2017-10-08  HOUSES IN AMSTERDAM

Port of Amsterdam

In the port of Amsterdam
There’s a sailor who sings
Of the dreams that he brings
From the wide open sea
In the port of Amsterdam
There’s a sailor who sleeps
While the river bank weeps
To the old willow tree

➡ © song by David Bowie.

Why are the houses in Amsterdam so narrow? And relatively high? Those are tax reasons, in former time the residents had to pay taxes on the ground before the house, the smaller the field, the fewer taxes were to pay. 🙂

2017-10-07  FLAT BUILDING

The style of white, reduced houses, flat roof, clear lines, shot on autumn days. If I see such photos, I think about album covers of electronic music bands, like Kraftwerk, Air, Klaus Schulze. Then walking around with earphones and playing that music, with a grey sky and taking photos. A cool autumn day. 😎

2017-10-06  HORSES IN A CURCH

Venice, one of a kind in the world. In some parts of the city, each building, street, lantern, and canal are worth to stop, to look, to explore, to take photos. I entered Basilica di San Marco and been blown away, a never-ending, amazing, holy, impression art gallery. One of the wonders of the world !! On the upper floor, I saw those copper-brass-horses, built in lifesize.  😎

2017-10-05  EXPLORING TOKYO

The many subways metro stations in Tokyo can be confusing. I used my Apple Watch for navigating through the levels and direction signs. It did great work, I got a vibration for the turns, the exact meters to go straight ahead and subway names displayed in their original colors on the watch. 🙂

2017-10-04  BEACH BAR AT THE LAKE NEUSIEDL

One of the last warm days, before cold autumn days, prevail. The beach bar “Fritz” in Weiden at the lake has a nice restaurant and an open-air bar. It’s only one hour from Vienna, great for a Sunday afternoon trip. For the winter months, they have prepared radiant heaters, so that you are okay with your cocktails and snacks.

2017-10-03  GALLERY IN THE NIGHT

On a mild summer evening,  I was walking through a village called “Pörtschach at the Wörthersee.” It’s a kind of summer vacation destination, with a beautiful lake promenade. The Wörthersee is clear, with drinking water quality. The warm breeze let me have an Aperol Sprizz at a bar, and on my way to the car, I saw that gallery which was worth a photo shot. 🙂

2017-10-02  MALTA RESTAURANT AT THE BEACH

Sitting in the shadow of a beautiful restaurant and looking at the beach, for many the ideal holiday dream. Since I am not the beach guy, I was there only one day shooting some photos. Malta is not well stocked with beaches; you have to drive to the north of the island.

2017-10-01  GARDENS BY THE BAY IN THE NIGHT

Singapur, “the Switzerland of the tropics” impressed me with the Gardens by the Bay; the park consists of three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden, and Bay Central Garden. For the best view, you have to visit the Marina Bay Sands hotel; there is an escalator to the sixth floor where there is a bridge to an observation deck where you get a great view. It’s free of charge 🙂 , also walking through the gardens is free! The area looks like a miracle of plants and lights. Highly recommended!!

2017-09-30  OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

Hey lady, you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough
Oh darling, darling, darling
Walk a while with me
Ohh, you’ve got so much, so much, so much   © song by Led Zeppelin

2017-09-29  SHIP UNDER RAINBOW BRIDGE

I was the only photographer standing under Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo. The height and size of this bridge are unbelievable; it hosts car lanes and train lines, is built mostly from iron. The main span between the piers is 580m (2,618 ft).
