The Coldest Lake
Monday, October 3rd, 2011
Adlgaß, Bavaria
Frillensee is Germany’s coldest lake, and we are lucky that it did not fell prey to a ice rink planning already decades ago.
On another topic: This was not the only image I had set hopes in, but the only one where the lens was fully shaded by some trees. As I had neglected to clean the front glass from dust, three well composed images are just pixel trash due to dust and sunlight forming large bright spots. Note to self: take more care of the gear…
Summer Reminiscence

Karlstein, Bavaria
The first cold autumn day with temperatures not much over 6° C makes looking at summer pictures a somewhat melancholic activity. But this one I like for its supernatural impression.

Piding, Bavaria
This time of the year is the tradition-enriched return of livestock from high alpine summer pastures, where it had spent the summer. As traditions tend to get transferred (and modified in that process), outside of the Berchtesgaden valley, this probably newly acquired tractor truck was decorated like the lead cow on occasion of the livestock return mentioned above.
This image, too, was made with a prime, albeit some weeks earlier. The old Minolta 1.4/50mm, borrowed from a friend, is optically very nice. The narrow angle of field presented not a problem here, as I stood far enough back to be able to include that biker in the frame. But this was probably more luck (or gut feeling) than mindful preparation.

I made my camera sweeten the annoyance of a one-hour delay. Not that I am inflexible, but after almost 10h of working, a train delay is among the least welcome events.

Update: Following a conversation with Carl Weese, I created a new version of the first image, removing partially the color cast in the first image. To the right is the version posted originally, for comparison.
Only one day later, commuting home, the scenery had changed completely, when rain had washed away all romantic assets.

This special kind of traditional socks is called “Stutzen” in Bavarian dialect. Seen at the Traditional Music Festival in my hometown.

St. Johann Nepomuk (Asamkirche) in Munich

I love the overwhelming impression that the interior of this church imposes on the visitor through its narrowness and height.
