2018-09-20   VIENNA VOLKSGARTEN

Between the Vienna Ring Road and the Inner City there lies a park named Volksgarten. Historic buildings and some bars and restaurants surround the area. The museum Albertina is near, the State Opera also. You will find some compositions for your photo gallery, particularly in the blue and golden hour.

2018-09-18   PASTA TO GO IN VERONA

Italian pasta to go, for me the perfect food during the day. Less expensive than in a restaurant, sufficient size of the meal, that you get sated, and many variations from you can choose. Also a good idea for your family trip or the long-lasting sightseeing tours between the Italian alleys.

2018-09-16   THE CLIFFS NORTH OF DUNDEE

My visit to Scotland wasn’t fulfilled without seeing the cliffs. Since my mainstay was in Edinburgh, I took a rental car and went up the North until Dundee. According to my Google-search, bold cliffs should begin here. After a trial-and-error car-Navi faux-pas I could reach the parking lots where the cliffs start. And I wasn’t disappointed, cliffs with wild grass, the vast sea and the right dosage of clouds, all that I imagined for my cliff photos. 🙂

2018-09-14   RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT IN STOCKHOLM

How do people live away from the tourist paths? The photo shows a residential district in Stockholm, fewer tourists more Swedish people. A traditional area with 3-4 level houses, streets with parking lots, cross-walks and a man in a hurry and a young mother with her child.

2018-09-12   MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY LOBBY

The Museum of Natural History in Vienna has the ambient of a magnificent castle of ancient times. The decoration and interior architecture is an art for itself, beginning from the art-deco floors to the crested pillars and up to the dramatic ceilings. Though the exhibitions appear more old school with outdated cabinets, the building is a marvel and worth to visit.

2018-09-10   AFTER DINNER IN BARCELONA

After dinner my colleagues were going into their hotel rooms, it was already 11 pm. I added 1 hour for a photo tour, I was lucky, the hotel was near the Placa de Espana. Armed with my Sony A7R II and a mini tripod I got ready for some night shots. Looking after staircases with concrete sockets was my first agenda, then I tried to get the right composition and prepared the camera settings for long-term exposure.

2018-09-09   THE CHURCH OF WEISSENKRICHEN

On the photo is the fortified church of Weissenkirchen in Lower Austria. It’s a church with a castle wall and defensive positions, built in the medieval times, a mixture of church and ancient castle. The location is on a knoll, one of the higher points in the city, which underlines the position for defense against horse attacks and knight troops.

2018-09-08   THE WIDE AREA OF THE FALLS

I was impressed that the Niagara Falls are two falls. One of it on the Canadian side and the other on the American side. The whole area is more significant than I thought. Often I have seen many Youtube videos, pictures and documentaries of sight, and then I am a bit disappointed when I am standing before the attraction. The opposite was true with the Niagara Falls, more excitement and spectacle than I have imagined.

2018-09-07   PARK IN GENOA

After three days in the Cinque Terre, my wife Karin and I gave a visit to Genoa a try. We entered a train from Corniglia; it took about 1h 20 minutes to arrive in Genoa. I bought a cold Aloe-Vera drink at the railway station, then paid a little amount to upgrade to the first class and we had a relaxing ride in an air-conditioned compartment. After a long walk in Genoa, we took a hop on-hop off -bus where I could capture some beautiful moments of the drifting in the city.

2018-09-05   BOTANICAL GARDEN IN VARENNA

I think Lake Como with the city Como got famous because of the stars like George Clooney, which have a villa there. The village Bellagio got famous because of the casino in Las Vegas with the same name. My wife Karin and I took a speedboat tour which had ship stations at each village at the lake. One stop was Varenna, where you can walk through a fantastical botanical garden, which is very neat and has a broad spectrum of Mediterranean plants and trees.
