2017-09-25  LUSTER IN GENOVA

Walking along Le Strade Nuove let me going into every second building. I was shooting the great galleries and balconies of these unique buildings, where many are a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. I saw that great festive hall which changed colors every 10 seconds on the first floor since the entry was forbidden and secured with a barrier, I was fast with the shooting to capture that great ceiling with those big chandeliers.

2017-09-24  ACTION AT THE PHOTO WALK

What happens at a photo walk? The organizer, in that case, Trey Ratcliff in Vienna, gives an introductory speech, then the whole crowd attends the walk to some sights or interesting photo places. At the picture point, Trey sets his tripod, offers some tips and his aims for taking that photo, and the whole bunch of fellow photographers starts shooting, trying to realize the tips they heard for their shootings. 🙂

2017-09-23  SHIP IN STOCKHOLM

Parts of the sea and canals are very well integrated into Stockholm. The Stockholm Pass had a cruising session combined, I attended and was soon on an excursion boat. For taking photos, I had to go outside, on the back deck, because I wanted to prevent to shoot through dirty windows. In the back, space was limited, because the whole crowd wanted to take photos, mostly with smartphones. I had to stand up from time to time, to occupy the space I needed for taking the pictures I want. 🙂

2017-09-22  NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM

It was not really night, but later afternoon in the NY Museum of Natural History. Standing on the gallery I shot that photo of the famous elephants in that big museum hall. Walking through the exhibition rooms I often thought about that funny movie with Ben Stiller “Night at the Museum”.  🙂

2017-09-21  THE SUN WARMING THE BIG WALL OF LUCCA

Lucca is one of the rare cities which have a full city wall around the old town. It’s about 500 years old and 2.5 miles / 4 km long. I have read stories, where the people in the town feel safer because of the wall. Who knows? Being in Lucca made me think about that, and I got something out about this story.

All in all it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall  ➡ song text “Another brick in the wall” by Pink Floyd

2017-09-20  GRAND HOTEL STOCKHOLM

Tonight we sleep on silken sheets
We drink fine wine and eat rare meats
On Carousel and gambling stake
Our fortunes speed, and dissipate
It’s candlelight and chandelier
It’s silver plate and crystal clear
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand  ➡ song text “Grand Hotel” by Procol Harum

For me it was only a visit at the bar  :-),  I did the photos a bit undercover, photographing at that location is not welcomed. Grand Hotel Stockholm has it all, butlers and concierges in uniform, waiters and bar tenders with a suit, bow tie, and tidy haircuts.

2017-09-19  CHURCH IN CARINTHIA

A quad tour on the hills of Carinthia brought me through endless meadows and alpine pastures, I saw natural lakes like the “Forstsee” and farm houses. At a short rest for a bottle of natural water, I saw that rural church and was ready to shoot immediately. The roofing is with wooden tiles, the area around the church wooden fenced.

2017-09-18  LOUD TIME SQUARE

The hot spot of New York, the neon signs bring you the newest trends of the world, masses of people in the district, a very special flare in the night, thousands of different faces and cultures every minute, big black SUVs on the streets, many shops and groceries open 24 hours, buskers and musicians on the street, red line buses gathering tourists, here and there a cop.  🙂

2017-09-17  MAN WITH SUN GLASSES

Often I am a bit precarious with photographing people, because I am not sure if they like it. This man was ready to pose for few seconds, which I used to take a fast shot. This happened at Haight Ashbury in San Francisco during a street fest. Though he wore sun glasses, I could make eye contact where he signaled I would be allowed to take photos.

2017-09-16  MODERN SHOPPING CENTERS IN ISTANBUL

The shopping centers in Istanbul can compete with every shopping center in the Western world, and will surpass most of them. New modern architecture and design, all kind of fashion labels and food courts, those centers are real entertainment palaces. In a city with a population of nearly 15 million, it has to serve many cultures and population strata. I can recommend visiting this city to everyone.
