I would recommend to take a good western hotel in New Delhi. Sure, it depends on your need and expectations, but coming “home” after a day, fully powered with sightseeing, walking, exploring and taking photos, it is nice to have some kind of standard in your room, to relax and prepare for the next exciting day in this great country.
Although there are very high prices with many of the shoes you see in the shopping windows of Venice, often they are real artworks. But not only for the shoes, the whole decoration and presentation is fascinating. Most often the best of any design works come from Italy …
The Danube divides Vienna in two parts. Here are the bridges for crossing this river, they can be used by cars, metros, trains, bikes and pedestrians … But this city would need more bridges to handle all the traffic, a new one is planned in a region called Lobau.
The nice city of St. Gallen surprises you with very clean and neat surroundings. Take your time for some walking sessions and take the tram onto the hills. There you get a beautiful view of the city and buildings in swiss style.
During a hiking session on the mountains of Switzerland I spied a bird sitting on a wooden handrail. I took my camera very fast to catch this moment, I was very lucky because soon after I had taken my photo the bird flew away. Never understimate how important it is, to have your camera near you.
A typical Tokyo street, narrow, only one direction to drive by car, some guys walking, some bikers and Japanese neon signs.
Nordic walking is one of my Sunday hobbies. Most of the time, my wife is with me and my Leica D-Lux 5 to take photos. Sometimes we go to nearby hills, like the Kahlenberg in Vienna, where we can breath fresh air and look at the wonderful trees.
Today, the decision was made to switch this blog to English language. According to Google Analytics, there are more visitors from non German speaking countries like US, UK, Poland, France, Romania and others than from Germany or Austria. Beside of this English is a bit better suited Web language as German to reach out for a larger audience.
From now on all postings will be in English, the whole blog and linkings will follow within the next weeks.
Die Wiener Hotelszene wurde mit dem Spitzenhotel Grand Hyatt am Hof um einen hochwertigen Neuzugang reicher. In den Hotellobbies wird man nicht gerne mit einem Stativ gesehen, deshalb wurde dieses Foto handheld gemacht, nach HDR-Methode mit 3 unterschiedlichen Belichtungseinstellungen.
Ich hatte Glück dass ich einen doppelten Regenbogen über dem Burgtheater in Wien fotografieren konnte. Bei der Abfahrt von zu Hause überlegte ich noch ob ich die Kamera mitnehmen sollte. Andernfalls wäre mir der Schnappschuss entgangen, hier hätte das iPhone als Ersatz nicht gereicht. 🙂
