One of the countless fairy tale lakes in Bavaria, just before a stroll over the ice with family. Having grown up in Munich, the Bavarian landscape will be forever ingrained in my visual memory, no matter where I have lived since. In fact, it would be much more appropriately described as a visceral memory, going well beyond mere seeing. On this subject, I highly recommend a book by Simon Schama: Landscape and Memory.
