Wave-Gotik Treffen: photo dump the second
When you're in Europe and you're American, sometimes you just have to walk around and take pictures of the architecture. These photos were all taken in or near the old center ("Mitte" or "Zentrum") of Leipzig.
Some buildings were modern...
...but most weren't.
...and a few were even ridiculously ornate. Also ridiculously ornate are the bird calls that I heard while sitting where I took this photo. Kraftwerk included them at the start of their song "Morgenspaziergang" on the Autobahn LP. They were so fantastical I didn't believe they weren't synthesized until I heard them in Germany.
And this being Europe, you gotta have some churches. Here's a Reformed...
...so what's this church, a criminal or something?
This is the one with Bach (maybe) buried inside it. It's definitely the one where he worked for 27 years.
This? Not a church, but still cool.
Marktplatz, which was having a wine festival while I was there.
Neues Rathaus — the "New" City Hall...
...with the Pied Piper in front? I don't even know. But it's got the Ratskeller in the basement, where you can get a huge beer with your salad that has sorbet on top.
Anyway. Leipzig. Freude.
