This spa hotel is embedded between rocks and conifer forests. For those who are looking for rest and silence far away from bigger cities and traffic, that’s the right place.
I didn’t stay there, visited the lobby only… From this angle, it was a good test for my DJI Phantom 4 Pro 🙂

This is a bridge of the famous Ghega mountain railway over the Semmering, which was the first of its kind in the world. Planned by Carl von Ghega and built in 1854 it even exists today and is in full operation. A real highlight between the mountains and the snowy woods.

I liked this boutique with that guy sitting on his place and looking around 🙂 maybe it’s better marketing to bring in such art-accessories to attract more customers …

Winter sports in the night get more and more attraction, nearly every ski resort has a lighted piste. Also curling, sledding and ice skating are popular in the late hours. That’s good for photographers, the pistes look pretty cool during the night with the light between the woods and the snow which gets colorful textures. This shot I got by accident, I went out of an apres-ski bar and spotted this mountain with the lighted pistes, since I was far away I took my Sony A6000 and Sony Zeiss FE 55 1.8 which became a 70mm lens with the APS-C camera, that was enough to get a good composition.

This photo was shot at a cold and windy winter day in Styria, the Green Heart of Austria. The trees had no leaves, the sky was grey/white with no sun, the meadow in a kind of winter sleep … A good day for tanking fresh air…

Some days ago I was driving with my car on a road which was embedded between fields as far as the eyes can reach. It was really cold, about -14 degrees C (about 7 degrees Fahrenheit). The earth was completely frozen, hard as a rock. And I thought that the sun had some effort to rise, because at about 8 am I got this picture with the rising sun 🙂
Velden am Wörthersee is one of the most famous summer holiday destinations in Austria (though I visited in the winter). The Wörthersee lake is very clean, you could even drink the water. The architecture of this little town has some really nice buildings with turrets, gables, balconies and special roof tiles.
The long awaited snow is back, ski slopes get more and more visitors, and the apres-ski bars are filled from early in the afternoon. The season is in full swing 🙂
The “High Wall” is a mountain-plateau where you have to be very careful with the observation areas. There’s no fence or warning sign, you go ahead and immediately you stand before a 100 meter scarp. The rocks are straight down, better to be free from giddiness. 🙂 This photo was taken some meters away from the big scarp, showing the whole valley among the “High Wall”.
Sometimes the occasion for a walk in the nature arises on a Sunday afternoon. The minimum technical gear I have with me is the iPhone, which often leads to photos of my walking destinations.
