Bad Aibling May Pole (Maibaum), May 1, 2005

The town of Bad Aibling erects a new May Pole, using the traditional muscle of the local Trachtenvereine and a little beer. Two cameras, two photographers.

Getting it lined up ...	Maibaum	Just to keep things lubricated ...	The bottom bolt goes in
Maibaum Muscle	The First Poles	Starting to go up	Poles are added
Maibaum	Maibaum	The wreath	Poles and ropes
Maibaum	Maibaum	Maibaum	Hau, Ruck!
Maibaum	Rigging some longer poles	Managing the poles	Maibaum
A Beautiful Day in Bad Aibling	Maibaum	Maibaum Going Up	More beer!
And the band keeps playing ...	Maibaum	Shoes gotta get slapped!	Adding the hardware
Finishing up	Hanging the flag	Done!	What it all means
