I like the town and its low buildings - nice night shots btw.

Just an edit to your Gutenberg caption - what he brought to printing was « 
mainly » , movable blocks for typefaces (fonts), which is no small achievement. 
And his bible was most probably the first Bible printed indeed, yet not the 
first book as there existed other ways to do so, woodblocks for instance. 

Thanks for the tour :-)

Amities
