on monday we headed to oberwesel to have a look at the medieval spectacle that takes place here every two years. they close down the inner city just for this. everything that looks kind of modern is covered with blankets and flags. and it's like you're trapped in the middle of a medieval market day, unless you proceed to ignore the modern looking visitors. i love these kind of events so much. i know that the dark ages weren't exactly rosy, but still, i can't help to feel a deep love for this era.
procession.
the tent of the unfortune-teller.
happy grandma stitching.
forging.
cute dog with pony tail.
the knight's inn.
i loved these wooden lamps!
a huge piece of blue glass.
candles in the making.
a beautiful place to rest.
musicians.
walking on hay.
stilt walker and hand reader.
the falcons and owls were so precious!
cloudbusting! it was very hot that day and we were very thankful of every cloud!
and furunkulus playing! they're a rather well known medieval band on markets like these.
old man dancing.
the whole group.
goodbye oberwesel, until next time!
