2019-10-05 ANOTHER VIEW OF VENICE
I first marched the Rive degli Schiavoni westward, then took a side lane north. Then I found myself in another Venice; among other things, I could see long avenues lined with trees. In the end, I came back to the sea and could look at the Lido of Venice.

2019-10-04 GLASS FACADE MIRRORS IN CHICAGO
Chicago is the city where the aunt of my wife Karin lived. The family relocated to Baton Rouge and Cleveland then. Karin and I took the boat tour on the Chicago River, where I positioned myself to catch the best photos of the skyline. Don’t forget to set the high shutter speed, crucial when driving on a shaky boat. The tour guide was very entertaining, a joy to look at him when telling his stories. A tour to recommend, enjoyable, and great for shooting pictures.

2019-10-03 VENICE WITH ITS NARROW STREETS
Venice offers a new surprise to every corner. We were on Google Maps and let us show the way back to the hotel. Often we got into narrow streets, with bars, hotels and old, morbid masonry — a city built for eternity. For the shooting I used my Sony A7S where I used ISO 10,000. No problem at all for this high-ISO wunder-camera.

2019-10-02 THE WHITE DUCKS
It was some years ago that I visited with my wife Karin an art exhibition in Milan. One of my photos was about the white ducks and the farm animals. With art, the opinions often differ sharply, but this beautiful herd won the hearts of all spectators.

2019-10-01 SHOP IN HONG KONG
Buying some street food, drinking coconut-water, taking home some dried mushrooms, the little shops in Hong Kong provide all kinds of delights. I was walking miles over miles per day, only to shoot photos of the streets of Hong Kong.
