The girl styled according to a Japanese fashion style was fitting among the cherry trees. Since I was on the other side of the pond, I had to take pictures with full zoom. It’s good that I had my Tamron 28-75 FE with me. All shot in Setagaya park, the Japanese garden in Vienna.

On this Sunday afternoon excursion, we didn’t just stick to the sidewalks. We went cross-country through the forest, between the trees on leaves and over branches.

After my wife and I visited my son, we wanted to get some fresh air in the area. We went into the blind alley where the Strudlhofstiege lies. I’ve always wanted to photograph it at night. This time I was able to strike with my Sony A7R IV.
