Inside one of the beer tents

Me with a beer stein

Inside one of the beer tents

Church in Marienplatz

Paulaner beer kegs

A lion statue and a church

Peaceful gardens

Peaceful gardens

Modern glass and an a historic building

Surfing the standing wave in the river

Anglischer biergarten

Colorful flowers in the garden

Trip to the Konigsee

Trip to the Konigsee

Trip to the Konigsee

A ride with a church in the background

Some over-served patrons in the afternoon

Backlit stained glass windows

Quiet street during the daytime

Marienplatz at night

Festivities on the grounds

One of the tents

People everywhere

The entrance to the festival

The lights of Oktoberfest resemble a city from afar

Munich, Germany

Im Vergleich mit der Moral

wird der Wahnsinn mir bewusst

der da so beharrlich

in mir lauern muss
