2018-06-04 UPSTAIRS MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
Visiting the Museum of Natural History in Vienna (Naturhistorisches Museum Wien) brings you vast photo opportunities. The building and interiors are built like a castle, marble ornaments, and many artfully created sculptures, big arcs, and pillars.

2018-05-17 ROOFS OF A CHURCH IN CARINTHIA
My wife Karin and I were on a Quad tour where we could drive on hilly streets and farm lanes. It was kind of fun, and from time to time we stopped and I was on the way to shoot some photos. I saw that church with the intricated roofs which give a not commonplace view and picture.

2018-04-24 SPRING IN THE SCHÖNBRUNN GARDENS
More and more people gather in the cafes and restaurants of the Schönbrunn Gardens. The spring season has arrived, you feel it when the trees and plants blossom and the weather gets warmer, and you can store your winter jacket at home for the months to come. I recommend the walking tour from Schönbrunn Zoo to Schönbrunn Castle and uphill to the Gloriette, which brings you a bright view over the city. This tour belongs to the top 10 attractions to do in Vienna. I had my little Nikon Coolpix A with me, the APS-C marvel.

2018-04-22 NEW YORK WEST SIDE
Standing on the Rockefeller observation deck, I made shots in all four cardinal directions. I wanted to have New York shots without the Empire State Building also because New York offers excellent views wherever your glimpse lands. I shot The photo in this post without a tripod and higher iso, which is sufficient for many darker shots, mainly if there is strong crowding on the deck.

2018-04-07 TOWER IN AMSTERDAM
Amsterdam, the bicycle city, with skewed houses, the canals, the bridges and the coffee shops. I would recommend renting a bike then you can plunge more in-depth into the Amsterdamer street life. You’ll profit from the many bicycle-highways, the faster arrival at the sights and the joy of doing exercise in fresh air. If you stop for a coffee or cold drink, don’t forget the bike lock, you’ll find it on any parked bike, often it’s built from solid iron-chains.

2018-04-04 INSIDE A HOTEL IN PRAGUE
Prague is a city with unique characters, have a look at the bridges, streets, buildings, and hotels. A picturesque scenery, where you won’t give your camera out of hand. I took this photo on the first floor of the Hotel Imperial, the levels have thick carpets, the doors to the room and the door-frames consist of massive wood. Windows are in art nouveau – style.

I was happy with my hotel stay in Istanbul. Near the Hagia Sofia, in the old town, only a walking distance to many attractions. A perfect fit for my family and me. Always I shoot photos of the interior and the corridors of the hotels, where I stay. Like this new, chrome hallway.

Beneath the Swiss cheese and Swiss chocolate, I found many of the houses and buildings in Switzerland have a unique style. Clean lines, unobtrusive adornments, a timeless overall architectural impression.

It’s a good idea to visit Venice in January. The weather is ok for sightseeing, and the best, the long lines at the entrances of the famous sights are much shorter. For going up to St. Mark’s Campanile I had to wait only about 15 minutes. On the top, you have a great view of Venice in all four cardinal directions. The weather was not sunny at all, slightly grey and rainy, but it didn’t stop me from taking photos of the roofs and buildings of this great city.

Waiting for the reservation, … The Dome in Edinburgh is a restaurant, cafe, and bar. An artfully decorated building out- and inside. It’s a tourist hotspot, what is a “good” thing in that case. Shooting pictures is welcomed, nobody is bothered by it. Patience is required, to get the right people on your photo. 🙂
