This is a beautiful church in the setting (?) sun.  Was it damaged by the recent earthquake?

I'm quite certain this is the same church as above. The photograph is Armando's from a previous post. Here is a link...

Thanks, it is one of my favorite subjects to photograph and eat at the time the leaves are falling. The crop from my tree this year is quite good.

David, thanks for the link.  Apparently the top part (sorry for my ignorance of the technical term.  It is called Helm in German) of both bell towers are completely missing.  Hope they will be restored well.

The persimmons don't have any characteristic fragrance like apricot or even peach.

Their taste...it is difficult to describe...they are sweet basically, but some are quite bitter.  This afternoon I happened to watch a TV program showing how to debitter persimmons: they cover the buskets filled with persimons with the sheet of jute which is moist with alcohol.  Then the whole thing is sealed with a large plastic bag into which a package of dry ice is put.  According to the program, both the alcohol vapor and the carbon dioxide have the effect of debittering.   :o :o :o
