Auer Dult

The Auer Dult is a popular fair which takes place at the Mariahilfplatz in Munich three times a year. Its history can be traced back to the Middle Ages. There's a midway with a couple of amusement rides, booths where Bratwurst is sold, and lanes where you can hunt for antiques. The open-air market is centered around the Mariahilf church. It's neat to look through the many goods which can be bought -- tableware, new household products, bags, clothing, leather products, candy and much more.Typical Bavarian clothing!

Spring garden

"Winter's done, and April's in the skies,
Earth, look up with laughter in your eyes!"
- Charles G. D. Roberts, An April Adoration, 1896

Slowly but surely spring has come to Munich. April brought lots of mixed weather, but lately there was a lot of sunshine which made the flowers -- and weeds -- grow fast.

Sea Life

In early March I visited Sea Life in Munich which is situated in the Olympic Park. The entrance is somewhat bleak, but the aquarium itself is very neat.

You walk from room to room full of tanks showing the life in the local river Isar, the river Danube, the Black Sea, various other displays, and finally a Mediterranean Ocean tank.

We found Nemo! At times it felt like being under the sea -- enchanting! Yes, that are sharks you see in the photo.Feeding frenzy!The large sea horse display is very beautiful. It was such fun to watch those sea creatures.

Orchid Angel

Here's a new digital collage which I titled "Orchid Angel." I blended layers of some of my own photos showing clouds, fireworks, water, orchids, and an angel statue. Enjoy!
