Fruit hanging from trees

All trees in the back yards from Salzburg to Frankfurt are dripping with fruit. It has been that sort of autumn.
On the Kauber Platte (the high flat hills a few km behind the Lorelei on Rhine River) apple trees are heavy with fruit and the laneways are red with rosehips hanging from the bushes.
I spent 3 days in Weisel on the Kauber Platte. When I wasn't walking among the fruit trees I was sleeping off my Maribor exhaustion - 10 hours a night every night. When I woke, this was the view out my attic window.

Boppard

If you are on the Rhine near the Loreley and want to get across the river you take one of the ferries. This photo was taken on a ferry to Boppart which is in the background.
Boppard is pretty with lots of cafes on the foreshore.

and houses like this one. Note the matching cushions on the chair.
