beige_alertMaybe this comparison is unfair or something, but, still, see below two photos taken out of windows at two conventions, WindyCon in a suburb of Chicago and FilkCONtinental in Germany:

But seeing the mist coming up over the hills from the window on FilkContental mornings is one of the most magical things I've ever seen :). Photos can't do it justice.

And for that matter, as painfully lovely as Hattingen is, that parking garage we parked in was probably the ugliest I've ever been in, and it's not like they are usually pretty over here. (Except the one in the art museum in Milwaukee, which is probably the most expensive place in Milwaukee to park a car. The museum itself is all bright shiny well-lit white surfaces, and even the parking garage is shiny and white and well-lit. It was amazing.) And see the madfilkentist's photo from Köln linked to below.
