8/365 - Luxembourg - a photo on Flickriver

8/365 - Luxembourg

            Adriana and I spent the day in Luxembourg today.  It was actually a really nice day, even though it poured all night long.  The city sits atop a series of valleys, so it's been a defensive location throughout much of history.  The area has a lot of really cool bridges that remind me of ancient Roman aquaducts, You can also go down into a "village" called the Grund that sort of sits in one of the valleys, and then from there you can look up and see the city walls towering over you.  

Luxembourg is technically the 6th smallest country in Europe.  Growing up I always thought it was the smallest, so of course throughout the day I'm driving Adriana crazy acting like Cliff Claven and telling her it's a little known fact that Luxembourg is the 6th smallest country in all of Europe.  

Tomorrow we're renting a car and heading north to see some of the castles.  It's been a while since I've driven so should be quite the adventure!  This particular shot was taken around Ponte Adolphe, the bridge that you see to the right.  Right at twilight the clouds got really great so I'm pleased with the way this turned out.  

I'll be creating a Luxembourg set later this week to show you some other pics from our trip as well.

I recommend pressing "L" to view large on black!
