Had a short stop just south of Garmisch-Partenkirchen when driving from Sweden to Italy.
Building facades on the Rindermarkt (= cattle market) square in Munich. The name of the square derives from the times when this was a place to trade cattle.
The two buildings are part of the 3-building Ruffinihaus complex, a listed group of buildings.

TGV Duplex train set no. 4705 from Paris Est passing the S-Bahn station "Laim" at speed.
The "Duplex" variant of the French TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse = high-speed train) features bi-level carriages, is manufactured by Alstom and was introduced to increase capacity on busy TGV lines (such as Paris Est - Munich).
This here is the "Euroduplex" variant which is multi-system capable and has a top speed of 320 km/h (=200 mph for the "imperialists").

Kräftiges Schneetreiben am Nachmittag, da darf man nicht lange überlegen. Ich packte schnell meine Kamera aber nach einer Stunde taute es schon wieder.

St Peter's Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in the inner city of Munich, southern Germany. Its 91-metre (299 ft) tower is commonly known as "Alter Peter"—Old Pete—and is emblematic of Munich. St Peter's is the oldest recorded parish church in Munich and presumably the originating point for the whole city.
Before the founding of Munich as a city in 1158, there had been a pre-Merovingian church on this site. Eighth-century monks lived around this church on a hill called Petersbergl. At the end of the 12th century, a new church in the Bavarian Romanesque style was consecrated, and expanded in Gothic style shortly before the great fire in 1327, which destroyed the building.
After its reconstruction the church was dedicated anew in 1368. In the early 17th century the 91-metre (299 ft) spire received its Renaissance steeple top and a new Baroque choir was added.
The church was heavily damaged in World War II during the Allied bombing of Munich.
The interior is dominated by the high altar to which Erasmus Grasser contributed the figure of Saint Peter. Among other masterpieces of all periods are five Gothic paintings by Jan Polack and several altars by Ignaz Günther. The ceiling fresco by Johann Baptist Zimmermann (1753–56) was restored in 1999–2000.
Die Fränkische Schweiz, eine Region in Oberfranken (Bayern), ist eine charakteristische Berg- und Hügellandschaft mit markanten Felsformationen und Höhlen, sowie vielen Burgen und Ruinen und nicht zu vergessen Brauereien.
Franconian Switzerland is a region in Northern Bavaria. As several other mountainous landscapes in the German-speaking lands, e.g. Holstein Switzerland, Märkische Schweiz, or Pommersche Schweiz, Franconian Switzerland was given its name by Romantic artists and poets in the 19th century who compared the landscape to Switzerland.
