Oktoberfest in pictures

While unfortunately not all of us could be in Munich for the 179th Oktoberfest, we can at least enjoy some of the fantastic photographs taken during, courtesy of a compilation created by Boston.com. As I did for the Daily Life: September 2012 photography article, I have chosen my three favorite photos and attached them below.
