2019-03-13 COWS AND BULLS ON THE ALP

On the descent from the mountain Schafsberg, my wife Karin and I came from the rocky alpine landscape where only a few pines grew into the zone of the green Alps. Suddenly we were surrounded by dozens of cows, where we quickly realized that some bulls were among them. They were all eager to eat, so we could pass unobtrusively without causing a stir. In Austria we have recently had incidents with cows and hikers, so it is better not to provoke the cows, and especially the bulls.

2019-03-12 STREETS OF BARCELONA

From my four days Barcelona-business-trip I reserved an evening and the following night for photo tours. No other of my colleagues were interested, so I was a lone ranger. Thy preferred to hang around with beer and wine, though I had that sociality for two nights anyway. I experienced a bridge with a good view of the streets below. There I placed my tripod and was ready to form some “light-painting” shots from the headlights of the driving cars.

2019-03-11 MUSEUM IN EDINBURGH

It has started raining on the streets of Edinburgh, and the next refuge was the Museum of Scotland. The entry was free and we a timeframe of one hour to explore before closing. The galleries over four floors impressed me. I thought about the composition, where I concluded that photos with a wide angle lens from a higher level would be appropriate. My museum tour was a photo tour also, with many shots of the exhibits and the interior architecture.

2019-03-10 FRESH MUSHROOMS

As I saw these mushrooms, I would have changed my bed-and-breakfast accommodation against an apartment with a kitchen immediately. I was dreaming about frying the yellow boletuses in olive oil and adding garlic. My wife Karin was thinking the same. But it stayed with taking a photo and then exploring the old town of Aix-en-Provence with a tuk-tuk train.

2019-03-08 THE NIGHT SETTLES OVER BORDEAUX

It was good to hear the first German words after a week in France. My wife Karin and I were at a stand-up bar, where we met a German couple. After a few minutes, I had to leave the conversation because I saw that beautiful evening sky. I snapped my camera and searched after the right composition. For the photos you want, you often have to go the extra mile. That’s worth it. After ten minutes I was back and could continue with my glass of red Bordeaux wine.

2019-03-07 JOGGER IN SCHÖNBRUNN

Schönbrunn Castle with the sizeable surrounding castle park brings many statues and monuments. They are built in the time of women emperor Maria Theresia. For many joggers, the area gives unique views and a diversified running ground from gravel to grass. An uphill run to the Gloriette, which you can see in the background on the photo, is an option for the athletic runners.

2019-03-06 MOUNTAIN CHAIN NEAR SCHLADMING

From the Dachstein glacier, you get the view of the massive mountain chains of the Alps. I wonder if climbers were already on all the summits which I could see. The Dachstein Sky Walk was the platform for the photo, an observation deck for the people who are not afraid of heights.

2019-03-05 CHARLES BRIDGE IN THE MORNING

My son Dorian and I were visiting an Expo in Prague. We took a train-roundtrip which is about 4 hours in one direction between Vienna and Prague. On Sunday morning we had 3 hours spare time to visit the city, the first visit was the Charles Bridge from above. To get a great view, you have to enter the tower which lies on the city side. From there you get the view of the Vltava river, the Charles Bridge and the skyline in the background.

2019-03-04 INTENSE MORNING SUNRISE

On my way to work, I usually don’t have a camera with me. For the spectacular sunrise photo, which looked like a volcano had burst on the horizon, I took my iPhone. When I travel with my wife, I notice the flexibility and speed of photographing with smartphones. I dig the camera out of my bag, during which time my wife has already taken five to six photos with her mobile phone.
