Hello, everyone!
As some of you already know, I was those last two weeks in Munich (Munchen) - Germany for some job trip.
I was pretty busy and didn't have much time except the week-end, but still I was able to visit my favorite museum from Munich - the Geological Museum.
Firstly, here are some pics from the center of the city:
The tallest church, FrauenKirche (about 80 meters high):
The city hall:
An old bridge across the railways, close to the train station:
A "bus" where all the passangers have to contribute to the trip:
It looks like the driver is priviledged, there are no pedals on the driver's seat.
One day I visited the Geological Museum. It's not a big museum, but very dense and interesting. The building which is hosting the museum is also interesting.
The museum is part of the Geologic Institute and Geologic Faculty of Munich. The entrance is free.
Here's my favorite pet wood slab from there:
Some of you might remember my old avatar, a picture taken back in the summer of 2006 when we visited Munich. Here it is:
Back then, Ioana and me counted the growth rings and there were about 250 of them:
There are many other interesting items there, just have a look:
Here's a mangrove trunk (fossilised, of course) two stories high and in the background you can see again that huge slab:
A fern trunk:
Close up:
Some drusy pet wood that could have been donated by Curt
Anyway, Curt, your drusy pet wood specimens are far more impressive
A slab with precious opal intarsia:
Some other pet woods:
A cute cone of Araucaria and an amazing cut:
Some giant fish:
A very artistic crinoide:
Some giant amonites...
...and some more of them, normally sized but not less impressive:
Thank you for looking,
Adrian
