Vienna

On a Saturday morning, I paid a visit to the Schlumberger Kellerwelten. Dozens of vaulted cellars, built with hundreds of thousands of bricks, are the storage location for tens of thousands of sparkling wine and wine bottles. At the exit, you get some samples of excellent wines.

I like the color film setting on the Leica M240 more and more. It creates a mood like a painted picture. Simple street scenes are abstracted and appear in new splendor. The photo shows the Kohlmarkt in Vienna.

The photo would be the perfect introduction to a mystery thriller—a secret entrance to an unknown portico that men in black suits visit. A screenwriter could spin an exciting story from a secret society to an economic conspiracy.

From time to time, I am out with my wife Karin for a photo shooting. I prefer the Ringstrasse. A three- to a four-lane street which makes a circle around the first district of Vienna. Additionally, there is a bike and walking lane embedded between trees.

My son Maro is standing in front of the historic Gartenbau cinema, which always showed all blockbusters first. Now the cinema is getting on in years and is undergoing a general renovation. I’m looking forward to the reopening with the movies The Godfather part 1-3 in one day, 9 hours cinema in a row. 🙂

My second photo from the park between the Art Museum and Natural Museum in Vienna. It takes a lot of patience and skill to cut the shrubs into these shapes. It is a pleasure to look again and again and marvel at the geometry.

A park separates the art history and natural history museums in Vienna. There are meticulously cut bushes in round and conical shapes. The park is also famous for running.

The church “Kirche am Steinhof” dedicated to Saint Leopold was built between 1903 and 1907 by the 63-year-old architect Otto Wagner, with mosaics and stained glass by Koloman Moser, and sculptural angels by Othmar Schimkowitz. An impressive piece of art and architecture.

Last Sunday, I hiked through the Viennese vineyards with my wife, Karin. The wine taverns in the area get their wine from there. At the same time, you get a spacious view of the city with the grapevines in the foreground.

The Hotel Sacher in Vienna was also hit hard by the lockdown. The home of the Sachertorte(Sacher-cake) has been shut down in emergency mode. Tourism should start again in mid-May.
