2018-12-09 WAITING FOR MY WIFE
My wife should have come at 4 pm in the Löwelstrasse, Vienna, to pick me up for a ride to Gloggnitz. At 4 pm the phone rang, and she told me, that she is still at home, but is leaving soon and will be half an hour late. Instead of getting angry 🙂 , I took my Google Pixel 2 phone and walked in the nearby streets and in the Volksgarten to take some photos. I was lucky, because, in winter time, 4 pm is a good time for photo shooting, with the sinking sun and therefore more beautiful colors.

2018-12-08 THE TOUR DE MEDOC
What can one do in the Medoc? Driving from Chateau to Chateau and taking photos, that was what my wife Karin and I were doing. In most of the Chateaus, you can go around freely, shooting pictures and exploring the facilities. Two times we attended a behind-the-scenes tour where you get info about the wine production and at the end a tasting of excellent Bordeaux wines.

2018-12-07 GREEN PARK IN STOCKHOLM
Abba museum, Wasa museum, Vikings experience are many attractions of Sweden’s capital Stockholm. But often it depends, should you go in, is the attraction worth the price? Most parks are completely free and give enjoyment after a long walk on the hot tarmac of the city. I took a break on a bank. Then I looked at Tripadvisor to read the recommendations of the sights.

2018-12-06 AFTER CROSSING WITH A BIKE
We were a group of eight when crossing the Golden Gate Bridge with rental E-bikes. The bike lane is relatively narrow; you have to manage the driving while many bikes come from the opposite direction. Often you have to stop, let others ride, start again, pause, then stopping for sightseeing, get on the bikes and go further. It’s a great experience on that large bridge. After arriving on the viewing point, I had the great opportunity to take some photos, which have a bit of a different view of the bridge.

2018-12-05 CHURCH IN VILLAGE FALKENSTEIN
During an evening walk between the corn fields, I stopped for taking photos of the landscape. My brother and his girlfriend were patient and polite, they always waited for me, so I had enough time for my photos. On the way home, we went into a wine bar for some food and let the evening end in a quiet atmosphere.

After visiting the Andreas Gursky exhibition in the Hayward Gallery in the Southpark Centre in London, we did a break in a nearby park and were watching the hustle and bustle around. An excellent opportunity for taking photos of the passengers and the parking area.

Multistorey house fronts surround the old town of Como. On the wide alleys are snack stands and magazine kiosks. I sat down on one of the plastic chairs, ordered a diet coke with ice and was waiting for my wife.

2018-12-02 WINE TAVERN IN RETZ
We were a group of four when visiting the pumpkin celebrity in the wine-village Retz in northern Lower Austria. The whole village is decorated, dozens of market stands are lined on the streets, and a music band is playing. The typical wine taverns invite for a short break; they are called “Heuriger” in Austria. You get simple food, mostly bread with cheese or salty ham, pickles, and horseradish. The wine is mainly from the surrounding area, often in biological quality.

2018-12-01 COMBINING THE OLD WITH THE NEW
Often you see the combination with old and new styles in the interior design, walls with old bricks and cables, completed with brushed stainless steel, aluminum, and glass elements. For higher skyscrapers, you have to go to Toronto at least, to see a raw-brick building with a glass tower integrated.
