Our town

This is where I've been keeping the last few days, the town of Ochtrup b/ Münster i/ W (as it was inscribed on the case of my German grandfather). The town center is dominated by the neogothic spires of St. Lambertus, represented here on a glazed tile in the paved sidewalk leading from the old textile factory (now a booming outlet center) to the town center (hollowed out, in no small part, by said outlet center). What took me to St. Lamberti was my god-father's funeral, a beautiful mass in a church dear to him his whole life. May he rest in peace.
