2020-04-07 KARLSKIRCHE IN VIENNA
The Karlskirche in Vienna has been photographed thousands of times. Mostly with a tripod placed precisely in front of the church. I chose a different angle, slightly to the side with lighting in the foreground. As I often do with over-photographed sights.

2020-04-06 BUS IN BARCELONA
On the way to the Placa de la Universitat, I got scared. I was watching on my camera, as suddenly a bus came along the secondary lane. I stopped immediately and remembered the selfie shooters who got an accident because they were staring at their phones. I used the situation and was waiting for a second bus—this time with the camera at the ready.

2020-04-05 OUTDOOR SPORTS
Nowadays it got more difficult to do sports. Gyms closed, some take the dusty weight bench out of the basement others go running. Once a day, I catch some fresh air, and even at this time, you can shoot photos.

2020-04-04 PALACE IN AVIGNON
Take the visitor tour in the Palais des Papes; you will get a tablet with a navigation screen and a computer game to make the experience digital. The impressive rooms and halls are one of a kind. I often think of the architects and workers who built these buildings with simpler construction equipment compared to today.

2020-04-03 ROCKY BEACH IN MALTA
On the main island of Malta, you only have sandy beaches in the North. The highly populated cities like Valetta or Sliema offer only rocks for entry into the sea. Often you have ladders from iron and stone for a safe entry. No problem for me, it looks more wild and romantic with the jagged rocks.

One of the photos from my Tour de France. The journey was from Nantes to Nice by rental car along the west coast. I have seen a dozen of cities and the rural landscape. In a few years, I would like to take a tour from Nice to Paris along the east coast.

2020-03-30 MOROCCO ATLAS MOUNTAINS
Quite impressive, the higher Atlas mountains of Morocco. I think I was at the medium-altitude level, as high as the street from Imlil went. Not alpine climate but thinner air and snowy mountain slopes.

2020-03-29 LAST WEEKEND BEFORE THE LOCKDOWN
My wife Karin and I were in the “Schwarzes Kameel” for a later afternoon hangout. It was my last photo-session in a restaurant before the lockdown happened. Nowadays, I am out in nature, for pictures of my environment and the nearby forests, which I don’t pay enough attention to otherwise.
