Some "kodak moments"....

Finally back and getting over jet-lag.  Thought I'd post just a few photos - hope that you can use some for your own paintings. I welcome you to save to your desktop and then zoom in to find something that inspires you.

Most of these photos are from Sunday's Munch's Oktoberfest Parade. We planned to skip all things Oktoberfest but on Saturday met a man who has organized these parades for years. He talked us into going. SO GLAD we did.   Over 65 "villages''/cultures were represented mostly from Bavaria but also from a few neighboring countries - Switzerland, Italy, Austria.  The traditional costumes were terrifice. All ages joined in. And bands, acrobats as well.  We were so in the spirit after the parade we decided to head over to the beer tents and amusement park.  What a riot!  Had some great beer and lots of laughs.  

Now back to the studio  - time to get back to reality.   








These eggs are NOT dyed.  Amazing, no?

Just along the street in Munich. Everyone rides bikes. All ages.  They serious, wide bike lanes and you better not walk or step out into them!  They move like cars.  No one wears helmets which is a bit scary.

A city beer garden in the English Gardens park.

This is a woodworker's studio in Hallstatt Austria.  Very cool place.
