Ferrofluids are amazing and we got to see a demonstration at the Technical Museum in Bonn. If you don't know what they are, it's worth googling or at least you tubing!
The instrument responsible for the amazingly eerie sounds for the birds in Hitchcock's "The Birds." Very similar in function to an mp3 player.
A very early particle accelerator. Not very practical though because the diameter was small compared to the size it should be to minimize energy lost in the form of radiation.
The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics!!! In the Berlin post I posted a picture of Humboldt University, where he studied. (I really got to get my "geek" on during this trip. :)
The old cathedral in Bonn, partially rebuilt after the second world war.
This organ is inside the Bonn Cathdral. We were fortunate enough to hear the lecture of a German professor of Organ who also played a selection. It was beautiful. By the way, there is lots of Roman architecture inside the cathedral.
The old city wall to Bonn. If you look closely you can see at least two cannonballs in the wall.
Beethoven was born in Bonn. This is the placard outside of his birth home.
Throughout Germany, you see many bananas painted at the doors of buildings. A German artist traveled around the country painting bananas at the doors of building and establishments that contained, in his opinion, great art.
The old classroom for autopsies at Bonn University, a renowned medical school. Later the classes had to moved to a much larger facility to accommodate all of the students.
The castle leading up the path to the top of Konigswinter. It was really pretty.
The view from the top... though our walking tour was a little taxing, the view from the top was spectacular and well worth the effort!
This street is named after the first Chancellor of Germany after the fall of the Third Reich. His birth home is also located on this street, hence the strase bearing his namesake.
