2018-12-22   GALERY OF THE GLORIETTE

The Gloriette is a unique building with galleries on both sides and a little hall in the middle. It lies on a hill, on the opposite side of Schönbrunn Palace. The freshly renovated building is a touristic hot spot. I shot the photo from a not common angle. Therefore it shows a different perspective compared to the hundreds of already existing pictures from the Internet.

2018-12-21   WINTERWONDERLAND

The unexpected events often provide the most lasting memories. That was the case when visiting the adventure gardens in Langenlois, Lower Austria. We had an appointment for supper at 18 o’clock. Since we had 3 hours left, my wife went to nearby attractions. The Kittenberger adventure gardens turned out to be a winter wonderland. Fountains shone in bright, colorful light, garlands and fairy lights adorning the trees and shrubs. My Sony A7S got hot, from the many photos.

2018-12-20   SILENCE OF THE NIGHT

The two-day congress in Munich’s ICM was over; we were walking to the bus. I stopped and made photos of the modern architecture, with the warm lights in the nightly, dark sky. Such images remind me of electro-pop albums; the synthesizer sounds harmonize with the architecture.

2018-12-19   ICE COLD ICE

On the top of the glacier Dachstein, I visited an ice-tunnel exhibition. Some artists have made ice-sculptures with chainsaws, hammer, and chisel. The ice gets illuminated from different angles, with changing lights and intensity. Walking through this tunnel brings you into a dream world of ice and winter temperatures. For the sports enthusiasts, there are many ski lifts on the mountain.

2018-12-17   BORDER BETWEEN MALAYSIA AND THAILAND

I did that shot from a driving motorboat in the direction of Thailand. Was this little island already on the Thailand-side? Does it belong to the islands of Langkawi? However, the photo shows the border on the Andaman Sea. It was beautiful, to see the sharp cliffs and dispersed islands of this area.

2018-12-16   AIRPORT ART IN SINGAPORE CHANGI

Even we were a bit late and were fastly going forward to the aperture gates; I stopped at that art installation. Those copper-metal drops changed direction in wavelike forms and positioned itself in new ways with every iteration. For the photo, I waited for the decisive moment. I intended to get as many drops as possible on the picture. Then I had to pack my camera back. My wife was a bit angry; she wouldn’t have waited any longer.

2018-12-15   MOUNTAIN TOP SCHAFBERG

The Schafberg in Upper Austria, standing on a mountaintop with a 360-degree view of valleys, lakes and the Alps gives you the feeling of being free. For exploring the mountain chain, my wife and I walked through a mountain pine forest, with men-high plants and arrived at a steep slope of hundreds of meters height.  Looking down gives you the feel of tingle under the skin, better to hold a respectful distance. My position was perfect for taking a photo of the abstract rocks. As the background, the horizon of the deeper valleys appear.

2018-12-14   SQUARE IN NANTES

I was searching after the “Jules Verne”-wall in Nantes when I entered that large square. I put the Samyang 14mm lens on my Sony A7R II and shot a wide angle photo with the square and some passengers in the foreground and the houses-front in the backend.

2018-12-13   VALLEY IN THE CANTON TICINO

My wife and I stayed a few days a the Lago Maggiore. One afternoon we took a trip to the backland of the Ticino. We arrived at a dam, where I shot that photo. I tried to catch the depth and height of this monument. I leaned a bit forward, but was completely safe, standing with both feet on the ground. 🙂
