2019-12-16  CHRISTMAS STAND IN EDINBURGH

It was two years ago that I was in Edinburgh during Christmas time. The park area with the Christmas market caught my attention, and my camera was ready. It was pretty cold. My woolen gloves were cut off so that the fingertips peeked out — a good compromise for holding your hands warm and configuring the camera settings for photo shooting.

2019-12-16  STILL LIFE OF A TABLE

The Schwarzes Kameel is my favorite restaurant and bar in Vienna. Sitting there, in the outside area, is pretty much cool, you have the old restaurant from the 16th century on one side and the busy pedestrians on the other side. The waiters with a dress code and bow tie are top. Very lovely to sit and have a good time. I often try to get different photos there, as here from the table with glasses.

2019-12-15  OUTSIDE THE SPORTS BAR

While my wife and my daughter were busy with window shopping, I was with my son Maro on the Parkring in Vienna. We saw a sports bar which was full, whatever on a Saturday with all the football leagues playing. Our decision was waiting for some minutes outside and hoping to get a place. In the meantime, I could shoot some photos of my son.

2019-12-13  BAD WEATHER AT LOCH LOMOND

In the beginning, I was annoyed that fog covered Loch Lomond. Then I could still take a few short minutes where the sky was thinning to take pictures. A short time later, the fog was back, and rain started. Now when I look at the photos, I like the sky with the heavy rain clouds. Almost every weather situation offers the possibility for photos.

2019-12-12  CHRISTMAS IN THE CITY

Now is the time where the whole city of Vienna represents itself in Christmas decorations. Many streets show Christmas lightning. Often you get a full Xmas-experience, from one Christmas market to the next, connected via Xmas-decorated lanes. What do you need more to get in Christmas mood?

2019-12-11  SITTING IN THE GRASS

The unique promenade in Bordeaux. People who make themselves comfortable in the high grass. On the other side, the street dancers. A pleasant illumination of the bridges, paths, and bicycle lanes. A very relaxed nightlife in Bordeaux.

2019-12-10  THE GREAT MOSQUE

Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. It’s sheer size, architecture, and construction is overwhelmingly impressive. Inside and outside, you can explore so many details and perspectives. You have to take care of your clothing and pull off your shoes in some places, and you are not allowed to cross the barriers, but you are entirely free to take photos. So I shot a lot. Since I was there in the later afternoon, I stayed there until the night. I could fully participate in the golden and the blue hour.

2019-12-09  MY SON ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON

After a two hours session in the gym, we were starving. I drove with my son Maro to the Naschmarkt to eat a Kebap. At Dr. Falafel, they have the best, with chicken or falafel, spicy sauces, and fresh vegetables. We continued shopping at the market with fruits, eggs, and meat for the coming week. After that, I added a half on hour photo session, where I could get some beautiful portrait shots.

2019-12-08  THE COLORFUL MARKET HALL IN ROTTERDAM

First I saw the famous Market Hall in a youtube video. I was impressed by the painted fruits that decorate the ceiling. Behind the many windows on the side walls are apartments. The inhabitants have daily views from the happenings in the market. I dried some coconut balls and tasty cheese. The photo shows the capabilities of the Google Pixel 3 XL smartphone. With some post-processing, you get presentable images.

2019-12-07  DECK CHAIRS IN THE SUN OF MALTA

The warm sun of Sliema over the deck chairs. Pleasant to see the photo where it currently has just -2 degrees outside temperature for me, sitting in my living room in Vienna.
