About Clare B. Dunkle
A Photographic Tour of Germany

When I began writing, my family was living in Germany. We lived there while my first four books were published and put into stores. Readers wrote to ask about Germany, so I put up these pages to share some of the wonderful things we encountered here.

For the first year, every time I looked around, I thought, “That looks like a postcard!” Now I don’t notice anymore, but preparing these pages made me see it again. There is so much beauty there. I miss it very much.

My daughters would say that these photographs show very little of real German life. If the pictures on my pages look like a tourist’s souvenirs, that is because I was only an outsider there. But my daughters were not: they knew what it felt like to be a real German teen. Here is a photograph of them when their closest friends in the world were all Germans.
