2019-11-06 ALLEY IN JERUSALEM
Is Jerusalem the most exciting city in the world? I think so, walking around in the city, then you often believe that you are in a different world. The buildings, religions, history, and traffic merge for impressions you will never forget.

2019-11-05 THE FRENCH CHATEAU
When I was in the Medoc with my wife Karin, the daily tour was driving from Chateau to Chateau and shooting photos. A unique experience was seeing the extensive wine gardens where the Bordeaux wine grows. Every few kilometers, one Chateau follows after the other. Some offer wine tasting, those I liked most. 🙂

2019-11-04 MY DAUGHTER’S BIRTHDAY
The family was sitting in the Restaurant Plachutta. After order, before the food arrived, I was ready to take some birthday photos from my daughter Cara. Not the best light, but with the lens fully open and adjusted ISO no problem at all.

2019-11-03 FOLK MUSIC
Different countries, different folk music. I attended with my wife and friends the pumpkin festival in Zellerndorf. The village lies in the rural region of Lower Austria. We were sitting with a marinated pork roast sandwich and a sparkling Rose Prosecco at a wine cellar. Behind me, the musicians started with their performance — the right time to bring out my Leica X Vario and take some photos of the concert.

2019-11-01 BRIDGES IN AMSTERDAM
What do you love most in Amsterdam? The bridges and canals are in the top five of nearly every visitor, I think. They are so unique and in the best harmony with the houses and the bikers. It’s a good idea to switch back a few gears when you are approaching the bridge; otherwise, you can fast be stuck on your bike, if it’s too heavy with pedaling.

2019-10-31 EXHIBITION ROOM IN THE GETTY MUSEUM
The biggest exhibition of the Roman Empire I have ever seen. The exhibits are in the best conditions; the presentation is top. The whole building was rebuilt with Roman architecture as a role model. Don’t miss it, when you are in LA.

2019-10-30 WAITING FOR THE BATS IN AUSTIN
It was already after 7:30 pm, the predicted time for the bats to start flying. I waited half an hour long and used the time to take sunset photos under the bridge. I saw only a handful of bats; however, very nice to watch. But the invasion with the launch of hundreds of thousands of bats has failed this day.

2019-10-29 THE COLORS OF LAS VEGAS
The excitement of Las Vegas really turns out in the night. Lights and colors shine and the city gets its beautiful glow. I was standing on one of the bridges which span the two lanes of the strip.

2019-10-28 WE WANT TO REACH THE GOAL
When hiking, it is very helpful to note the signs. A detour can extend over several kilometers, and then the return journey could be very tedious. Especially if you are already in the dark. I’ve already experienced myself and have just made it to the valley.

2019-10-27 SOME DRINKS IN ASCONA
Since my wife worked in Switzerland during her gastronomy training for one year, twenty years ago, we decided to revisit Switzerland. The journey brought us from Chur, where she worked back then, to Ascona in Ticino. At a bar, we had a Hugo Cocktail, where my focusing was merely on the glasses. 🙂
