Gustav Klimt’s pictures hang inside the Belvedere Palace. There are beautiful baroque gardens in front of the building, guarded by two statues at the entrance—an excellent place for an autumn walk.

2021-09-26 BIKER ON A HOT AFTERNOON
I often try to abstract the photos from the classic point of view and immerse them in a new light. With shadows, colors, and movement, images are created that stand out from standard photos. It is essential to be aware of the large number of cellphone photos that are taken every day.

2021-09-12 RUNNING IN THE PARK
The Türkenschanzpark is a famous running track for the Viennese in the 19th district. The park’s name comes from the Turkish sieges; at this point, the Viennese troops repulsed the attack, and the Turks then had to withdraw. My wife Karin is the active runner in the photo.

2021-09-08 THE GARDEN OF THE BELVEDERE PALACE
Extensive gardens surround the Belvedere Palace. This spacious garden in Schönbrunn style extends into the 3rd district of Vienna. The castle lies backward and is surrounded on the opposite side by a garden with a pond. A good location for a 2-3 hour photo session. A joy shooting such photos with the Leica M10.

2021-07-18 READY FOR SOME CHAMPAGNE
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.

2021-07-06 THE CROWD ON THE STREET
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.

2021-06-27 THE HIDDEN ENTRY
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.

2021-06-24 MY WIFE ON THE RINGSTRASSE
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.
