2019-08-16 POPPY FIELD IN THE WALDVIERTEL
The Waldviertel, a region in Lower Austria, is renowned for its beautiful poppy fields. Poppyseed strudel, poppy tents, and poppy noodles are the specialties you get there. Neat villages are located between the fields. As it is only an hour’s drive from Vienna, I will visit the area more often now.

2019-08-14 BIKER IN AMSTERDAM
After a heavy rain shower, my wife Karin and I were out to search after a Pizzeria, which we found with Google. I often look at the reviews to get an idea if it is the restaurant I like. But you cannot always trust 4star+ reviews, better to try to read behind the lines. However, I used the walk to shoot some photos of the city streets.

The castle in Edinburgh has all the essentials of an old knight’s castle. Fortress wall, large, thick walls, fortified grounds, and placement on the highest point of the city. There, the fortress towers on the streets of Edinburgh, as a constant reminder of the great times.

2019-08-10 MY DAUGHTER ON THE MOUNTAINS
My daughter Cara and I visited my father at a therapy center, where he recovered from his knee surgery. We took the cable car to the Rax and hiked there all afternoon on the plateau at 2000 meters. Good mountain air and pure nature at this altitude, a great experience to be on a mountain again.

2019-08-08 CANALE GRANDE
The bustle at the Canale Grande. A group of photographers filled the bridge. It was challenging to find a gap; there were dozens of tripods in use. I took my Leica and made the photos by hand, trying to capture the mood on the channel.

2019-08-06 NIGHTLY WALK IN SAN DIEGO
If you plan a nightly walk without the hassle of carrying heavy photo-equipment, take a Google Pixel smartphone with you. It is capable of shooting great night shots and can be placed in the pocket of your trousers easily. One advantage more, your wife hasn’t to wait too long when you are shooting photos compared to a camera, where you are working on settings and composition much longer. 🙂

2019-08-05 LIGHT SHOW IN AVIGNON
The Palais des Papes brings a light show every evening in the vast courtyard. My wife Karin and I were not sure if we should attend. We decided to do it and did not regret it. I can tell you; this is an excellent multi-media show of light, projected movies on the palace walls, lasers, and an incredible soundscape.

2019-08-04 WROUGHT IRON ART IN CASTLE SCHLOSSHOF
The castle served as a summer residence and hunting lodge for the great commander Prince Eugene of Savoy. It underwent a complete renovation, and many forgotten works of art came to light — a pleasant Sunday trip only 30 kilometers from Vienna.

2019-08-03 ROME AND ITS FOUNTAINS
At times, I completely lost my bearings as I wandered through the multitude of alleyways in Rome. It was already late at night and could then take pictures of night scenes like this illuminated fountain. These architectural pearls can only be found in Italy.

2019-08-01 VIEW OVER THE ROOFS IN PRAGUE
If the towers at the Charles Bridge are open, use the opportunity to get up. There are some stairs to climb, in the summer you will arrive drenched above. On the terrace of the tower, the reward will be a great view of the city of Prague.
