Oberstadt, Bad Reichenhall Frescos of saints are quite popular in traditional areas of Bavaria, but this interpretation on a newly rebuilt house in the oldest quarter of Bad Reichenhall was really astonishing for me.

Easter Eggs
Oberstadt, Bad Reichenhall
Easter Fire
The Easter Fire is lighted at 04:30, before the holy mass, and churchgoers assemble here before entering the fully dark church. When service was over, the fire was still burning, nicely contrasting with the snowflakes. Update: Tyler Monson of More Original Refrigerator Art fame gave me a hint about the color balance beeing slightly off…

In Support Of Money
Altstadt-Lehel, Munich When this building of the “Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechselbank” was constructed in 1895, ‘sex sells’ was probably not the leading paradigm of business, instead statues of naked men and women where used as pointers to the famous greek past – Munich has a clearly philhellenic tradition, which might just have subsided a bit…
Maze. Escaped.
Metal Montgelas
Promenadenplatz, Munich More about Montgelas here. The statue was created by Karin Sander in 2005.

Urban Coziness
Big Success

Besides the natural photographer’s pride the fact made me smile, that this image was created with a (nowadays meagre) Minolta 7D on a 6Mpix sensor. Now imagine how large the newest and…
Two Groups Of Three
Munich, Bavaria Normally I have no big complaints about wordpress’ scaling functionality, but in this image it clearly introduces asome moiree that will vanish when you click on the image to see it in the size AfterShotPro has rendered it to. Oh yes, and least I forget, enlarging the images by click should work on…

A Peace Piece
Ludwigsvorstadt, Munich When I saw that peace tag, I immediately was reminded of Bill Evans’ “Peace Piece” (here on youtube). And today my thoughts are with the parents of Trayvon Martin, 17 years old, whose violent death is a tragic memento that peace in our societies is still not guaranteed, that instead racism rises its…
