2021-04-02 BURGER BAR IN BARCELONA
I didn’t visit this burger bar because I had an invitation to the Hard Rock Cafe. I used half an hour of free time to do a photo tour. Barcelona, in particular, offers a variety of small pubs and shops that are good for snapshots.

2021-03-30 FIREFIGHTER IN VENICE
It is not difficult to guess that the fire brigade in Venice is also on boats. On the opening day of the carnival, the fire brigade boats drove down the canal to check that everything was going well before the event.

2021-03-27 BLACK AND WHITE WITH AN €30 CAMERA
At times I set myself the task of taking night photos with an inexpensive point-and-shoot camera. In Como, I had the 12-year-old Panasonic DMC-FX 150 with me. I was able to buy it on eBay for € 30. The great thing is it has built-in a Leica Vario-Elmarit lens. The exciting thing about the task is to try to get the best out of the existing possibilities.

2021-03-26 GREEK PARLIAMENT
At times I am skeptical when looking for recommended attractions in a city. The changing of the guard from the Greek Parliament is a great event. The line-up of the guards and the synchronized movements is an exciting spectacle. I was lucky enough to be there at dusk and benefited from the special light.

2021-03-24 BREATHING SOME FRESH AIR
I wondered whether the trees were set so densely or whether it was a natural growth. The Vienna Woods is a popular excursion destination in north-east Vienna with a large variety of trees.

2021-03-23 WAITING FOR MARIOS
I waited for my colleague Marios at Syntagma Square. There was little traffic due to the lockdown. So I got to the meeting point 20 minutes earlier. I used that to take pictures of the area, like here the way across Syntagma Square.

2021-03-22 PALMENHAUS VIENNA
The name Palmenhaus (Palm House) comes from the exotic palms placed in the heated indoor halls. The construction of the glasshouse is full metal with glass windows and iron bridges and viaducts inside. For the photo, I used my Leica M10 as a DSLR. With the Leica R to M adapter and the Leica Vario Elmar 35-70 F4 lens, you have a telephoto glass on a Leica M. Though you cannot use the rangefinder because you have to use focus peaking.

2021-03-21 THE WILD DOLOMITES
The Dolomites are a wild mountain range, jagged rocks, and raw stone dominate. I shot this photo on the way to the “Tre Cime di Lavaredo.” A drizzle had already started; we weren’t put off and could still fill our photo album.
