2017-09-12 JAPANESE GARDEN IN SAN FRANCISCO

I visit nearly every Japanese Garden I can reach. I love the plants, the atmosphere, the little bridges, the tea houses, the Koi carps and the tidiness. I was lucky, that San Francisco has one of the greatest Japanese gardens I have ever seen. You find every Japanese artifact you can imagine, the whole facility very neat. Though you have to pay a little entry fee, you can combine it with the California Institute of Science or the De Young Museum.

2017-09-11 HIP BAR IN STOCKHOLM

After a long walk, we entered that hip bar and restaurant in Stockholm. It was downright crowded, and we had no reservation, so we got only a less prominent seat at the window. Due to the large orders, the waiters were under stress, and we had already 2 Aperol Sprizz each until we got our meal, which was a finger food plate. After the food, we ordered Averna on the rocks with lemon slices, which is my favorite aperitif.

2017-09-10 HUNDREDS OF WIND MILLS

The Burgenland, or called “Land of Castles,” one of the nine states of Austria, is very flat. It’s an entry point for heavy winds, which is predestinated to win energy from wind mills. On the horizon you see hundreds of them, spinning their wheels slowly with the wind.

“New York City ist die heißeste Stadt, wenn man einen neuen Boyfriend und ein Hotelzimmer hat.

New York City is my favorite place

2017-09-08 ART GALLERY ALBERTINA

In many art galleries taking photos is forbidden, but mostly only if you have cameras. 😯 Taking photos with smartphones are no problem; nobody says anything because nearly everyone does it. With a camera, the old thinking prevails, that you shoot photos with flash, which makes the color of the exhibited picture flat. However, I try my best, to make the photos without too much sensation, and of course without flash, which would be absurdly anyway, because of the light reflections of the paintings.

2017-09-07 GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE IN THE FOG

Our last day in San Francisco brought us to an observation deck at the hills in the south-west of SF. Since all photo equipment was packed already for the flight, I had only my Leica D-Lux 5 left. I thought, better than the phone and took my last shots of the Golden Gate Bridge with fog coming off the sea.

2017-09-06 HIGH SPEED TRAIN IN JAPAN

Standing at a train station near Mount Fuji, waiting for the train to Tokyo, suddenly a Shinkansen thunders with high speed through the train station. The intermediate trails reserve the transit traffic. You hear the Shinkansen roaring, then you see him coming, and some seconds later he has disappeared. Wow!! 😎

2017-09-05 THE BIG WAY UP TO GLORIETTE IN SCHÖNBRUNN

The view from the castle brings you the full splendor of the gardens and beauty of the Gloriette. On the ground of all the ways up lies gravel, which brings you gray, dusty shoes until you reach the peak of the hill. 🙂 I made this experience with black leather shoes, which I had on during the walk. Because I was not preparing for this visit; I even wore business clothes, this all happened by accident.

2017-09-04 MOSQUE IN ISTANBUL

This colorful ceiling of this mosque in Istanbul showed how detailed and elaborated these mosaics are. I think the building time must have lasted many years to bring it to that level, with great workers and architects behind. For this relatively low light environment I used my Sony A7S, the “King of Low Light”.

2017-09-03 AFRICAN DAYS

The African Days is an event on the Danube Island in Vienna, with food trucks, market stalls and two live concerts per day. I filmed the band “Black Prophet” on stage, it was entertaining, rhythmic music. I had my Sony A7R, Sony LA-EA4 adapter and the A-mount Sony Zeiss 135mm 1.8 lens with me, did handheld filming during the night with auto-focus, which I fixed with the focus-lock button on the lens.
