This is a cool shot taken on my trip to South Africa. This was in Kruger National Park. On our last day, the Ulusaba guides managed to find this scene of a recent kill. I really didn’t do a lot of zooming here. We were literally that close…

Got a macro lens. Found flys in my backyard who must have taken a dip in the beer glass left outside over night. This shot was surprisingly easy to get as these two were preoccupied and not overly concerned with the lens a few inches away.

Aying is a small town about 20 minutes outside of Munich. I’ve visited the Ayinger brewery there on two occasions to take tours. It is definitely one of my favorite brewery tours. First off, great beers. Secondly, its a small privately run brewery – so it is run with people with heart rather than a faceless corporation. Finally, the guide (whose name eludes me at the moment) is amazing! Last time I went we got a private tour and it was exceptional. For me, a highlight is always sampling the unpasteurized beer off the line. Amazing!

The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor) is a former city gate and one of the most well-known landmarks of Berlin and Germany. It is located west of the city centre at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. It is the only remaining gate of a series through which Berlin was once entered. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building. The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, the renowned boulevard of linden trees which formerly led directly to the city palace of the Prussian monarchs. It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a sign of peace and built by Carl Gotthard Langhans from 1788 to 1791. Having suffered considerable damage in World War II, the Brandenburg Gate was fully restored from 2000 to 2002 by the Stiftung Denkmalschutz Berlin (Berlin Monument Conservation Foundation).
This shot was taken when I left our hotel (the amazing Adalon Kempinski) to make a Beer run. At least in this part of the city, good brews at this time were hard to come by.
