紅屋頂之城—羅騰堡
順著Hafengasse往西走,我們抵達羅騰堡舊城中心的市集廣場(Marktplatz)。 廣場南側,矗立著羅騰堡地標之一、高200呎的白色鐘塔。一旁,則是結合哥德與文藝復興建築風格的市政廳。
隔著馬路相望的,是建自文藝復興時期、取水自25呎深地底的喬治噴泉。 以一座中世紀小城而言,這個市集廣場的尺度剛好。 廣場北面一度是市議員小酒館的白色建築上設有天文鐘,整點會有羅騰堡最有名歷史傳說(Der Meistertrunk)相關機械人偶的表演。 相傳在1631年敵軍攻陷羅騰堡,敵軍將領跟羅騰堡市長立下挑戰,說如果市長能一口氣喝下七品脫的酒,就能保住全城市民生命。接下挑戰的市長不負所託,一飲而盡巨大酒杯中的酒,成功救了全城居民。整點報時之刻,鐘旁打開的窗戶就是打賭中的敵軍將領跟羅騰堡市長。 市集廣場的東側,則是一排彩色山形房。 山形房的一樓盡是熱鬧的餐廳與紀念品店。 我們打算登上市政廳高塔,俯瞰羅騰堡這座紅屋頂之城。
登塔入口處在市政廳這頭,一開始的迴旋梯又寬又好爬。 隨著高度升高,羅騰堡逐漸浮現在眼前。 先來一張從羅騰堡東側城牆看向市政廳塔的影像。又高又尖的白塔鶴立雞群於一片紅屋頂之上。
拉近看,可以發現市政廳塔頂非常狹窄,大概只能容納十來個人而已,所以進出得排隊。最後上到塔頂的階梯非常狹小,身材太壯碩的還可能卡在出口處呢! 從塔頂俯瞰市集廣場。 體會這是一座十足的童話小城。 另一頭的大教堂,是建於1311年的St’ Jacob’s。
登高俯瞰羅騰堡瞭解方位後,我們迫不及待重回地面,等著探索這座古城的迷人角落去。

Hi I have enjoyed your blog for years. I really appreciate your taking time to share your beautiful photography. I see the scientific mind with artistic approach in every one of your blog post. And JY's watercolor sketch is so simple yet elegant. May I ask what drawing tools he is using? -- what brand/kind of watercolor, brush, fineliner, etc?
Dear Sir/Madame (May I have your name please?),
Thank you for your kind words. JY uses Faber-Castell fineliners, regular water brushes and Cotman water colours sketchers' pocket box.
Thanks for the info! This is Niccolo. I don't have any social media stuff to share. We met once at a friend's house in Seattle, many many years ago. I remembered you brought a homemade pudding to the party. We all know Yang, who was a postdoc at UW then. If my memory serves me right, JY works at YM, which is my alma mater. Anyway, you probably don't remember me. Doesn't matter, I love your blog and photography. They make me feel like appreciating the earth even more.
Thank you for keeping visiting my blog (still trying to retrieve my Seattle memory to get an image of you......)!
