Would the Garmish on bee a modern [ish] barn like building with a large car park in front, on the southern approach, through the town?

That sounds lovely and Garmish is delightful. I skied there for 3 years running, whilst taking care of the RAF recreational caravans, there. The barn I referred to was very Bavarian and I was foolish enough to consume all that was put on the table before me..... and drink a... few of the Steins provided by young lassies in 5 x handfuls. The resultant abdominal content was sufficient to raise doubts that the lungs had sufficient room to inflate enough to supply a survivable amount of the oxygen stuff. Clearly, I did manage to struggle to inhale sufficient, to be here writing this and a very clear message had been learned - never tried that since.

I would love to go back again, it is such a lovely place. Maybe one day, and then I can try the place you recommended.

It maybe a tad less than crisp, but most of the residents would completely recognise that - up to lunchtime, from the effects of the previous evening - any time after lunchtime, rather speaks for itself...

Not only have you captured the atmosphere of the place, but added the view from the perspective of the inhabitants, too.

That's a good looking modern shed, it makes a very pleasant change from the sooty old steam sheds.

Delightful, David and very typical of the area. I had to smile at the scaffolding, understated, just there.....

... Wish the UK Councils were so willing to make the place look good. Perhaps they should employ you as their planning and maintenance exec.

That looks somewhat warmer than it is here, despite the clear blue above. A very welcome picture, David.

Some people will appear real soon now and in imitation of real life as we live it, they will be a couple of guys who cannot work from home.

Stay tuned...

David

Will the guys who cannot work from home be arriving accompanied by their Spouse, with a broomstick, or Nurse with a syringe?

Tinker Tress-dresser, tailor trainer, soldier, sailor, waiter, diner??

Intriguing, I'm looking forward to the emerging population.

Julian

 

[Julian2011]

That's good, particularly as there's reason for them to be in one place and not frozen in mid pace etc. Nice one David.

The changing seasons is a delightful idea, on top of a delightful scene.

[Julian2011]

You've been doing that thinking thing again..... looks good too.

My town wall to date, finale positions still not agreed with the design consultant
View attachment 20015

I like the open space, so often walls like that are crammed against the railway [or is that the other way round?] Great stuff and room for people and things...

Julian

 

[Julian2011]

I had taken the church and town hall out of the way so that I could work on the corner beyond the narrow tower. While they out I took this photo.

I am taken aback by how well proportioned it looks.

David

Interesting view of the composition of a living town, with all the parts that make a good living possible. All gradually developed over centuries, tailored to the area and people's needs.

As a cheeky aside... it's an interesting analogy to be able to reveal how much of the town life was, previously, smothered by the Church and Bureaucracy...
