onion spire, reloaded

this is an emblematic picture for the governing period of the still-in-charge bavarian premier e. stoiber. he was harvesting the fruits of an ongoing change since the end of ww2 in bavaria from a rural and somewhat backward country to a modern habitat for hi-tec companies.

the onion spire on the clocktower was almost a badge for bavarian villages, and now the antennas for mobile services are the new hallmarks.

brave new world...
