How to differentiate from the thousands of Golden Gate Bridge – pictures? I had the luck and patience to see some shipping at the bridge. My friends had to wait a bit. I was eager for shooting the photo. Then we could continue with our goal, to cross the bridge with E-bikes and then drive to Sausalito.

“Vienna Coffee World” – an exhibition entirely dedicated to coffee roasters, coffee machines, and accessories. I got a speed kick; you get coffee for tasting at each corner. A pimped up with version, with Licor 47, espresso and ice was great. The cook on the photo served sweet snacks for the coffee lovers. I could shoot some discreet pictures with my Leica X Vario.

After a more extended walking trip on the hard pavements, we decided to take a Red-Bus to make exploring the city more relaxing. I had the right place a the edge, positioning me for the exposures. This photo I converted to black and white with Silver Efex Pro two times.

Wandering through the streets was my favorite hobby in Tokyo. The smaller lanes were more diversified. You could see dozens of little shops and kiosks on both sides of the road, from candy stores to electronic shops, from sushi restaurants to boutiques. Often you got new surprises on each corner. The dress of the girl suited well to the colorful interior of the store.

My first journey to South Tyrol brought me to Bolzano, Cortina d’Ampezzo and Merano. Although it belongs to Italy for more than 60 years now, most of the people speak fluent German. Many road signs are in Italian and German; I think the autonomous status exists since 1972.

On the way to the Atlantic coast, my wife and I turned for a break. The next town was Pons. It lies on a higher hill with some historic buildings on its main square, surrounded by a park landscape. Nearby was a butcher, where we got ham and quiche, a tasty lunch.

I was sitting in the Liliput-Bahn, a narrow gauge railway with neat wagons and a little steam locomotive. It is a sightseeing train for tourists in the Donaupark. Since I was waiting for my wife, I drove around and was shooting photos — an excellent opportunity to be inconspicuous.

Mumok is a museum with experimental art and modern design located at the Ringstraße in Vienna. Often I like the interior architecture more von the exhibits. To catch the whole scene and bring the dimension I used a wide angle lens.

Qumran is the home of the famous “Dead Sea Scrolls”. Though most of the original buildings are only fragments now, it was interesting to think about the history and the life of the Essenes. The landscape reminded me of the “Riders of the lost Arks”-movies and welcomed me to shoot photos of these unique rocks and hills.
