Great capture, those roses look incredible! :)

Thank you! You have to be very careful about revealing people’s identities in pictures here, so this worked as it was a back view, and I just liked the flowers! :)

Lovely shot! Is that at Oktoberfest?

It surely is! :)

Gorgeous roses….hope you were brought one?

Reply

bavaria October 7, 2012 at 3:42 pm

Not this time… It was quite funny seeing all the half cut blokes buying them for people though! :D

Love this shot ,wonder who is getting some beautiful roses ? :)

Reply

bavaria October 7, 2012 at 3:42 pm

Thank you! Actually, I felt quite sorry for those that did receive them. It was mostly drunken men buying them! :D

I hope someone special gave her those. There is so much in this photo if you look around the girl – I love all the little other details.

It was her job to sell them, they were beautiful though, so much nicer than the garage type flowers that get sold in the pubs in the UK…

Gorgeous roses – what’s the story behind them? Is she selling them? Or did someone give them to her? Looks like the season of the Bierfest is well and truly underway!

Reply

bavaria October 7, 2012 at 3:44 pm

Yes, she was selling them… Oktoberfest ended today. I will not miss the drunken tourists and the piles of sick everywhere! :D

Fabulous colours – is that Oktoberfest?

Reply

bavaria October 7, 2012 at 4:57 pm

It is indeed… The Hofbrau tent! :D

Herding Cats October 7, 2012 at 2:57 pm

Are they hiding behind those roses? Great picture.

Reply

bavaria October 7, 2012 at 4:58 pm

No, she was probably trying to get them to buy some. It was only about 12.30, but I think they had been in there a long time! :D

Those roses are beautiful but I’m distracted by her check skirt. Love the blue black colour combo :-)

Reply

bavaria October 7, 2012 at 4:59 pm

The traditional dress is very pretty here… Thank you! :)

Proof, if any were needed, that people really do wear hats like that in your neck of the woods. Great shot.

Reply

bavaria October 7, 2012 at 5:00 pm

And I have plenty more proof where that came from, I just need to be more organised to do a couple of posts to show you! :D Thanks! x

helloitsgemma October 7, 2012 at 6:57 pm

i love that this hints at some much – her traditional skirt, her identity, the identity of the other drinkers, if she might be selling them or carrying a gift – fabulous!

Reply

bavaria October 8, 2012 at 7:04 pm

Thanks so much… She was definitely selling them. To drunken, amourous blokes! :D

Reply

pinkoddy October 7, 2012 at 7:21 pm

Lads from swimming baths went to that. Lovely roses.

Reply

bavaria October 8, 2012 at 7:04 pm

I wonder if I saw them there! Thank you :)

It’s a fantastic place to people watch! Such a lot going on! Thank you! :)

A lively Oktoberfest tent has got to be a good place to sell roses! Lovely photo :)

Reply

bavaria October 8, 2012 at 7:02 pm

Definitely! And all the other bits and pieces such as pickles, pretzels, and gingerbread too! :)

Have you been Oktoberfestering??? I was in Munich for it in, let’s see… it must have been 1998. There are some very merry photos of me looking all young holding a Maß, as time and drinks went past it became easier and easier to hold and the pretzels were VERY nice. I was so impressed by the waitresses going past holding several of them in each hand! Hope you had a lovely time

Reply

bavaria October 8, 2012 at 6:58 pm

Aw thanks Maria! Yes, I went a couple of times in the end… Those pretzels are just good, but what a good idea to sell them to the masses to soak up all that beer! :)
