Herreninsel, Chiemsee,

South east of Munich

A friend is visiting for a couple of days. We had sun, first time in a week. So a short ride to Lake Chiemsee. Didn't go into the new castle built by Ludwig II and inspired by Versailles. Dead calm water for the ferry ride and time for a nice stroll and lunch.

St. Mary's, decommissioned, 1400's construction, remodeled 1630 to gothic.

Got out from lunch and wanted to see the building. And the light was late and low.
Got lucky with my timing on that.

Pixel pro8, I think. Shot at 1.3 to 1.5 magnification.

Fun fact. I have the Pixel because my wife got one. She wanted us to have the same phone so we could help each other with use issues. How do you do this or that, where is the x menu.....
Same phones 6 months apart have different software versions. Go figure. And they update differently also.
