Idyllisches Xaverienthal

I understand there’s no point in making manual images of reality anymore, as AI is everywhere and even part of Photoshop now. But on a June Tuesday when the hell of summer hadn’t yet broken through and a walk through the woods sounded like a good idea, I took my old camera out.

Into the woods, which were swarming with biting flies and overgrown with contact dermatitis. Yay summer.

I had seen this chapel in the Xaverienthal (not even a wide spot in the road between Altenhausen and Zellhausen, north of the woods) on a map and decided to check it out.

It might be crooked, or I might be. Hard to know these days.

It’s on the Denkmalpflegeliste–but they can’t tell me anything about it except it’s a 19th-century neogothic chapel with a choir loft. Which I was able to figure out myself by looking at it, thanks, guys!

Built in 1863.

Door was locked, but someone waters the begonias on the altar…

Simple but effective. I like it.

And then, since I was *not* going back into the mosquito thirst trap, I walked home a longer, dustier way, in violent sunshine. A selection of photos from the journey:

Nicht gaaaaaanz schlecht.
