Lazy Sunday

Today was my second Sunday in Mannheim. I decided to take a ride downtown and snap some more photos of the area.

This is on the way to downtown. On the right is the U.S. Army's Turley barracks. This is now a ghost town because it was closed during the BRAC agreement. It still has barbed wire fence surrounding and says U.S. Army on the front entrance, but nobody is home.


This is looking east down the River Neckar:


This is looking west down the River Neckar:


This is a water fountain.


You can see the water tower (Wasserturm) down the street:
