destroyed in World War II, thus the many half-timbered houses and narrow streets nearly unchanged for 300 years make it a popular tourist attraction nowadays. Historically the main industry of the town were cloth-mills. The "Red House" of Monschau, is the ancestral home of the Scheibler family. I will post one or more interior images if you like.

Paul - The details of these buildings are wonderfully presented. I like the ruins atop the hill as well. Thad

It is not "The powerful attack the weak." it is "The fearful attack what they fear."
