2019-02-25 WHILE WAITING FOR THE CABLE CAR

After coming back from Sausalito, we decided to take the cable car for the drive to Market Street. Since there was a long line, I took the camera and did shots of the closer environment. This is one of the reasons, why a smartphone is not enough. If you cannot leave your place and are shooting photos, you have to use the zoom of your lens. For post-processing I added Orton Effect to get a dreamy look.

2019-02-24 THE ITALIAN BAR

I love Italian Bars. The Campari bottles on the glass shelves, the Averna bottle beneath the Amaro bottle, the Espresso machines. The display cases with Tramezzini, the bartenders with their Italian style. The interior consists of brass covers and wood, where the ravages of time have taken their toll. You get the right size for the glass of bitter liqueur, not too small and too lean, as you often get served in the rest of Europe. Here in Venice they know it.

2019-02-23 GOOD AFTERNOON IN LONDON

The photo comes from a one-day trip to London. The morning flight from Vienna was at about 6 am the evening flight at 8 pm. You cannot imagine what you can see on one day. From the Andreas Gursky exhibition in the Hayward Gallery to China town, a park, some bridges over the river Themes, Paddington, Little Venice, and Kensington. A full day tour with many memorable moments for the flight home. 🙂

2019-02-22  TOWER WITHIN THE TOWER

One cool model of the Zizkov Television Tower displayed on the viewing area at an altitude of 93 meters. Designed and built in the communist-era it represents a unique jewel, compared to the many television towers with the straight concrete building and dozens of antennas a satellite dishes on the top. The elevator brings you up with 4m/s. My wife Karin and I were there at 11 am, very few people, and we got a broad panoramic view of Prague.

2019-02-21  TREE OF LIFE

The size of this tree took a lifetime to grow. The castle park Laxenburg is a destination in the south of Vienna. Most suitable for a Sunday walk with wife and daughter. Small ponds, old bridges, and tall trees make for a beautiful nature experience. To shorten the way you can also jump on a tuk-tuk train.

2019-02-20  GALLERIA VITTORIO EMANUELE II

The hot spot of Milano is beneath the Piazza del Duomo. At the entrance lies the Campari bar. That’s a good starting point, to drink a Campari Soda with ice and then take the tour. To avoid too many people I shot that “high-floor” photo with the middle layer of the building and above. One of the over-photographed buildings on the web, so it’s a good idea to search after new compositions.

2019-02-19  BAZAAR IN JERUSALEM

The big bazaar in Jerusalem is a unique world for itself. With a high diversity of booths from clothing to toys it’s a showcase and brings you some buying opportunities. I bought a strong coffee, with the coffee grounds on the bottom. After drinking I stayed awake half the night, but that was fitting, because I had a several hours drive in front of me.

2019-02-17  THE BEAUTIFUL GARDENS

Merano with its Trauttmannsdorf Castle and the beautiful gardens are the top attraction of the city. Since it’s a bit outside, best to get there is with an E-bike. My wife Karin and I have rented the bikes at the railway station. The good thing was that with the Bolzano-card the train between Merano and Bolzano is free. With air condition and wifi in the wagons, I can highest recommend Trenitalia.

2019-02-16  HONG KONG PIZZERIA

Some pizza in Hong Kong? The diversity of food corresponds to the variety of little restaurants along the streets. I stayed with Asian food. Since I live relatively near to Italy, I can get pizza more often anyway. 🙂

2019-02-15  QUTB MINAR

The tower from 1192. A one-of-a-kind building, built from thousands of individual bricks and stones. I would have liked to step up the 73 meters, but entry was not allowed. Each of its blocks has unique ornaments, the whole complex houses similar buildings, built from the same materials, but not this height. On the entry, there have been straying dogs, which were resting in brown puddles of water.
