Photography Assignment 2

We finally got around to chatting about our second photography assignment in class. The brief for this was "Power, Patriotism & Wealth". I skipped the wealth part, and for power I used a couple of the photos from the karate competition down in NSW:

For patriotism I got together some Bavarian icons - my brother's Schariwai that I made my boyfriend wear on his Lederhosen and some beer steins we bought in Munich, all bearing the Bavarian crest:

The Isar River - another Germany post

I keep getting reminded by various people that I haven't 'finished' my blog, i.e. put up all my photos from the trip, so I'm attempting to rectify this over the next few days. These photos are from a day that I had been looking forward to for a long while. As kids my brother and I often used to go mountain climbing and hiking with our nan's husband, and although he has given up the mountain climbing due to being an octogenarian he still goes hiking regularly. I was very keen to take a day out of the trip to go for a hike with him and a friend who used to accompany us a lot of the time back in the day. We chose to walk along a river that runs through Munich, the Isar, one of our all-time favourite walks. During the walk we came across a beautiful large pebble that I decided to keep and, I finally engraved it with the details of the walk as a memento of what will likely be out last hiking trip together:

Spring-time, the trees are growing:

I think the clouds look most impressive here. It started raining soon after.

Arrived at our lunch destination:

The restaurant did some very interesting things with interior decorating:

Luscious country-side:

Rubbing the petals on these flowers together results in a strong garlic smell. Very strange.

I really liked this old wooden door and window, rustic and beautiful!
