Mediocre Munich, at least with a point and shoot camera.

On a recent stag do, I opted to get there a day earlier, and scoped out some explores. I’d been pre-warned there was little there, and on the whole the advice was right. However on arriving there was this rather large beauty, one of it’s towers wrapped in scaffold:

After two guys had finished sharing a spliff by a fountain, and waiting for a gap in a first floor office, that seemed to be 24hr manned, I went for it. Something I was amazed at in Munich, was the pretty much complete lack of scaff alarms, cctv, infa-red etc. Further hopeful trips later this year to the continent will hopefully be similar.

I only had a point and shoot with me, with a max. 15sec manual exposure, so shots from the cathedral were pretty awful. Here’s the least worst of a bad batch.

This was where the main roof began to curve over as the ceiling. There was a door that lead somewhere here, but it was too small for me to get through.

A few blocks away on the main grand thoroughfares, Maximillanstrasse, the main post office building is being gutted. A trip up to the roof provided a couple of shots of the frieze just below the roof, and looking down onto Max Joseph Platz.

After waiting for a couple to disappear, I finally made it up the cathedral, however there are limits to the abiliites of a small point and shoot camera, so this was the only near decent photo I took. The views from the top were great!

The following day involved some traditional stag activities, including a trip south of Munich to the city of Rosenheim for some paintball action. As the train pulled into the station, I couldn’t help but notice some abandoned industrial buildings. While the others went to rest their wounds from paintball at the local bar, I went off to check them out...
