Photos from Germany

G'day. I've been working in Munich for the past couple of months, and when the weather gets better I go out to take pictures...

Love Munich, in my younger days I worked in the Englischer Garten in a beer place, weird how the place fills up with naked sunbathers at lunch time...

Wow on the pics. I went to Munich right before I proposed to my now wife. It's a beautiful city. We covered a lot in 2 days and we absolutely got a kick out of the Augustiner beer garden. Great food and drink!

Thanks guys!

I'm enjoying my time here. Today going to visit Salzburg, next weekend Berlin, next Nuremberg, then Prague, that's it for the time being...

As for the staircase, I did a re-shoot with my newly acquired Nikon D800 (yes GAS but I've been waiting ages for it...) I think this one is better than the original take.

Nice reflections Peter!

Went to a couple of classic car events at Essen and Stuttgart, also visited MB museum, factory and the classic centre. Was a very busy week. We were very lucky with the weather. Enjoy your time there

great pix!! with spring, you'll be out there more.

not sure which staircase shot i prefer....the first one has this element of being swept up into the staircase, which the 2nd one lacks, while the second one is a bit more abstract feeling (definitely crisper, too). either way, nice work.

Great photos indeed. Really highlights the beauty of the city.
I only have vague beer laden memories of Munich during Oktoberfest 20 years ago.
Maybe a return visit as a mature adult is warranted. Thanks for sharing.
