Window shopping

Bob took a business trip to Germany a couple of weeks ago, mostly staying in Mainz and Munich. He usually gets a little free time during these trips, but only an hour or two, so he tries to walk around and get a feel for whatever city he's in. And he takes along our camera so he can bring back a bit of the flavor to us. Bob has his favorite subjects to photograph, and one of them is shop windows. I think this is because New Yorkers spend a lot of time passing by display windows, so it's interesting to see another country's twist on the same theme.


We were rather amused by this ad, which is obviously supposed to evoke New York. The photo editor must have thought red would stand out better than orange, though, because he/she changed the color of the subway line.


I can tell Bob must be looking forward to ski season. The Germans have such techno-style!


Anyway, I have a few more of these I may post as I have time. We are still much busier than usual, but every now and then I have a bit of time to reflect, and it's so nice!
