Berchtesgaden, Germany

Here are a few frames from my trip to Berchtesgaden, Germany last month. Berchtesgaden, located in Southern Bavaria, is known infamously as the home of the Nazi party elite during World War II. While there, I visited the Eagle’s Nest, which is known in German as the Kehlsteinhaus. The party gave Adolf Hitler the mountain-top house as a present for his 50th birthday. After the war, it was spared from demolition and it is now a museum and restaurant. I recommend the Wiener schnitzel and beer if you ever go.

Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW)

I’m usually not a huge fan of museums. That was until today. We visited the BMW Museum, which was especially interesting because of the priceless collection it houses and also because of the architecture of the museum itself. It was one of the coolest buildings I’ve been in. Normally I stray away from museum shots, but I made a few pictures at the BMW Museum playing off of their interesting lighting setups:
