Icefields Parkway (Alberta, Canada)

We booked three nights in Jasper a few months ago. However, the place we booked burned to the ground during the 2024 Jasper Wildfires (less than three weeks before we got there). So we found a place in Golden instead. On our way to Golden from Banff, we drove up the Icefields Parkway as far as was permitted before heading to Golden. Amazing scenery! While it’s a bummer that we didn’t get to experience Jasper, maybe this will encourage us to come back someday to see what we couldn’t this time.

Ironworks (Saarland, Germany)

I visited this place about a week before I was seeing Rammstein again. I really felt like Rammstein tunes should have been on in the background. The buildings and the music have a synergy.

Axeltorv in Fredericia, Denmark

2024 marked my sixth visit to Fredericia. On my first four visits about the only thing I saw outside of the Metal Magic Festival was the train station and Den Historiske Miniby. In 2021 I saw a bit more of the place, including Østerstrand. 2024 was the first time I had an entire day free in Fredericia to explore. The above is one of the places I took in while on a bike ride. The first Axeltorv (originally called Kongens Torv) took over 200 years to complete. This market square has since been in continual use (although not on the day I took this photo obviously) for over 125 years.
