Last weekend we've been to Bavaria for the first time after three years of abstinence - much too long. We mainly went to see my Mom, that's why I couldn't take as many pictures as I wanted to... Irma was shooting a lot, though.
We'll post our pictures in this thread so as not to spam the forum.
Here is my Mom in front of the Sylvenstein reservoir, trying to keep her hair on. She's 84 and has had several operations on her heart, but she went hiking with us nonetheless and enjoyed it immensely.

A squirrel in the cemetery. Most of my Mom's friends have passed away already - I reckon the loneliness is the worst part of being old.

The river Isar comes from the Alps, flows through Munich and ends in the Danube. This is what the Isar looks like 30 km upriver from Munich.

Hey G, thanks for sharing. I'm sure she's a very special person. She certainly looks very healthy!
I love the squirrel photos - they're gorgeous, and also the orchids. Very nice!

Always it is a bit borring to spend 8 hours in the freeway when we go to Munich, so this time I decided to take pictures from the car, Don's style. There were a lot of motorbikes as the weather was great.
In our stop in Fulda there was a dam. It was already late afternoon so the colors were really beautiful.
Next day we drove south, and I just coudn't stop taking pictures to the Alps
We crossed the border to Austria to find a restaurant. Infront of the restaurant I found a very interesting farm house.
Often, the houses in Bavaria have some murals in the walls which make them look particularly beautiful. They call it "Lüftlmalerei". This is the restaurant we were in Austria.
A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

What a great document of this trip - I wondered where you guys were.
I love it when you get a synopsis of a tripo through multi photos like this - reminds me of Peto and my trip to Garbaldi Lake last year.

Thanks for all the kind words!
Here is my last picture of this trip, another river scene...
We are planning on going to the south again this summer or autumn, maybe for a week. I really hope we can make it. My pictures don't do any justice to this gorgeous landscape. Oh well, maybe next time.

Cheers

I love the portrait of your mom and I love your pictures of the area. I didn't care as much for your pictures of roads and bridges. These don't have any distinctiveness. The farm house photo was very interesting to me.
