It has been a beautiful St. Patrick's Day Parade 2007 in Munich. Blue sky and warm sun attracted thousands of Irish and Non-Irish people to the long march from Schwabing (Münchner Freiheit) to Odeonsplatz. St. Patrick and his parade was joined by Munich's Lord Mayor Christian Ude who had a bad cold today but nonetheless greeted the people and held a good speech at the Odeonsplatz.

I took several excellent shots - the photos above are just the first impressions for the Blogosphere, more to follow tomorrow at Zettpress. Please stay tuned. :-)
