Feldherrnhalle
Hall of the Commanders
The Feldherrnhalle was a symbol of the honours of the Bavarian Army. It contains statues of military leaders Johann Tilly and Karl Phillip von Wrede. The central sculptural group was added in 1882, after the Franco-Prussian War.
The aim had been to create a focal point that would close off Ludwigstrasse and give the irregular Odeonsplatz a more ordered appearance.
The statues of two bayern lions flanking the stairway were added in 1906.
This was also one of the efforts by the Nazis to take over the Bavarian State, commonly referred to as the Beer Hall Putsch.

Frauenkirche
Cathedral of Our Blessed Lady
This picture was taken from the top of the St Peter's Church (Peterskirche). The church stands on the highest point of the hold town.
In the picture you can see Frauenkirche - Cathedral of Our Blessed Lady. This Catholic cathedral is the largest Gothic assembly building in southern Germany. With its twin towers, the church's distinctive silhouette is Munich's oldest and best-known symbol. By law, no new building that may obscure the view of the church is allowed.

Every early morning.
I took this picture while I was walking to my job. Starting to work very early in the morning is a typical nordic habit.
Good Morning:)

Transcendental Thought.
"I have thoughts which, if only I were able to disclose and bring to life, would add a new lustre to the stars, a new beauty to the world, and a greater love to the hearts of men."
- Fernando Pessoa, in "O Eu Profundo".
