Berchtesgaden
(Place of birth)

 |
This is Berchtesgaden and its unique Alpine homes, including a little covered bridge |
 |
One of King Ludwig of Bavaria's silent fleet of electric passenger boats, to be used on the Königssee (the King's Sea) |
 |
Naturally, I travel half around the world to get here, and the weather turned gloomy, as soon as we got on the lake |
 |
The boats are nice, perfectly maintained, and with friendly crew members |
 |
There is a point on the lake, surrunded by high mountains, where a trumpet blast will result in multiple echoes |
 |
You can just make out our destination, a small and famous chapel, but the weather, as often as not, is just like this |
 |
An occasional moment of sunlight peeked through the clouds, but it was not to last |
