The Hooverville Hexagon: Sightseeing, Austrian Style

 

 

A Visit to Rosenburg Castle

By Tavaron


When you hear the song 'Es liegt ein Schloss in Österreich', of course, you immediately know what they're singing about. That is, if you're Austrian. It's the famous castle of Rosenburg. The original medieval castle was completely re-modeled in the 16th Century (Renaissance).

Once you get tired of smelling the roses and admiring the fancy ceilings, you can look out the window and see this. Makes it worth the climb.

Duck Babies!

Hoggetts are pleased to announce a blessed event: the duck has hatched three eggs. The other ducks in that particular flock – the Hoggett ducks form independent autonomous collectives, currently there are two – teamed up to guard the eggs during the incubation process. The farmer locked them all safely in at night to discourage predators. And voila, there are three new ducklings to admire.

 

A Youtube viewer gushed, 'They look so precious.' We agree, as does the proud mama.
