My Bunny is gone but i still have some pictures for you.

I'm living in the greatest wine-area in Germany. It's called Rheinhessen. Rheinhessen has a long tradition of wine-making since the Romans lived here. In every village you will find wine-makers today.

The next photos were taken only 500 feet away from my house.

Here an old wooden wine-/grape-press in the center of my village:

Less than 10 miles away from home I can see the Rhine (in German: Rhein). The town Bingen knows Roman-catholics maybe from the saint "Hildegard of Bingen", a non who had lived here about 1100 D.C. She is considered to be the founder of scientific natural history in Germany. Bingen (or the part of the town Dromersheim) is also known of the founder of the ice-wine.

Look to the town Bingen, the catholic Basilica-church of Bingen, the Rhine, the mountain ranges Eifel on the left and the Taunus on the right.

Look from Bingen to the other Rhine-site, where you find another wine-area: The Rheingau.
The Rheingau is known as the founder of the Spätlese (late harvest wine). The legend say that Castle Johannisburg always needed a permission to start harvest (cut the grapes). Every year a man had to ride by horse to the Prince-bishop to get the allow. But in one year the Horse-man has delayed so much that the grapes were rotten. Nevertheless the grapes were made to wine and that was very good and sweet wine, which is called since then Spätlese.
There are very steep vineyards (German: Steillagen), as you can find on the river Mosel (about 50 miles away). The wineyard-hill is alligned to the south. That gives very good wines, but no so excellent than the Rheinhessen-wines

Not so good to see:
The white tower is the Mouse Tower of Bingen and on the right the Ehrenfels Castle, one of the innumerable castles on the Rhine

You live in a beautiful environment, mate! Beautiful pictures and great explanations! Thanks for sharing.

Oh, and the wine, the wine... Yummy!

The bunny is well-traveled and getting a good education at the same time.

Edit: Mountain range Eifel is correctly the "Hunsrück"

Stunning, simply stunning!

(and the scenery ain't bad either!)

Just kidding of course.
You brothers on the other side of the pond just have such an eye for great photos.
Amazing - thanks so much!

(but why does everything look so...old!)

Bunny recently spent a week in New York. I live in Queens and had hoped to get some pictures there but I wasn't able to manage the time for it. We did have a short trip into Manhattan, We took the subway to Grand Central Station:

The Chrysler building near Grand Central Station:

And Bunny at one of the entrances to the Chrysler building. It appears the design of the building may have been inspired by the Bunny:

Nearby is the New York Public Library, a building built on what had once been a reservoir in the middle of Manhattan. Bunny is by the lion's paw:

Behind the library is Bryant Park, Bunny enjoyed watching the carousel:
