Little forest brook

Little forest brook

Ljus letar sig ner till bäcken.

Genom skogens täta grenar.

Leker tafatt med skuggan.

English version

Light makes its way down to the brook.

Through the forest’s dense branches.

Playing tag with the shadow.

You never know what’s hidden if you don’t look, ha de Gött!

Isar river walk, Munich

Isar river walk, Munich

  • Grosse Kaskaden and the fisherman
  • Salmon stairs
  • Fisherman under Maximilian Bridge
  • River flows
  • Isarstrand (beach) and the fisherman
  • Kabelsteg Walking bridge
  • Isarstrand with St Lukas Kirche in background
  • Isarstrand with Volksbad in far end

Isar is the river that runs through Munich. The river flows from the Austrian alps and finally ends up in Europe’s second largest river Donau after 263 km. The water is clear with a green and blue colour. Along the river runs pleasant walks and parks for sports and fun.

Pre trip checks on Google Maps showed some promising photo opportunities and I was not disappointed. Even with thick compact clouds there was a reasonable good light. I was also happy with the guy fishing for salmon and that he moved around along with my movements giving me a great focal point. Hope you like the pictures.

Let the river flow, ha de Gött!

Light over the Alps

Light over the Alps

The Germans take their Weihnachtsmarkt, Christmas markets seriously. Me and my little wife been travelling a lot this year so we decided to crown the days before Christmas with a trip Munich. Situated in Bavaria in the south of Germany you could see the alps from the city hall tower. When the sky opens like this over the alps in the otherwise grey days. Well, hallelujah!

Even without snow the Christmas spirit was present among tourists and natives. With temperatures around freezing point the sellers of warm drinks, glühwein (mulled wine) and hot chocolate made good money. Walking around the smells of different things to eat and drink while rubbing shoulders with the world is great. Best is when you find that unique craftsmanship sold by the artist themselves. We came home with some beautiful hand painted Christmas ornaments.

Not all shopping and photo. We attended a fantastic organ concert in the Frauenkirche and string concert.

Frohes fest (happy holidays), ha de Gött!
