Italian streets are unique, these styles, architecture and colors… you will only find there. And the culture has been coined for thousands of years, back to the Roman Empire. This scene of Venice was a bit off the tourist zones, still very lovely to watch and go around 🙂
This landscape has been shot in Uri, one of the three founding cantons of Switzerland ( Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden). My wife and me were on the way down from Gotthard Pass where I saw the crest of Uri. I searched after a parking lot to take my camera and soon I was in the valley shooting photos. The grass was so green, a paradise for every cow. 🙂
This modern building has been shot from the roof of a Red Bus. You can see how the building is pressed into the “corner”, place is rare in Hong Kong. 🙂
I ordered the quadcopter at Amazon Prime and it should arrive this week. Then I have some work to do with the authorities, in Austria you have to register the device at the Austro Control and have to wait about 2 months for the permission to fly which is valid for 2 years. Red tape 😐 , however my plan is to fly between the mountains of Ischgl end of April 🙂
2017-01-18 COOKING AT GRAND HYATT VIENNA
I like it to go to hotel bars, have a good drink, most often an Italian cocktail like Cynar or Averna and chat a bit and have a good time. Last time I was at the Grand Hyatt Vienna, a top hotel with a cool bar and an open kitchen, as you can see on the photo.
I was standing on the deck of a ferry from Malta to Gozo. It was very windy and most of the guests were inside so I used the free space to walk around to take photos of the mediterranean sea 🙂
I was on the way with a hop on – hop off bus when I decided to leave and take a walk by foot. I was near the Commerce Court when I wanted to eat some Nachos with Guacamole. Inside the building with the food court, I saw those interesting lighting which gave a modern touch to that place.
For this shot, I tried to take it a bit different, not from the standard visitors area, but rather from a wooden staircase which leads to the restaurant behind.So the whole viewing area got a bit wider to capture this fantastic panorama.
This year I tried to visit the Vienna Auto show early, I have been there at about 9 am. Even at this time there was slow traffic and parking only possible at the third floor and up, so many people. Many new models, like Land Rover Discovery, the new VW Golf, new Ford Edge, Mercedes GLC Coupe, Tesla Model X, I took photos of some exotic ones, which you will not see on the streets very often 🙂 … Bugatti and Rolls-Royce
The new extension of the Swarovski Crystal World brings an exciting park area outside. A labyrinth formed like a hand, alpine brook, modern buildings and a forest made from steel and glass.
Since taking photos in the Albertina gallery is forbidden, I smuggled my little Nikon Coolpix A inside, to take some hidden photos 🙂 I think many of the galleries are worried about the flashes, but they don’t know that many cameras can make superior photos without flash, even inside. After my visit I got this nice angle of the Vienna State Opera where I took this nightly shot without tripod.
