Almenrausch Flagshipstore
This the momentary culmination point of demidiotic bad taste: the flagship store for all wannabee traditional costume wearers. The prices are low in comparison to the real thing: A leather pant alone should cost roughly triple the requested price, without shoes, socks, shirt and neck scarf. But getting these things from (most probably) China of…
Wild West In Bavaria
Now these were the dreams of my childhood, the smell of horses and paintings of the ‘Wild West’.
(Confederate) Psycho House
Why the ‘Psycho House’ mimics a Confederate Estate (I just revisited some Walker Evans photographs), I can’t tell. But it certainly fits in the overall tenor, where all things U.S. seem to be glorified and provide the furniture for the dreams of the fairground visitors – and I admit that for quite a long time…
Blog Note
Currently I am in Croatia again – family holidays – and some things never change. Among those is the flaky – at best – internet connection here on the camping ground. Scheduling earlier uploaded pictures works, everything else only sometimes. Oh well…

Fabulous Las Vegas
Earlier already I already had written about the admiration of and affection for the U.S. here in Germany. At the spring festival this became very obvious: basically all roundabouts featured the German dreams of America, in the boldest colors as appropriate for such an event. Me, I am obviously neither a fan of unreflected love…

Bavaria Hippodromica
The Hippodrom – here in the small version for the spring fling – was subject of a drama in this spring: Those beer halls, especially on the Octoberfest, are in highest demand as they are true bonanzas for their owners, but the number is limited and nobody gives up voluntarily. But then the German IRS…

Hintersee May Day
Sometimes my old love for black and white breaks through again, unstilled from FP4-times but suppressed by the “color is the new b&w” paradigma of the digital age: while color was the exception in the early days and b&w the “normal” thing, now it definitely is the other way round. Going monochrome of course offers…

Up In The Sky
The statue you see from the backside is St. Florian, famous for protecting against fire, allegedly invoked in Bavaria with the rhyme “Heiliger Sankt Florian, verschon’ mein Haus, zünd’ andre an” (Holy Saint Florian, do spare my house, ignite an other one). The Florianiplatz, where this statue and now the maypole stands, of course has…

Putting up the maypole is supposed to be fun, but obviously it’s also hard work for some.
