For reasons, I’ve spent most of the weekend in Bayrischzell, a little village near the Austrian border, reading up on Metabiota, PREDICT and other matters related to the origins of SARS-2 and biolabs in Ukraine. Perhaps, while I assemble my thoughts, you’ll enjoy some pictures of the village church, St Margareth, in the beautiful afternoon sunlight.
a while ago you speculated about SARS2 circulating as early as spring 2019. Since you are apparently working on the origins topic again, here is some info that may corroborate your suspicion about the early circulation: Check out the VAPI or EVALI disease, which perfectly matches the symptoms of Covid and conveniently disappeared in early 2020 when the Covid craze began. I wanted to write about the topic myself, but since it is impossible for me right now to put in the time, maybe the info can help you out in your research. An honorable mention would be appreciated.
Amazing! Great pictures, I should travel more except that I am vaccine-free. Hopefully one day. I did visit Germany before but did not go to any beautiful places like that.
Speaking as a southwest US of decidedly redneck, wrong side of tracks background. Albeit one with a Engineering PhD. In my part of the world, a "historic" structure was one built before WWII. Back in the day, I had a lot of business travel to Europe. I found the structures fascinating.
As an Engineer, the first thing I see about these (pretty common) places is the labor that it took to construct them. And, the skill level of that labor. In many/most cases, we simply couldn't do it today. We don't have the skills.
The second thing is a personal view--I call it "Engineer's Economics". A society cannot build something like this without a lot of excess resource. These skilled artisans were not plowing fields. In order to be available to do this work, the people plowing fields and making shoes had to be sufficiently productive to allow not only those working on these churches, cathedrals, etc., to do so, but those incredibly skilled artisans had spent their entire lives, likely, acquiring the skill. There had been the excess resource available to allow them to acquire and perfect those skills.
The third thing is the ability of those societies to stick to the project. Notre Dame took 100 years to build. The final work likely was done by the grandsons, or great grandsons of the artisans that started it. Today, we simply don't have the attention span.
I hold these old engineers, artisans, etc. in awe.
Amazing how much the interior artwork of that church looks like the Wieskirche in Bavaria. Both are amazing. I remember one afternoon in July 2008 lying on the floor of the Wieskirche and just staring up at the ceiling for 10 minutes. I wish I could do the same for this one! :-)
Bayern and the south of Germany to the Austrian and Italian borders are so rich in culture and scenery, equally so in the summer or in the snow covered winter..............beautiful.

Thank you so very much for this, Eugyppius. I opened your email after reading the lesson for this Sunday of the Fourth Week of Lent. You made me yearn to spend time in this most beautiful village. More than a sense of place, it’s spirit leapt out from the page into my soul. God Bless.

Thank you! Remember the old days when God was glorified?
These pictures are food for the soul. Thanks !
Please have a decent beer !
Zum Wohl ! To your good works, and the still human resistance in the U.S. !
Easter sunrise service must be a treat up on the mountain.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing, Eugyppius.

Sehr schön; vielen dank!
Thanks for something uplifting and inspiring. Hope for the planet?
Thank-you for sharing a beautiful part of your world with us.
What a wonderful place to escape the mad(ding) crowds! Thank you for those pix.

Beautiful! May the breath-taking scenery inspire your research.

That last picture reminds me of the Catholic monistary on Mount Tibidabo in Barcelona. Absolutely stunning!
