It was such a sunny morning, just after the arrival at the airport I photographed a whole series of trees on car bonnets ... waiting ... whilst my Ma was attending a funeral of a friend nearby.
If you speak German you might know that 'bitte druecken' also could be read as 'please hug me'.
I love advertising columns (Litfaßsäulen).
Looks good to me!
I am still surprised how many working Cigarette vending machines (Zigarettenautomaten) there are on the streets.
First time I have seen brown sheep.
Not sure why I chose to put King Ludwig here. It hangs in a very traditional local restaurant where we had fish.

A builders company from Neumarkt whose logo I saw when the Olympic stadium in London was in full swing.

Schmuselack!
Na, wenn das mal stimmt. Nach der Autowäsche den "Schmuselack" zu fühlen... Vielleicht klappt da ja auch mit meinem Gefährt ;-)).

Never seen anything like it!
Ingolstadt is a garrison town. It reminds me of Colchester. Just checked the word 'garrison' - interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrison
Matjes, the best young herring I've ever had!

Might use this in a painting.
This used to be a bubble gum machine. I have always been fascinated by them, my first encounter with value for money.

last day
Voggenthal, a tiny village with a little lift and hill, where we learned to ski.
Except for the last day the sun was always out in Neumarkt!
Wherever you go you meet them in Roman catholic Bavaria.
