Y-Burg, summer
Building carcass of the Y-Burg. Carl Eugen tried in vain to sell the dump. Strategic 'outback' location and all.  Better than a Loire chateau even. No takers. Lack of running water will have been an issue. Men does not live on wine alone. Carl Eugen had to settled for 'asset stripping'. Thorough enough by the looks of it.  Certainly did not spot any left over goblins (the arras type wall covering not the two legged kind). - Obituary: Cursed by an ill chosen location, preserved by it.

The fourth floor was a 17th century addition. Increased window size a concession to the times (hunting and partying). The actual wall thickness tapers off.

The corbels on which the floor beams rested. (The running 'shelf' just looks like a side bench. The actual floor was flush with the ledge.)

Straddling a mayor highway. The hiking trail to Esslingen. A gleeman with a banjo on his back will make his appearance shortly. On a bad day it will have been only the water cart.
