Yearly Archives: 2016

Tomorrow I am heading to Oktoberfest in Munich. My lederhose is already packed 🙂 Since this year are more security controls where no backpacks and bigger bags are allowed, I have chosen to take my Nikon Coolpix A with me, nice photo quality and small size  🙂

 

2016-09-16 NEAR TRIESTE

Walking around in the wonderful backyards of castle Miramare is really relaxing, you get some nice shadows of big trees to hide from the hot sun. Many statues with artfully sculptures strayed in the gardens give unique impressions.

NARCOS

I’m currently zooming through season 2 of Narcos on Netflix. What a great series …
Wagner Moura plays his role great, I have looked after other movies with him, but I think nothing can match Narcos…

 

2016-09-15 FAMOUS STADION

Camp Nou is one of the world’s most famous stadions, it’s the home of the great FC Barcelona. Built in 1957 it hasn’t lost its fascination. If you are walking through the empty terraces and staircases,  in the back of your head you can imagine the excitement if those ranks would be full of people.

2016-09-14 LIGHTING IN THE MOSQUE

I really liked the lightings in the mosques I visited, the bulbs are placed on enormous rings of iron for filling huge parts of the building with light. I haven’t seen this form of the bulbs before, they suit very good in these facilities. There have been no restrictions for taking photos so long you stayed in the area marked for visitors.

2016-09-12 FAN EXPO AT TORONTO CONVENTION CENTRE

This was a very cool event with fully crowded halls of the Toronto Convention Centre and star guests like Stan Lee or William Shatner. Outside you could grab good hot dogs with sauerkraut and relish. Many of the visitors were disguised like comic and science fiction heroes. For this pano I used my iPhone.

2016-09-11 CLEVELAND ON A MONDAY MORNING

By visiting relatives in Cleveland we went to the docks at lake Erie. It was very hot that day. Since it was Monday morning there were only few people around and I took the opportunity to take some photos with my Leica X Vario.

2016-09-10 JAPANESE FAST FOOD STORE

I cannot spell the name of this fast food store, but that really looks Japanese, the font, the styling, the layout… Since I hadn’t the time to try their products I only took a quick photo.

2016-09-08 CAFE IN MACAU

In Macau you get some kind of Las Vegas deja-vu, the hotels and interiors look very similar. Macau doesn’t have a real strip, this is one point for Las Vegas and they haven’t as many hotels, but what I could see many are currently under construction.

2016-09-07 VISITING ALBERTINA

In Vienna you can choose to visit many buildings from emperor or king epochs. One of my favorites is the Albertina, beneath exhibitions of great painters you can visit the muses hall, like here on the photo, and other interesting rooms and saloons. Since no tripod is allowed, you have to give your best handheld. 🙂
