While on vaction in Munich last week I decided to travel south towards the Alps. I hopped on a train and headed towards Garmisch Partenkirchen, a small town deep in the Bavarian Alps, my plan was to visit Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak. It was quite incredible, the most spectacular scenery I have ever seen! The place was covered in snow, a real winter wonderland!
1) Snow Road, this area is full of people in the Summer, but in the Winter they go skiing so I was free to roam. Contax 50mm f/1.7 T* -

2) Snowed Inn. It's almost like a ghost town below the mountains, it's great not having tourists crowd your shots! Zenitar -

4) Footprints to Alpspitze, The cogwheel train stops at Sonn Alpin, 300m from the summit, I thought about skiing down, but then I remembered that would involve falling down a mountain-side head first... with my camera gear. Contax 50mm f/1.7 T* -
