2017-06-24 BUILDING GETS COLOR FROM THE SINKING SUN

After I was visiting my brother in the hospital, I got hungry and wanted to go to a “Make my Burger” – McDonald’s. I like the idea, to make the burger yourself, you can choose a bun made of spelt, and choose the ingredients in a way, that the burger doesn’t get too fat. From the parking lot, I spied that building, tinted lightly in orange and yellow from the sinking sun, a perfect evening shot for the iPhone. 🙂

2017-06-23 PALMS IN A LOUNGE

A typical scene from the Caribbean? Growing palms in a lounge, with the hot sunny weather? In Stockholm you have lounges, but no real palms. 🙂 I had to go very near to verify if they are real, but then recognized the fakes. This bar was near the Vasa Museum, a place I can recommend if you need rest from some longer walking and sightseeing sessions.

2017-06-22 MANHATTAN IN THE NIGHT

I wanted to make the classical New York shot a bit different. I used darker/black colors, increased the glowing lights, turned the sky grayer. This style gives the pulsating city a look like Gotham City in Batman. 🙂 I did that shot on the Rockefeller observation deck “Top of the Rock,” best place to get the Empire State on a photo.

2017-06-21 VILLAGES FROM THE AIR

Flying with a quadcopter can be adventurous like happened here, shortly after I took that photo. Suddenly the DJI app on my iPhone got black, with the red message “Connection Lost.” What to do? Tipping on the screen, didn’t help. Sweat was pouring on my forehead, had I lost my drone? About 2 minutes later, the screen was back, and I could maneuver the copter again. Maybe stronger wind or so could skip the connection? In the forefront, you can see the Mauerbach Charterhouse, founded in 1314 and rebuilt in 17th and 18th centuries.

2017-06-20 ZUCCHERO CONCERT ON THE MOUNTAINS

The Tyrolese ski resort Ischgl brought Italian superstar Zucchero (=sugar) for this year’s ski season closing concert. The show occurred on the Idalp, a mountain plateau at 2307m (2522 yds). Year by year about 20,000 people find their way up to this concert arena, which only can be reached by ski lifts. For me, it was one of the relatively rare occasions where I could use my Tele lenses. The event starts about 1 pm and lasts for about 3 hours, where party atmosphere takes place. 🙂 You got a cool Italian Prosecco/Aperol spritz drink.

The arena:

Closer to Zucchero, here I used my Sony FE 70-200 F/4 lens:

2017-06-19 TOKYO AT NIGHT FROM ABOVE

I did that shot handheld from the parachute attraction in the amusement park near Tokyo Dome. On the wobbly platform during the night, high iso was a must. This shot represents what I love about Tokyo, the streets, the endless sea of buildings and houses and the lights. For some shots, I think you have to do them, regardless if the conditions are perfect for doing photos. I gladly accept some grain if the angle and outcome look cool.

2017-06-18 PIRANHAS IN THE OFFICE

In that office, where I attended a technical lecture about Citrix Netscaler, office space was separated by aquariums. That one shown in the photo was the most interesting because the population was piranhas. I had the luck that I could see the feeding; the food looked like dry dog food. The piranhas were fast like an arrow while snapping after the food. Better not go bathing in the Amazon while they are hungry. 🙂

2017-06-17 ONCE THE BIGGEST SHIP ON EARTH

The Vasa had a long building phase of 2 years but a very short life on the sea for about some hours, it foundered after sailing about 1,300 m (1,400 yds). The ship is a giantism, unbelievable massive wooden construction, many artful sculptures. But the superstructure was too big, that led to the inglorious end.

2017-06-16 VINEYARDS AND FIELDS

The endless vineyards of the “Weinviertel” bring mostly white wines like, “Grüner Veltliner,” Riesling, Chardonnay, and Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains. The last two are the sweeter ones; those are more my taste. 🙂 In the little wine houses are cellars which go deep into the earth with the natural temperature for ripening of the wine in hogsheads.

2017-06-15 BRIDGES IN BERLIN

Germany’s capital is a historical extravaganza, especially the occurrences you remember happened not hundreds of years ago, some are dated back only centuries. There’s the Checkpoint Charlie, “Unter den Linden,” the relics of the wall, the Reichstag, the Brandenburger Tor. I took a hop on, hop off – bus, with good weather and the open deck, the best way to explore the city on a higher level. And some modern architecture will impress you, too.
