on a boat ride at Königssee, at this moment my friends and i were paddling back to the dock. The view here was just amazing. Wish i had more time there to figure out more interesting angles for my shots.

ohhh, btw: thanks to my high skill of boat manouvering, ( i repeat : i'm highly skilled ) i nearly made our boat being hit by a much larger boat. BUS FARE TO KÖNIGSSEE = 30€, BOAT RENT = 2€, NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE...............PRICELESS!!!

form wikipedia: The Königssee is a lake located in the extreme southeast of the German State of Bavaria (Bayern), near the German-Austrian Border. Lying near the Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden, just south of the Austrian city Salzburg in the German Alps, the Königssee (or literally translated King's Lake) is the deepest lake in Germany. The lake was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It is 7.7 kilometers long and about 1.7 kilometers across at its widest point. Except at its outlet, the Königsseer Ache at the village of Königssee, the lake is surrounded by steeply rising flanks of alpine mountains, including the fabled Watzmann. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven boats, rowboats and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. The lake and surrounding parklands are very popular with tourists and hikers.
