2019-05-04 THE BIG TUNNEL OF THE WIEN(RIVER)

The Wien(River) is not a real river, more like a broader creek. But the concrete river bed is colossal. The river flows through the middle of the city, through large tunnels. I went for a Sunday walk with my wife Karin in the city park. When Wien(River) I took the opportunity to shoot a few photos.

2019-05-03 KIOSK IN AVIGNON

In the city bypass in Avignon, you drive next to the historic city wall and discover some unique buildings of yesteryear. These scenes always remind me of French crime novels that I liked to see in my youth.

2019-05-02 AFTER MORNING WORKOUT

After my morning workout in the gym, I was walking at the Danube canal to get some fresh air and looking for some photo occasions.  There are miles of graffiti walls, where I shot some runners’ photos, with the person in the speedy foreground and the colorful graffiti in the background.

2019-05-01 SUPERTREE MIRACLE IN SINGAPORE

I can’t remember where I had the opportunity to shoot the Supertrees from above. It was not the official sightseeing platform at the bridge of the Marina Bay Sands, maybe from the rooftop bar on the observation deck of the hotel, where I used my maximum tele with 70mm. Since tripod weren’t allowed, I had to switch to higher ISO with hand-held shooting. However, this illuminated miracle of the changing lights in harmony with music is a one-of-a-kind impression.

2019-04-30 COMING HOME IN VENICE

My wife Karin and I arrived in Venice at about 5 pm. We parked our car in the San Marco garage, which we had booked online. I can recommend booking in advance, this garage is already on the island, from where you can go directly to the water-bus station. The 30-minute drive to the Piazza San Marco showed us the pink sky over Venice, with motor boats of Venetian residents on their way home. First I thought water busses are a bit slow, but in which city you can go from the outer areas to the center within 30 minutes? That’s pretty cool, no traffic jam, no traffic lights, no waiting time. 🙂

2019-04-29 THE CHURCH IN NANTES

The public rental bikes in Nantes have a basket in front of the handlebar, perfect for putting in the photo bag. By bike, we drove around in the old town and stopped in front of the interesting sights to take pictures. And the price of a bicycle for 24 hours was only € 1. The easier way for a photo tour compared to the miles of marches on foot.

2019-04-28 THE STAR WARS LANDSCAPE AT THE DEAD SEA

From Masada Fortress you have a great view of the Dead Sea. The landscape is unique, rugged soils and rocks, partly with salt crusts. With the shadows of the clouds and the haze in the sky, the scene seems like a science fiction movie.

2019-04-27 THE BLUE BULL IN SINGAPORE

The Gardens by the Bay offer an illuminated and colorful extravaganza when walking there during the night. Beneath the world famous Supertrees with its spectacular light show, you can find many smaller exhibits, like this blue bull on the photo. I spent 5 hours there, from the beginning of the light show to the curfew. My wife was already tired and made herself comfortable on a park bench while I was still on a final photo tour.

2019-04-26 THE WHITE HALL AT THE LEICA WORLD WETZLAR

After entering the Leica World building you arrive in a white hall. Around the corner on the left are world famous Leica photos digitized with illuminated background. In the middle is an exhibition of historic cameras and at the end on the right side, the factory tour begins. You can look through four big windows to watch the process of building lenses and cameras in real time. Worth a visit if you are near Frankfurt or Cologne.

2019-04-24 THE TEMPLATE FOR ASSASSIN’S CREED

The first thought when I walked into this courtyard was that the developers of Assassin’s Creed went over here and got the ideas for the design of their buildings. My son Maro would have enjoyed it, he played all parts of Assassin’s Creed and is a big fan of the game. A good reason to visit Verona. 🙂
