2020-05-16 CHOLLA CACTUS GARDEN
One of my destinations in Joshua Tree National Park was the Cholla Cactus garden. The cacti look soft and fluffy. But that is deceptive; you shouldn’t touch them; otherwise, you will be blessed with dozens of small spikes in your skin.

Relaxing on the lawn, parking the bike, one of the many things I liked in Amsterdam. Visited a museum beforehand, then head for a Heineken beer. And all this is pleasant by bike.

2020-05-11 THE JAPANESE GARDEN IN DÖBLING
It’s like a Zen-experience walking through a Japanese garden—the typical plants combined with a little lake, a wooden bridge, and a Japanese tea house. I am lucky that my district Döbling, where I live in Vienna, has a Japanese garden which is open until 9 pm. The right time that you catch the blue hour for sure. The name of the garden is Setagayapark.

2020-05-08 PASSAGE IN THE FIRST DISTRICT
Since traveling is on hold, I take my pictures mostly in Vienna. It has hidden treasures for a photographer. Often I concentrate on the subtle motives compared to the spectacular sights; every tourist is photographing. One step back is sometimes more for photos.

2020-05-07 CHILD AND PIGEONS
Pigeons in Venice, the classic of my childhood memories. All the more, I was thrilled when I was able to take a picture of this child who is just scaring the pigeons and having a lot of fun with it.

2020-05-05 THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD
The road on the photo was shot in Joshua Tree National Park. A sensational landscape with some unique rocks, flowers, and cacti. You can there stay over the night with a camping bus or a tent. My wife Karin and I were there on a road trip. That’s why I captured my love for the streets on the photo.
