2020-10-06 BRIDGE IN AUSTIN
In the photo, you can see the famous Bat Bridge in Austin. Allegedly millions of bats live under the bridge and start their night flight together at a specific time. This spectacle was, unfortunately, denied us. Nevertheless, I was able to immortalize some photos of the area.

2020-10-04 BUDAPEST CAFE
You feel more like Paris when you visit this cafe in Budapest. Two days of discovery in Budapest bring you many additional pages in your adventure manual and on the SD card in the camera.

2020-10-02 ON TOP OF THE GLACIER
On top of the Dachstein, you can visit an ice-cave with sculptures chiseled from bare ice. The temperature inside is way under 0 degrees celsius. My son took place on an ice-throne to take a rest. But I can promise, after 2 minutes, nearly everyone stands up because of the temperature.

2020-09-30 DRIVEWAY TO THE DACHSTEIN
When it comes to cable cars, I always think of the technical masterpiece of how it is possible to conquer the steep mountain slopes with a steel cable and carrying stands. The rides often offer spectacular views and unique opportunities to take photos.

The Stadtbahn (city train) has been replaced by the Metro U6 about 40 years ago. What remained are the Stadtbahnbögen (city train arcades), which now converts to many miles of bicycle shops, fitness centers, bars, and pubs.

2020-09-26 HAMBURG IN THE EVENING
My favorite activity in Hamburg, walking through the Speicherstadt. The brick buildings are so pleasant to watch, combined with the sinking sun and the lights on the street.

My wife Karin and I passed the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, where we were on the Buda-side. Then we came to the Hungarian National Museum. Inside we did a walkabout in the lobby and entry area where I could shoot this photo.

2020-09-23 BUDAPEST MUSEUM TOUR
First, I thought we were entering the Opera, but then it turned out to be a museum. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name. The impressive entrance area convinced us to pay a visit to the building. On the top floor, we could also enjoy a view of Budapest.

2020-09-22 ROUGH SEA IN SYLT
The concrete barriers create the necessary resistance against the stormy North Sea. This scene results in an excellent photo motif. The northern lights, the surf, and the fine beach are a perfect symbiosis on Sylt’s island.

2020-09-21 FRESH HERBS FOR THE HOTEL GUESTS
The Schatzalp Hotel in Davos has a special goodie for its guests. Fresh herbs from the in-house herb gardens. They have about a dozen herb gardens with hundreds of herbs; cleary signed and separated. This structure makes it easier for the kitchen assistant to find their way around. For the photo, I used the combination of the new Sony A7R IV with the older Leica Elmar 35-70 F4 R lens.
