Peace Garden in Bitche & Bodensee lake

The Monday after family day, we went to see the Citadel and Peace garden in a village by the name of Bitche which sounds like Beach when the French say it. But sounds like it is spelled when you don't use the French accent.
I don't know what this garden was called. The peace garden was a series of separate gardens, each with a theme. On this one, the walking path was made up of broken blue glass. The edges were not sharp and it was about three different shades of blue. So it was like I was walking on water. The blue glass things above my head had at times some mist coming out of the tubes to represent either clouds or fog? It was cool.
Then we took a three hour drive to southern Germany to Bodensee lake with another cousin and his wife. This is B&B we stayed in.
And this is what we saw when we came out of our B&B. It was a beautiful lake.

Another view of one of the harbours.

I REALLY like the first photo - from Bitche. Excellent photo.

Also the one of York Cathedral ain't half-bad. :-)

Hey ED, this is Mike R. I haven't commented on here yet, but thot I should say something about the Bitche village you visited. My mother's maiden name is Beachy which was changed from Bitche when they came over here.
