The Taj Mahal is not the one and only sight you can see in Agra. I would recommend the Tomb of I’timad ud Daulah, also a mausoleum and a little Taj Mahal. Surrounded by red brick walls it resides in a green park scenery, near the river Yamuna.
The Italian style doesn’t stop in the streets and with architecture, it continues in many shops and restaurants. The color tones and quality of those bags is wonderful, but from the price it’s also on the higher side. But looking is inexpensive 🙂
“Old man and the sea” was a book from Ernest Hemingway. My motive is no fisherman but it’s an old man for sure. The wind, surge of waves and the smell of the sea with an old man standing and looking at the wide horizon.
Amersfoort is a Dutch city with all ingredients for a beautiful day. Some canals, city wall, old town, Mondriaan exhibition, shopping street, beer pub and some cool dining destinations. Also really nice alleys, as shown on the photo here.
Often in the evening or night, the accord of colors in Venice is a wonderful spectacle. For this situations a camera should be near, preferably with a tripod or high ISO capabilities.
When I showed this photo to some friends, they thought this is a backyard of a building in Italy or Rome. But I did this photo in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY. I think this could fool many people, often reality and fiction are not so far away.
I often think, how mountains look cooler in color or in black and white. For this photo from Tyrol near Ischgl I have chosen b&w. I did this from the balcony of my hotel, really cool if you go out and have the mountains around you. The lens used was the Sony Zeiss 135 1.8.
For me, the only opportunity to enter an aircraft carrier is to visit the USS Intrepid in New York. It’s fascinating how much iron and metal has been used and how massively this ship is built. Not only on the deck, also in the cabins. A real cool sight in NY !!
In Venice, for historical buildings and architecture, there is no need to go to a museum, often you’ll find it in your hotel. Like the interior of Hotel Palazzo Stern on the picture. This hotel is also very near to a water bus station, therefore fully recommended.
For those who are interested in beer brewing and don’t say no to some beer after the exhibition 🙂 visit the Heineken experience. It’s a fun walking tour about history and kind of stuff from which beer is made. That’s supported with multi media and some cool Heineken gadgets to buy.
