2017-04-15  THE MOST FAMOUS CAFE IN VIENNA

Cafe Landtmann is a high-quality Viennese cafe and restaurant. The waiters dressed in a black suit with bow tie and a white shirt. The menu made of special paper with first class photos of the food in many languages. The service is courteous, the food excellent, the coffee fine, the sweet dishes are first class, you can even sit in a sunroom. Recommended 🙂

2017-04-14  PIZZA COOK IN ITALY

This female pizza cook helped with garnishing and baking the pizzas, selling the slices in the store and cashier the money. A labor division which makes the job more varied, which keeps the motivation higher. Especially the pizza tasted superb, smooth and crisp pizza dough, great tomato sauce, mushrooms and artichokes with mozzarella cheese. And the smell …  🙂

2017-04-13  TREES AND THE SUN

The sinking sun over a field with some trees without leaves, a photo scene which many photographers shot thousands of times. But each shot varies, bringing different clouds and skies, types of trees, colors, and mood. So it’s always worth to take it.

2017-04-12  GRAFFITIS ALONG THE DANUBE CANAL

As I grew up in Vienna, the only graffitis I have seen were on photos from the large cities of the US. That has changed, last week I did a walking tour along the Danube canal, there are miles of graffitis along the way. Often real artworks, some more colorful, others with a message, some a bit flashy, but always something to explore, no boredom for sure  🙂

2017-04-11  PATH TO THE SEA ON THE HAMPTONS

Loose wooden fences, some hassocks coming out of the sand, and a sandy path to the sea, and a blue sky – a typical scenery of the Hamptons. I took this shot at the beach of South Hampton; it was hard to find a place near the sea, which you could enter, most of the area are private properties. However, never give up, and often you will find what you are looking for 🙂 I am excited again and again how beautiful photos the little Leica D-Lux 5 makes. 😉

2017-04-10  BREAKFAST ROOM IN VENICE

This breakfast room was so stylish that I wanted to take a photo in the evening when nobody was in there anymore, and I had time to place my tripod. The rays of these handblown lamps gave an interesting effect of light combined with the interior, the mirrors, and the greenish walls.

2017-04-09  RURAL VILLAGE BETWEEN CORN FIELDS

In this area of Austria are dozens of villages like this, a traditional structure with a community center, a church, old town, main street, a grain elevator at the village outskirts and country lanes between the fields. From above it reminds me of a model railroad layout.  🙂

2017-04-08  LIGHTING IN THE MOSQUE

During my time in Istanbul, I visited many mosques. It was completely new for me, I have never been in a mosque before. The decorations, the build, the mosaics and the lights, all fascinating. And nobody had a problem, that I took photos. It’s always the best to respect a different culture, and your behavior should be according to the rules.  🙂

2017-04-07  GLORIETTE IN THE AFTERNOON

In the first sunny days of spring, I took some shots of the Gloriette in the Schönbrunn Palace area. It has been built in 1775 and thus has a few years under its belt. Since it has gone through renovation several times, it is in an excellent condition and an eye catcher for a spring day.

2017-04-06  BRIDGE IN TICINO

Ticino is the southernmost canton of Switzerland. We stayed in Ascona at Lake Maggiore and occasionally took a ride in the interior of the country. At a trip to the Verzasca Dam, we spied that little bridge made of stone. The mountain brook below was so clear and crisp, that I tried the Kneipp water treading at a shallow bank. How brisk and freshening !!  🙂
