This is an interior shot of the Theatinerkirche in Odeonsplatz. Initially I was waiting for the two women to move so that I would have an unobstructed shot down the aisle. Then I saw that their pose and the contrast between the darkness of their clothing and the brightness of the church would make a better picture.

Storm
Munich's weather can be very unpredictable often switching from blue skies to thunderstorms in a matter of hours. On this evening I was walking home from a local beer garden and as I walked the temperature was falling, the wind was starting to blow and the sky was darkening. Hurrying through Odeonsplatz, I came across these fabulous blue-grey rolling clouds and stopped to take a quick picture. Five minutes later the rain came down.23 June 2009
The Cyclist
The Pfälzer Weinstube is one of the few places in Munich where there is no beer on the menu, only a variety of German wines. The restaurant is in the Residenz and faces onto Odeonsplatz where outdoor tables line the pavement.I was originally trying to capture the customers chatting and watching the world go by, before I realised that the many passing cyclists might add something to the image.
This one worked particularly well. As well as the colourful bike and the glance across, I thought the contrast between the young, fast-moving woman on the bike and the older, slighly downcast looking gentleman passing on the pavement was striking.
As someone pointed out, I chopped the bottom of the wheels off her bike, but otherwise this turned out to be a very pleasing image.
