Bavaria has quite a few churches and monasteries scattered throughout the country side. I spotted this chapel on the outskirts of a small town, and had to pull over for a few shots. For other Monochrome Weekly photos check here.

I never get tired of Munich, and it’s a short flight (well relatively short compared to other places) from Atlanta to boot.

Back from yet another trip to Singapore, I managed to visit the Raffles Hotel, the birthplace of the Singapore Sling. This photo was taken at the Long Bar at the Raffles Hotel, just before we received the somewhat shocking bill of $238 Singapore Dollars for 2 drinks each for a party of four of us. Despite the exchange rate they were still rather expensive drinks. But they sure were tasty.

After having walked around the area in the evening, I barely recognized the Singapore riverfront during the day time. What a difference lighting makes. This is the Fullerton Hotel, another Singapore landmark rich on history, on the Singapore River. I think I’ll ask to be put up there next time I’m in Singapore. Yeah, sure :)

This picture was taken at the Legal Sea Foods in Boston Massachusetts, down at Long WHRF. It has to be one of the finest seafood restaurants in Boston. Legal seafoods is a chain of restaurants, however there seems to be a large spread in the quality of the food between different restaurants. This one is on the top, at least that was our consensus, plus the place is buzzing with activity, probably because of its location. Call well ahead for dinner reservations in the dining area, else settle for a 1 hr wait to be seated in the bar area, which also serves food. Oddly enough, Mapquest and the restaurant’s business card list the address as 255 State Street, which is a few blocks away. The actual location is in on Central WHRF, just across from the cruise boat docks. There’s a large parking ramp just down the block. Expect to pay $30-$40 for a couple of hours. You can also get there by train (Aquarium Station).

The guy on the left is Rick, one of the waiters, and his apprentice. Rick is from Marocco. We met him on a previous trip, and we were impressed by his attentiveness. When we went back we ended up with a different waiter (waitress actually), but we asked for him just to say hello. He kindly offered an appetizer on the house, for which we selected ‘Steamers’.

We hope to see you next time we’re in town. If you decide to move on, good luck Rick.
