This bathing resort in Pörtschach am Wörther See has it all. Green meadows for the deck chairs, drinking water quality of the lake, wooden jetties, slides for the young and young at heart, 🙂 a cafe with cold wheat beer. And in the early evening the right place for a photo session.

This magnificent exhibition started indoor, with dark rooms and the illuminated plants, meadows, flowers, shrubs, all made of colored glass. I had only my iPhone with me, with just 20% battery power left. First I discovered all the rooms and the outdoor area to calculate how to proceed with taking the photos before my phone gives up. In the end, I got three dozens shot with all areas covered. 🙂

Driving with the Hippie Volkswagen-Bus to the coastline of San Francisco stopped immediately at that roadblock. The police were very strict, so we had to look after a parking lot and go all the way down to the coastline. But we were in walking mood anyway, so we added that distance to our planned coast walk at the sea. 🙂

The Trey Ratcliff Photo-Walk brought us into the park between the Natural History Museum and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. There was that street musician saxophone player. Within minutes he was the victim of a photographer mob where everyone tried to capture “street-musician-shots.” But he stayed pretty calm and continued with his performance. 🙂

At the Vienna State Opera, there are two wells, one on the left and the other on the right side. I have chosen the left one, which represents joy, dance, and levity, to remain on the positive side. 🙂 The right one shows grief, love, and vengeance.

Beach at Langkawi, an island in the Andaman Sea. Most parts of the island consist of a rainforest; the humidity is high. In the northern part, you get picture-postcard photos of the beach. The infrastructure is excellent, airport, streets and, most important, fast internet on the whole island. 🙂 Great nature – easy to explore.

From my hotel room, I had that great view to the “Arc de Triomphe.” I placed my tripod in the room, turned off all lights to prevent mirroring and then shot through the glass window. On the next day, I discovered the building, and there I saw that it was an office building with windows and space on the inner surface. 🙂 One more of the versatile constructions in Dubai.

Standing at a wine feast on the Vienna town hall place, drinking a glass of Chardonnay, suddenly the sky darkened and some grey, heavy clouds filled the whole area. The sun had to gather all its power, to break through again. At this moment I took my Sony A7S and did that shot. 🙂

Beneath the artful mosaics and the beautiful lightings, all mosques I have seen are carpeted. These are enormous carpets; there must have been endless hours of knotting for manufacture. It gives a good feel, to walk on those carpets, warm and pleasant. One of the many fascinating things, you see in a mosque.

I can remember that my grandmother had a similar water well. As I was a child, I had to pump the lever three to four times, then the pressure increased and with the next pumps, water was draining out of the faucet. Then I had to fill the water into buckets and pour the vegetable beds. Nowadays most of those wells are only relicts of older times and are used as decoration or get destructed by rust and weathering.
