2019-07-14 BIKER IN BOLZANO
We came back from Merano by train. It was already evening when we went out of the railway station. On the way to the hotel, we were exploring the streets of Bolzano, where I shot the last photos, before going to bed after the 12-hour trip.

2019-07-13 NIGHTLY STREETS IN BARCELONA
Even in January, it had pleasant temperatures in the nighttime Barcelona. I had my mini tripod with me and was able to create new perspectives. At times you should leave the comfort zone and look for the proximity to the road. 🙂

2019-07-12 ESCAPE FROM THE RAIN
Sudden heavy rain drove us to the National Museum in Edinburgh. I was immediately fascinated by the extensive galleries and balconies. I placed myself in an upper floor, put the camera on the balcony railing and was thus able to photograph wide-angle shots. They show the impressive extent of the museum hall.

2019-07-11 BIRTHDAY OF MY WIFE
At my wife Karin’s birthday we visited the open-air roof-top bar of the Ritz Carlton in Vienna. After we sat down on the couch and ordered the drinks, it started to rain. We flew under some umbrellas, where a waiter suggested to change the location to the ground floor bar. The ambiance was very nice, and I used the situation to take out my Leica and made some birthday photos.

2019-07-09 A CATHEDRAL IN TOULOUSE
We lived on the pedestrian street and saw the cathedral above the rooftops in Toulouse. First, we had to overcome a construction site to get inside. The massive porticoes let me reach for my camera in amazement. I was reminded of the Tolkien films Lord of the Rings when I saw the columns and roofs.

2019-07-08 LAKE COMO
Como achieved fame through George Clooney’s residence in the area. Maybe that was the reason that my wife Karin suggested spending a few days in Como. After a 10-hour drive by car, we reached the city. The first evening we had to go for a walk on the lake promenade. There I was able to shoot photos of Lake Como in the evening colors.

2019-07-06 BAR IN SAN FRANCISCO
The rooftop bar at the Hilton in San Francisco is a top location. Full-size windows give you a view from the bottom of the floor to the roof where you can see the whole city in front of you. There you get the cosmopolitan feeling of megacities when looking at the sea of lights.

2019-07-05 LAGO MAGGIORE SWITZERLAND
A Swiss lake stretching from Ticino to Italy. I did the tour from Ascona across the Italian border with an e-bike. It was a 20-kilometer drive that I used for a swim in the lake and was able to shoot some photos — an impressive landscape, between the foothills of the Swiss mountains merging into the warm Mediterranean landscape.

2019-07-04 STREETS OF PRAGUE AERIAL
Prague is a historical city in the heart of Europe. From the Zizkov TV tower, you have a great view and the opportunity to photograph the city from above. Especially where it is difficult and usually forbidden to fly in densely populated areas with drones. Thus, a good substitute.
