2018-05-18   TREES ON CINQUE TERRE WALK

t was a 4-hour walk at about 40° C in the plump midday sun from Corniglia to Monterosso. Uphill on stone steps, down on sandy and dusty ways, through trees and plants and great views to the mediterranean sea. After two-thirds of the ways we saw an old man, who was selling fresh orange juice and water, there was already a queue, waiting for the drinks. With the photo shooting, I had to be careful, because of my sweaty hands and the dust in the air.

2018-05-17   ROOFS OF A CHURCH IN CARINTHIA

My wife Karin and I were on a Quad tour where we could drive on hilly streets and farm lanes. It was kind of fun, and from time to time we stopped and I was on the way to shoot some photos. I saw that church with the intricated roofs which give a not commonplace view and picture.

2018-05-16   WATER SHOW IN DUBAI

One of the exciting events in Dubai is the water show near the Burj Khalifa. I think it starts at about 7 pm and is a great spectacle. I started with a tripod and was rejected by a guardian immediately, then I had to switch to handheld shooting.

2018-05-15   BURGGARTEN IN THE LATE AFTERNOON

The Burggarten in Vienna is a park for chilling out on the lawn, driving with skateboards or having a good time with a simple walking session between high broadleafs which spend shadows during the afternoon heat. For a break, you can visit a lounge where you get cold Aperol Sprizz.

2018-05-14   EDINBURGH THROUGH CASTLE WINDOW

Walking around in Edinburgh Castle I tried different compositions and sceneries at my photography tour. Here in the photo, I shot through a castle window with the city on the ground. Shooting from such high places replaces drone flying and brings you aerial shots without too much effort.

2018-05-12   NIGHT IN THE CITY OF PRAGUE

Walking through cities in the night is one of my hobbies. I like the lights in different colors, the illuminated buildings and some cafes and bars where I can walk in for a drink. In one hand a camera, over the shoulder the second camera and always ready to catch some pictures. At the same time, I have to be an entertaining companion for my wife. 🙂

2018-05-11   SCHLUMBERGER CHAMPAGNE CELLARS

Although I live very near, I never visited the wine and champagne cellars of Schlumberger champagne producer factory. A unique experience walking through the vaults, built from thousands of bricks. After the exhibition, you get a glass of champagne, which is included in the entry ticket.

2018-05-10   SHEIKH ZAYED MOSQUE IN THE NIGHT

This was the last photo of my session at the Sheikh Zayed mosque. I was impressed by the lighting of the towers and domes. At the exit I took my belongings form a safe and my wife gave back the veil. We went to the parking place and took our way back to Dubai. Even on the highway, I saw many illuminated mosques which were fascinating, I will come back for sure.

2018-05-09   UNDER A BRIDGE IN LITTLE VENICE LONDON

Little Venice in London is worth a visit, its unique boats and canals bring some variety to the urban jungle. On the riverside are cool bars and restaurants. I even found a bar on a boat where I had a pint of cider.
