My brother, my mum and I went on another excursion last month, this time to Kochel-Am-See, located on the shores of yet another beautiful Bavarian lake, the Kochelsee.
The ‘Blacksmith of Kochel’ oversees the town centre – I’ve always loved this statue. Though I’d never noticed before just how big his feet are…!
The dogs were having fun too 🙂

Here are a couple of traditional Bavarian farmhouses:
And, to finish off a great day out, only one more thing was needed:
Looking at these photos brought it home to me that the summer is about to end…

Thanks for this inspiring blog! You describe the lanscape etc. like I remember them. Isn’t there the place where the “Blaue Reiter” did meet? With Kandinsky, Gabriele Münther etc.?

Awesome statue. Is that your traditional Bavarian weapon of choice when fighting your way through Toledo?

I’m guessing it must get cold in Toledo but I absolutely refuse to discuss a change in the weather for at least 3 more weeks. We’ll be having pretty pink leaves quite soon enough, thanks. But I AM happy to talk about those happy dogs. Are they yours? They look genuinely pleased with life. 🙂

The farmhouses are so quaint. Quite picturesque and charming. But I must say I love the doggies enjoying the lake. Someone toss them a ball. 🙂
