A Taste of Things To Come — Roaming with Roth

I have noticed how quickly I can get bored looking at photographs that someone else shot. No matter how expertly set and blocked, how stunning the vista, how colorful the scene, how exquisite the delicate flower, most travelogue photos have relevance and significance only to the photographer. To others, family and friends alike, the viewing pleasure quickly fades. Looking at an endless stream of photographs can be, admittedly, tiring and more so because of the inherent pride, over-the-top enthusiasm and pseudo-artistic affectation the photographer may possess for their own shots. So, at the risk of being both hypocritical and tedious I thought I would, in anticipation of our current journey, display some photos from past trips including last summer's hiking expedition through the Bavarian Alps, that could act to whet your appetites for what is to come. My intention is really to lend some excitement to our shared adventure, and to say how happy I am that you are here. Please enjoy the views.

Every turn in the Bavarian Alps is breathtaking...
