2017-07-14 FIELDS FROM THE QUADCOPTER

I have the admission from Austro Control, to fly with my quadcopter on uninhabited and unsettled areas, this means the nature, hills, mountains, and fields are flying territory for me. Even there some people get angry and think I am flying illegally. Then I have some short discussions, and sooner or later they give up and go their way. For me, the photos stay, and that’s my joy. 🙂

2017-07-13 SEGWAY BETWEEN THE BIKES

Stockholm is a great city for bikers; there are some bicycle-lanes where you can see hundreds of bikers driving. And no restrictions for Segways, they cruise around in the whole town. Stockholm has all means of transportation, bikes, Segways, Uber, Taxis, subways, trains, ships, rickshaws and your feet for the last mile. 🙂

2017-07-12 MURAL PAINTINGS IN KARLSKIRCHE

The Karlskirche in Vienna has an elevator which brings you up near the cupola. Then you have to take a wooden “Stairway to Heaven” ( :-)) to reach the top, but there the windows are barred with thick iron grids, no good condition for taking photos. So I went two levels down and concentrated on the phenomenal frescos of the vaulted walls. Those painters get too less attention for their art, though it is tough work to paint on these big walls and hold all in perspective, bring the right colors and arrange a set of motives which often tell a story.

2017-07-11 NORTHERN COAST OF CALIFORNIA

After we had left that cool Californian restaurant where we ate a lobster sandwich and experienced a beautiful sea view we continued our way to San Francisco. The more often I glanced out of the window, the more I knew we had to stop soon and take some shots of the sinking sun and the sea. I urged our driver to stop; then we saw a greater parking lot, we jumped out and started to shoot. I was the only “real” photographer, all other colleagues had only their phones with them, though you can also make great photos with smartphones. 🙂

2017-07-10 SYMMETRY OF BRATISLAVA CASTLE

I like the symmetry of this building with the long window fronts, the clear structure, the facade with the pale colors. On the photo is the patio of Bratislava Castle, where I did a one-day visit coming from Vienna with a hydrofoil. Bratislava is also an attractive low tax city; you can see many buildings of Amazon, Oracle, Accenture and other tech companies, which have their European headquarter there.

2017-07-09 DECISION FOR GARDEN OF GLASS

I had one half-day spare time in Seattle before my flight back to Europe. There were three exhibitions where I could enter, but time left only for one

Museum of Rock (I had visited it last year already)

Science Fiction Exhibition

Garden of Glass

Then the sculptures at the entrance of “Garden of Glass” impressed me and I entered. Fascinating, the gardens near the Space Needle were decorated and extended with glass plants, it was a mixture of real garden and glass.

Some plants reminded me of the planets in the television series “Star Trek” 🙂

2017-07-08 LITTLE CHAPEL BETWEEN THE TREES

This little chapel is placed neatly between chestnut trees; there are even some wooden banks and a small altar inside. Seen during a Nordic walking session through the “Lainzer Tiergarten,” a big green wooden area with deer, boar and occasionally some snakes. My wife has seen one 🙂

2017-07-07 THE LONGER WALK TO RAINBOW BRIDGE

Going out of the nearest subway station to Rainbow Bridge(according to my calculation), I first thought the bridge would be right around the corner. But I deluded myself; it was about a 3-4 miles walk to get to the appropriate position for taking photos. Since my kids were with me, I heard constant complaints about this unprepared “journey”. Sometimes you have to take that extra mile for a photo. 🙂 And you are not in Tokyo every day, especially if you are European.

2017-07-06 MILLIONS OF BOOKS IN DIGITAL TIMES

Since I am converted almost entirely to a digital reader (iPad, Kindle), I was astounded of the millions of physical books exhibited in the Austrian National Library. I wondered if all of those books had been read by someone, at least they had been written and printed. 🙂 Many have a leather cover, golden embossings and are written in Kurrent. Even the building from out- and inside is fantastic, a photographer’s dream.

2017-07-05 SEATTLE FROM THE DUCK BOAT

After entering the sea in the “Ride the Ducks” amphibious vehicle, you get a nice, different view of Seattle. I was lucky, sitting directly at the window to take shots without much hindering. It was a fun tour; the tour guide was singing and making jokes, we were getting around the city and water canals and having fun shooting photos.
