Isar River

The wonderful city of Munich, after the hassles of Italy, this was to be a relaxed couple of days. I found out pretty quickly, Munich isn't a cheap city, this region is the powerhouse of Germany.

The Isar River flowing through the centre of the city is intoxicating, the beautiful parks alongside made for some scenic walks. I decided to shoot in black and white, this really extenuated the contrasts of the river, structures and surrounding parks.

The river does not flow its natural rate, a series of dams and locks are constructed throughout, one supposes to reduce the flow rate keeping the water level high.
