On the Waldfest: Genuine.

Waldfest Tegernseer Gebirgsschützen

Dear readers,

if you're not from Germany, the first thing that comes into your mind thinking about Germany surely is Lederhosen. You'll find them in Bavaria, my second destination this summer.

In the lovely village of Tegernsee (located at lake Tegernsee) it's no big deal to see people wearing traditional costume, called Tracht, because Bavarians commonly emphasize pride in their traditions. I also got a Tracht, but that's a different story.

The complete Tracht is worn on special occasions, like the Waldfest of Tegernseer Gebirgsschützen.

Here are a few impressions.

Cheers
Mike

Back from holidays...

Dear readers,

I'm back after 2,5 weeks off.

At first, me and my little family spent 1 week in a lovely village in Tuscany called Caldana. We had lots of great food, great wine and fun on the beach. Moreover, we visited places like Massa Marittima, Grossetto, Talamone and Magliano in Toscana

Here are a few images.

Enjoy.

Next post will be about my subsequent 1,5 weeks in Bavaria.

Cheers
Mike

Off for summer holidays.

Dear readers,

it's been a while since my last post. Reason why? Too much work left no time to take pictures. And on the weekends I spent my time with my little family.

In a couple of days I'll start my summer holidays. First we'll travel to Bavaria, then 1 week in Tuscany, then 1 more week back in Bavaria.

I'll take some pictures, you can count on that.

Cheers
Mike

What I wear today: Patterns again.

Brown windowpane jacket and spectators.

On the street: Suede double monks and turn-ups

Green corduroy and Tweed

The jacket's collar does fit pretty good.
But doing a picture with cam in hand ruins the fit.
