One of the landscapes I liked most in “Lord of the Rings” were the misty mountains. I haven’t been to New Zealand yet but I did a shot of misty mountains in Vienna, though not so cool as the originals I like the photo. Shot with the Sony Zeiss SAL 135 1.8.
This is really cool, eh? You can see this grassy head at the entry of the Crystal Worlds of Swarovski. It’s an artwork of Andre Heller. In the whole outside area there are artistic buildings, gardens and waterfalls. I think it’s unique in the world and a must see in the town of Wattens in Tyrol, Austria.
This wall wasn’t for real but did a good multimedia impression after walking into this room at the Expo. It was a representation of news feeder, stock market quotes, real time information and video wall, all happening at the same time and a bit overwhelming 🙂
Victoria Park impresses with views of the different skylines of Hong Kong. You get long walking paths and even professional jogging careers which are highly frequented. It’s always a bit relaxing to go into a park after many hours of the hectic city life. 🙂
Malta offers some really cool lounges, like here on the photo Pearl Beach in Sliema. If you need time for relax and want a breeze of the sea in a chilling atmosphere with some good cocktails in your hand then go there. It has even a path down to the sea if you prefer the sea water over the pool. Seats and loungers are very comfortable hours will went away in a flash …
Before entering the temple you have to go through a “shopping” street named Nakamise where you get fine sweets made from bean paste. Those taste really good and are fat free 🙂 The temple buildings are amazing, there are purification fountains outside for some kind of washing ritual.
Often the waiting time at the airports gets a bit boring. Sometimes you have the luck to see cool architecture and a view directly to the airplanes outside as happened here at the Hong Kong International Airport. Then it’s a good idea, if you have your photo equipment with you so that you can grab your photo bag, take out your camera and begin to shoot.
The only way to go to Hearst Castle is by a visitors bus which brings you via serpentines to that amazing castle. From arrival time until leave it’s a never ending photo journey. Statues, in door and out door pools with impressing mosaic tiles, pillars, ornamented windows, a botanical garden …
Hong Kong, one of the most fascinating cities of the world, offers you interesting expressions street for street. It’s a never ending flow of traffic, pedestrians, cars and shops.
From the pool at the Le Meridien you have a good view to the next near hotel, the Shangri La in New Delhi. It’s a pleasure swimming in this pool and looking around to the different hotels in this area, particularly in the night.
