Not without reason, Bavarians are seen as the German variety of the common redneck. But living here, I can testify that their renommee by far exceeds reality.

Once again I was taking advantage of my daughter’s musical education: Acting as a driver for her rehearsal purposes, I walked my camera and used the blue evening light to train vision and lens.

This sky, especially when dotted with white clouds like in the mirrored section, is what was made emblematic – and then abused by tourist agencies and politicians – for Bavaria.
