1. The picture that I chose contains multiple people drinking beer, wearing traditional "Lederhosen" and "Dirndls." The background in this image seems to be a bar or basement in the suburbs of a German city.

2. The fact that all the people are dressed rather unique might give one the impression that there is a special occasion going on. The giant glasses of beer, Masze, and the environment such as the wooden wall and the alcohol bottles on the back wall convey a sense of a cheery mood.

3. The image is about a rather long story since it reflects a whole culture. In Germany, it has always been considered ordinary to have such an amount of beer with lunch and dinner, starting at the age of 16. The clothing was worn by Germans a long time ago, especially by the people in the south and now this attire is worn for special occasions only. It also tells a short story about the people and the party they are probably having at that time.

4. My view of this photo is rather neutral and I view it as part of my culture. Someone else perhaps would consider this to be awkward, but when I saw this picture I actually thought it was kind of cool since it reminds me of home.
