Here is the west side of the Kehlsteinhaus, the octagonal 'gesellschaftshalle', looking a bit Christmassy for the time of year.
In September clouds, the panoramic views from the Eagle's Nest are utterly obscured by this impenitrable wall of white.
Most frustrating.
Berchtesgaden nestles in between verdant hills and mountains. The Kehlsteinhaus is high up and away to the right, visible from the town but not from this photograph.
Blue and white are the patriotic colours of Bavaria, and they duly crop up all over the place in Berchtesgaden.
These flags, for example.
