Elle Emin Opee

L
This one is ‘left over’ from Prague and is the West Entrance to St. Charles’ Bridge.


M
Is found in the ceiling of a church in Andernach, the town Fireball lives in. The church was built in the mid 1200s. It is the first church I have seen the inside of in Europe. One of F’s friends attends here (thus the reason I thought it was ok to walk in since the friend was with us). There is another story of this same woman in ‘O’.


N
When I think of Germany, I picture fachwerk houses. Fachwerk is constructional design of a house that is from medial times with cross word work This N was found in the main center of Braunfels, Germany. An entire update will be dedicated to this town. Check back later.


O
One of Fireball’s good friends is a direct descendant of one of the oldest families in Andernach (second oldest town in Germany). The shop she owns has been in her family for over 300 years and is the oldest store of its kind in Germany. She even lives in the castle’s wall! Her mother is the last candle-master in Germany (though the shop doesn’t sell candles, which I find odd). This O is the front door to the house she lived in as a girl and was also the storefront’s door for many (many) years. Even though I have found many O’s, I thought this one had a good story.

This is a very good "O" i must agree. I'm guessing that your photo hunt is the alphabet? Ver nice!
