Pictures pictures everywhere
Churches
There are many churches in Metz, and these churches have may details. Gargoyles, horses, pigs, demons and even the dog-dragon thing from never-ending story make up the intricate façades of these buildings. Some statues have what appeas to be interesting symbolism, and one ruin/tower/church thing even has mentioned on its info-panel that it was built with some type of stone just to add a subtle political message to it. If that's the case I can only begin to wonder at what the real meaning of some of these things are.

| Should they be standing on those? |
 |
| Yes that's a pig |
 |
| And those are a horse and a cow |
 |
| Standing on people |
 |
| I didn't know that phoenixes were churchly |
 |
| A dragon and people holding faces |
 |
| Faces faces everywhere |
Mill
There's a mill, and the door is locked. That's about it really, not much else to add, but it does have a nice little are next to it with ivy infested walls and an arch.
 |
| I spy |
 |
| Of course there were swans in the way |
 |
| A wild mill appears |
 |
| But getting to it isn't that easy |
 |
| Inspiring almost, but not quite |
Trees
If someone would tell you that the branches of trees are cut in a straight line, you'd call them a liar, if they'd show you a picture you'd say it's photoshopped. But it's real, and a bit odd really.
 |
| Why? |
 |
| The centre being renovate |
 |
| The joy of not being limited to 30 or so photos |
 |
| I can't recall exactly where this was, but I could probably find it again |
 |
| Patterns |
 |
| How to properly blend old and new |
