Yearly Archives: 2017

After a scientific congress in the Orangerie of Schönbrunn Palace, I used the opportunity to take some shots of the surroundings. I packed my Nikon Coolpix A in my business bag; it’s light and handy and helpful for situations like this, where you have half an hour of time to shoot some photos, but you won’t carry too much weight. Since thousands of pictures of Schönbrunn exists already, I tried that different approach with the park bench in front. 🙂

On that hot, sunny day, we planned a relaxing walking session for a Sunday afternoon. What we didn’t recognize before was that the way went uphill about 4/2.5 km/miles, anything but relaxing :-). We arrived completely sweated on the hill, I was lucky, that I had only my Leica X Vario with me, which is relatively light. After my hands had been dry, I did a shot of that chestnut tree; it had an unusual form, the branches broadened up with height.

I was the godfather for my nice’s confirmation, after the church ceremony and lunch, the classical confirmation trip brought us to the amusement park “Prater” in Vienna. I decided to attend a smooth ride, and soon I was on “Koidl’s Ferris Wheel” from where I had a great view of the park from above.
