When I visit old or historical sites, I don't want to be merely in awe by what have happened in the past. I am always on the look of how people nowadays interact with the old buildings, the old surroundings, and the old memories. Because for me, it's a proof that we don't set those sites into a graveyard-like mode: you go there only for worships, for nostalgic sensation.
I had been quite happy to find some interesting interactions
The courtyard of Hohes Schloss, Fussen.
I didn't expect to visit this town after visiting Nueshwanstein castle. Thanks to my Japanese friend, she said this town was a must-visit site in her tour book. When I first saw the castle from the outside, I thought, well, just another castle! But, when I saw the courtyard, I was completely charmed. Modern sculptures were scattered on the yard. It felt like Miro meeting Shakespeare. The tired and silent castle suddenly came into life.
Don't be fooled by these oriel windows. They were painted. I don't know who did these 3-D oriel windows. If they were from the medieval time, they must be the pioneers 3D street painters before Edgar Muller and Kurt Wenner.

The sculptures were so much fun to interact with.
What was I thinking? Kiss him and turn him into real one? silly!

The journey ended with gelato. But, when I looked around, I saw this inviting sign. Yes, need some huge German pretzels to satisfy my growling stomach.
