The Parish church of Gaming. It was founded by Carmelites - thus the picture of, I believe, St. John of the Cross(?). Gaming has been a Catholic Christian since around 960 I think Father said. But it wasn't until around when the Kartause was built that they got a parish priest (around 750 years ago).
This statue is interesting. It is St. Anne, the child Mary, and the Baby Jesus. Three generations. Except I don't think Mary was that young when she had Jesus. But that isn't the point.
The Gaming coat of Arms.
The organ. (See, Elizabeth, you would like to study here for a semester. You know you would. You could play on this organ that Mozart traveled here to play on!)
Our own beautiful Maria Thron chapel. 
And some pictures from the field across the road.
Mary, we have two neighboring horses. I like to walk over there and just smell them. It makes me miss you;-) They have this adorable little stable, and I would say they are quite spoiled.
Some cute little steps leading down from the road to the creek
The frescoed interior of our Maria Thron chapel
Now, why don't we make pedestrian signs this cute?
In the courtyard. I have 5 of 6 classes in that room back there, the Audi(torium) Max(imum).
No, this isn't a painting. It is real life.
The interior of Maria Thron. Just after this I went up to our choir loft to pray a while. And before long the pews below began filling up with people. They began to sing hymns in German, and then the Litany of the Saints. It was amazing and beautiful and I just sat there and listened.
The stairs that wind around like this three times up to the loft, and are a great challenge in the pitch darkness.
A painting in the choir loft. I shall tell you who is in it when I ask after Art class tomorrow.

Maria Thron is beautiful! I am looking forward to singing there every day at Mass!
