2018-07-13 TREES IN SAN FRANCISO
This walking path is near the coast, west of the Golden Gate Bridge. I liked the trees with the jagged treetops; they gave a wild-romantic flair. We walked for about an hour on that pathway, where we got some spectacular views of the sea and the hills and landscape in the direction of Sausalito.

2018-07-12 INSIDE A MOSQUE IN ABU DHABI
It even impressed to watch the Sheikh Zayed Mosque from the inside. An artwork of gigantic proportions, a dream for shooting photos. There was no hindering, taking pictures, walking around, exploring, I think I was there for about 4 hours. I discovered the blue hour, the golden hour and the dimming of the night.

2018-07-10 PIAZZA SAN MARCO IN THE NIGHT
I made a late night photo tour at Piazza San Marco and its surroundings. In the meantime, my wife and friends were sitting in an Italian bar and were drinking an Averna with ice and lemon slice. But I could not let slip the opportunities to take photos of Venice in the night. Mainly when I’m alone, I could use my tripod without any pressure to move on. However, in the end, I had my photos and attended the bar for a round of drinks.

2018-07-09 VALLEY AND THE DOLOMITES
Taking the uphill road to 2990 meters to the parking place of the Three Peaks brings you to the starting point of an impressive mountain panorama. Choose the direction to the Three Peaks, and you will get this view which is a spectacular photo motive. I shot this photo during a light rain, but no problem with the waterproof Fuji X-T1.

2018-07-08 DUBAI WATER SHOW
Since I was visiting the Burj Khalifa before, I was in a hurry to reach the water show at the right time. After entering the ground floor, you need an additional 20 minutes to get out of the tower and position at the best spots for your photo journey. In the end, it worked out on the minute, and I could place my desired photo shots.

2018-07-07 STAIRWAY IN CHAMPAGNE CELLAR
The photo shows a stairway up to more cellars in the Schlumberger cellar-exhibition in Vienna. There are dozens of vaults with millions of bricks. I recommend a visit during the summer months; it’s refreshingly cool inside.

2018-07-06 NIGHTLY STREET IN SINGAPORE
I do this in every city. Shooting streets in the night from a bridge, where the cars are approaching, and a dark sky tints the scenery. The different lights form the cars, street lamps, and industrial buildings, that’s urbanity, the atmosphere for electro-pop sound. Then I think of the German electronic band Kraftwerk with their song “Metropolis.”

2018-07-04 DOORS IN THE OLD TOWN OF COMO
This photo shows the view from inside the mansion where we had our room. The old town has narrow alleys, with a width for one car only driving one-way direction. The streets are cobbled in an Italian style, a beautiful area for walking around and taking espresso-shots or sitting in a restaurant and eating pizza with an Aperol Spritz.

2018-07-02 MARKET PLACE IN COMO
From time to time I want to shoot with older cameras. For this photo, I used the Panasonic FX-150 which has a Leica lens, 14.8 megapixel, a CCD sensor and costs about $ 40 at eBay. I placed it on a table in a bar and took some evening shots. It’s always interesting to see how this older technic works out. After shooting, I got an Averna with ice and lemon slice, my favorite aperitif.

2018-07-01 STAIRWAY TO THE FIRST FLOOR
In which castle or magnificent building are we? No castle :-), it’s the stairway to the first floor of the Apple Store in Singapore. It represents the artful thinking and the commitment to design and details at Apple.
