More soaking rain on the day we went to München, so I didn’t have my camera out at all. Please enjoy some bad phone pictures and a couple of guest photos. We started at the main market at the Marienplatz and enjoyed a mug of Glühwein while we waited for… Read more »
Crappy cell phone pictures today, because I haven’t been carrying my big camera around much on routine missions. First up: There was a Weihnachtsmarkt in the Freising Marienplatz last weekend–mostly local handmade items and stalls supporting local organizations.

The theme for my parents’ visit was “Christmas Markets” and now I will be sharing some photos. On the first Saturday of their visit, we went up the road a bit to Ingolstadt. Overnight there was snow, and it fairly quickly turned to a soaking rain, but that was no… Read more »

I shall post a photo I have taken of Freising every Friday. Perhaps something that doesn’t fit into a larger post,… Read more »
