The last Austrian emperor died in 1916, during the first world war. In the Albertina, you can see some of his rooms, how he lived, with accessories and furniture. You get a bit back in history and a touch of the life of bygone eras.

I was astonished about the great pictures at the exhibition “WATER” of environmental/landscape photographer Edward Burtynsky. Most of them were shot with helicopters or drones; many look like painted. From the Gulf of Mexico to a dam in China, from hot springs in Iceland to agriculture in Spain, from irrigation in Texas to rice fields in China, a view of the world and environment from above.

They have cardboards on the street, that’s all, the breakdancers need for an exciting performance. They present their show with high speed and acrobatic figures, pirouettes of all kind, back-flip, and a quick turn of the whole body while standing solely on the head. Mostly they are younger of age, with light weighted bodies.

New marketing gag from street musicians? 🙂 With that style, you will get more attention for sure. With the little drawback, that it gets gradually hot under the mask. From me, he got some Euros for this witty outfit.

I practice two sports regularly; one is working out in the fitness center, the other is Nordic Walking in nature. The first one gives you power and strength, and the second one gives you endurance and fresh air. And beautiful impressions of woods and trees, if you choose this path.

Sofitel is one of the newer, stylish hotels in Vienna, and it lies near the Danube canal and the first district. In this building complex, you can also find furniture stores and a steakhouse on the ground floor. If you are in Vienna, it’s worth a visit 🙂

While my daughter was on the ice skating ground I took some photos of the skaters and the area. It was before noon, the sun already warmed this winter day. I had a set of prime lenses with me. This photo was taken with the Sony Distagon T* 24mm F” SSM and the Sony LA-EA3 adapter which works great with the Sony A7R II.

Sometimes you have to go higher to get the shot you want, as here with the Danube City in the night. I was on the Leopoldsberg a mountain with an older castle which is not open to the public, because it’s a bit too derelict. But there is a great observation deck where you get a view over Vienna and enough place for a tripod 🙂

In Vienna in front of the city hall and the adjacent park you get two ice skating grounds which are connected via “ice streets” and offer a great area for the skaters. Best time is before noon because in the afternoon it’s very crowded and you have to practice braking and eluding more often 🙂

As this weather front came over to me, I knew that it was time to take the last photos and then pack the equipment because hard rain would follow soon. And the sun disappeared completely after few minutes and I felt the first drops …
