River Surfing

Stepping outside on a warm fall afternoon came as a great relief after spending a long day in museums but it didn't feel like surfing weather!  A crowd of intrepid Germans had gathered to do just that where the Isar River propulsively enters the English Garden.
  

The very orderly surfers hang ten one after the other, alternating from both sides of the river.


Other people strolled or relaxed along the river's more placid banks.


The Monopteros, a faux Greek temple completed in 1836, was built on a 15-meter mound of earth removed for Residenz renovations.


After dining at the Chinese Tower Biergarten, I caught the U-Bahn at the University stop.


Even if I'd had a bicycle, I probably would have been too tired to pedal.  German commuters mean business!
 

Presumably feminist art decorated the entrance to the station.
