Honeymoon Album Highlights 4 (Germany 2008)

Germany's Schwarzwald (Black Forest) was one of our favourite destinations during the honeymoon. We loved the luscious and mysterious green trees radiant with life; and the Triberg waterfall, Germany's highest, seemed to gush from the heavens in a roaring explosion of sound, mesmerising all around. The first layout, created by Sue, depicts all these elements in a delightful composition which utlises a range of scrapbooking materials to assail the visual and textual senses. 


The Black Forest is also home to some of the most delicious food in Germany. Cooked in a simple country style which allowed an accentuation of the subtleties in the food, the German spatzle and schitznel were indeed a delight to the palate. And to round off the meal, we tucked in to a famous cake which takes its name from the region. Liqueured cherries were in abundance, and the bitter-sweet taste of the chocolate truly made this the best Black Forest cake ever! Mark's layout captures the tastes in this special town Triberg, also the home of the cuckoo clock.
