Skating
rink in Marienhof (behind Rathaus)
Every
January, there's a big skating rink installed in the open
area behind the Rathaus. We walked through one night while
the ice was being resurfaced. They were playing German Hip-Hop
on the sound system.

The
human Zamboni
This
is the guy who was resurfacing the ice, underneath the disco-ball.
The
skating rink is open until March.

Frauenkirche
by night
I
love the way my new camera handles low-light settings. At
the end of this row of shops are the towers of the Frauenkirche,
which (after the Rathaus) is probably the most recognizable
landmark in Munich.

The
River Isar
The
Isar flows through Munich. This picture was taken on the
bridge next to the Deutsches Museum, which stands on Museum
Insel (Museum Island) in the middle of the Isar.

Isar
Tor
The
Isar Tor (Isar Gate) is one of the three traditional gates
to the city of Munich. This is the oldest Tor (gate) and
stands right near the river Isar. It was mostly rebuilt
after World War II.
The
other two Munich gates to the city are the Sendlinger
Tor and Karlstor.

Just
down the street from the Isar Tor is a McDonalds in an
old building. I found the juxtaposition of styles interesting.
