"If everybody had an ocean/Across the U. S. A./Then everybody'd be surfin'/Like Californi-a"
Well, when the Beach Boys sang this "Surfin' USA" 1963, they surely didn't think that it would be possible to surf in Munich, hundreds and hundreds km far away from the sea (and more from California of course...)

Once a year this amazing flea market takes place on the huge Theresienwiese in Munich! As you can guess it is giant, and when I say giant, I literally mean GIANT! So for all you flea market lovers out there, if you're ever in Munich, make sure not to miss out on it! This year it was on the 30th of April, but it changes every year!

The good old Olympic-Stadium in Munich, was edified in 1972 for the Olympic-summer-Games. After the games to 2006 it was the soccer stadium from the soccer clubs 1.FC Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 Munich. Nowadays the stadium is only open for big events and open-air-concerts. It holds 69.250 people.

One of the reasons why I love Munich is the sunglasses machine. Yes, it really is a machine where you can get sunglasses from - and for only 2x2 Euros!

My Hometown. Here I grew up, ate sand, hurt my knees and so on. It's place nearby Munich, but far enough away to be on the countryside. I'm always coming back to my hometown for visiting my parents. I love it to go for a walk on the fields and watch the clouds and the trees. It's perfect for a sunny but also for a "snowy" day.

Stuttgart Main Station is an impressive intersection in "Swabia", southwest Germany with a high Lomo potential! Hundreds and hundreds of commuters and pedestrians run through Main Station every day, and this definitely sparks our appetite for photo opportunities!

A spontaneous trip to the top of Germany. It took us awhile to get there but with enough effort, we were finally able to see the spectacular view from the top. Zugspitze, the highest mountain in the country truly is a worthwhile place to visit whether you're into the outdoors or not.

For years I’ve been planning on visiting my friend in Konstanz for a sailing trip on Lake Constance (Bodensee). In August 2008 we both finally found the time to realize those plans. I took the train from Frankfurt to Konstanz, arriving on late Friday afternoon. But before we entered the boat on Saturday my friend showed me what Konstanz had to offer culturally.

Actually this location is an accident! Because normally I was traveling for business to Thessaoniki / Greece but due to all the meetings it turns out I didn't had any time to take pics in Greece. I was already frustrated about, so that I shoot the film while I had to wait in Munich Airport for the transfer flight.

I'm pretty sure that all of you have one or more favourite bars to hang out in at night. For me and my friends, the bar of choice is definitely the CMC.

Last time I had a small Tour de Nuremberg with my bicycle and a friend of mine we discovered a place where we`ve never been before. „Where is that road leading to?“ asked my friend and as we both don`t know we decided to follow that unknown road.

As everywhere in Germany, the December is the great period of the Christmas markets, with various names (Weinachtsmarkt, Christkindlmarkt, etc...) to enjoy this cold period of the year with a lot of lights everywhere, boutiques and many occasions to drink some hot beverages like the Glühwein, Punsch or Feuerzangenbowle....

Not too far away from the Schwabenmetropole Stuttgart in the south of Germany are a few small villages you might want to visit because you can travel back in time. Some places there haven't changed since the 70s. I know because I grew up there. It's only 15 minutes by car from the airport of Stuttgart and while you're at it: visit the incredible butcher there, get some great Schnaps from a more than 100-year-old family business or if you have the money, have dinner in one of the best restaurants of the whole country! But that's not my opinion because I haven't been there, I just read that from a gourmet guide.
