Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria

Many shops are closed here, probably due to a certain imbalance between rent prices and profit, especially in the colder half of the year, when there are no tourists. This small cafe was open for 5 years, but couldn’t go on longer.

Bavarian Hydrant, NSFW in Santorum Country

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

Bayerisch Gmain, Bavaria

Martina asked for it – the hydrant, not the nsfw – but Carl admittedly is the source of “bad influence”. This is no Munich hydrant here, following up with one tomorrow. I just had to make a tasteless joke on the U.S. primaries, sorry.

Demidiotic Underwear

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria

Not without reason, Bavarians are seen as the German variety of the common redneck. But living here, I can testify that their renommee by far exceeds reality. It’s only for the visitors from inside Germany – especially the northern part – and from abroad, that some try to live up to the clichée. And that’s why undergarments like the depicted ones are sold, almost exclusively however in cities, and to non-Bavarians (Update: I hope).

Lexus Confession

Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria

Needless to say that I don’t know the perpetrator…

Update: I replaced the image with a not-tinted version. It was late yesterday and I uploaded the wrong version. Sorry.

Hopefully not too late as February Wallpapers, you find here a pastoral scene from Bayerisch Gmain, the neighbouring village of my hometown.

Rural squareness can be really consequent.

Smoke Weed

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Piding, Bavaria

Among the 5000+ inhabitants of the village of Piding there must be at least one avid smoker. Maybe not the worst way to gain equilibrium in grey, cold winter hours.

Once again I was taking advantage of my daughter’s musical education: Acting as a driver for her rehearsal purposes, I walked my camera and used the blue evening light to train vision and lens.

Blue Sky Bavaria

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Bayerisch Gmain

This sky, especially when dotted with white clouds like in the mirrored section, is what was made emblematic – and then abused by tourist agencies and politicians – for Bavaria.

Municipal Savings Bank

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria

The red “S” for “Sparkasse” is the trademark of all the Municipal Savings Banks here in Germany. As they don’t participate in high risk stock adventures, they usually are in held in high esteem. Only their architecture is not allways adapted to their surroundings, but viewed in an isolated and a bit abstracted way like here it certainly can be attractive.

Snowy Triad

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria

Moving a bit away from the window theme I was pursuing in my posts lately, this image was a gift of today’s snowfall. Later in the afternoon we had rain again, providing us with abundant grey slush. Not my kind of weather now, but I was prudent enough to sample some snow images when occasion was there.
