My kick off photo from a brief trip to Munich this week. We were staying essentially in the city center, and were able to visit some of the more famous landmarks in the evenings quite easily. The weather was dreary so we didn’t wander too much. The food was excellent. Not one of us had a meal that wasn’t delicious. Wiener Schnitzel, Sauer Braten, Haxen Braten, Ente, Hähnchen, Bratwurst, the list goes on. And of course a bit of Beer.
We also made it to the Dachau Memorial, the first concentration camp, used as the model and training ground for subsequent concentration camps, the most infamous one being Auschwitz. Got some photos and will have some of those up, but only the less intense ones.

I’d love to hear more about Auchwitz. The “Hiding Place” and the Corrie Ten Boom stuff is some of my favorite literature on the war. Someday I want to go to Holland and visit the actual Beje.

Well controlled exposure of the highlights and shadows. Nice composition also.
