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.

2017-09-15  PILLARS OF GENOVA

A high-speed train brought my wife and me from La Spezia to Genova. The travel time was about an hour, with fully air conditioned carriages. I took a cold Aloe Vera drink as provisions and soon could go out in Genova exploring the city. I can tell you, that is a must see. In my thinking, I had this as a gray harbor city, but the opposite is true. Cultural heritage, full of live and interesting streets and buildings. And a great exhibition of photographer Elliot Erwitt.

2017-09-14  SLIEMA TO ST. JULIANS, MALTA

Beginning in Sliema, stretching to St. Julians the Malta boardwalk brings Maltese buildings, restaurants, churches, hotels and flats. A many miles walk/drive, where you can enjoy the Mediterranean climate and pleasant lightings. It surprises you with something new, around every corner. In many Maltese restaurants, they serve English beer, Guinness or John Smith, both I like.  🙂

2017-09-13  TYPICAL WINE STREET IN LOWER AUSTRIA

Along the wine streets, you see those houses with grape presses inside, often combined with wine cellars. The buildings are near the wine gardens, where the ways from the vintage to pressing stays short. In this area, you don’t have the big, industrial wine producers; there are many smaller vintners which try to produce the best wine from their grapes. Often vintage is done per hand, with wine scissors and tubs hanging on shoulders and back.

2017-09-12  JAPANESE GARDEN IN SAN FRANCISCO

I visit nearly every Japanese Garden I can reach. I love the plants, the atmosphere, the little bridges, the tea houses, the Koi carps and the tidiness. I was lucky, that San Francisco has one of the greatest Japanese gardens I have ever seen. You find every Japanese artifact you can imagine, the whole facility very neat. Though you have to pay a little entry fee, you can combine it with the California Institute of Science or the De Young Museum.

2017-09-11  HIP BAR IN STOCKHOLM

After a long walk, we entered that hip bar and restaurant in Stockholm. It was downright crowded, and we had no reservation, so we got only a less prominent seat at the window. Due to the large orders, the waiters were under stress, and we had already 2 Aperol Sprizz each until we got our meal, which was a finger food plate. After the food, we ordered Averna on the rocks with lemon slices, which is my favorite aperitif.

2017-09-10  HUNDREDS OF WIND MILLS

The Burgenland, or called “Land of Castles,” one of the nine states of Austria, is very flat. It’s an entry point for heavy winds, which is predestinated to win energy from wind mills. On the horizon you see hundreds of them, spinning their wheels slowly with the wind.

“New York City ist die heißeste Stadt, wenn man einen neuen Boyfriend und ein Hotelzimmer hat.
NYC ist mein Lieblingsplatz, weil die Leute, die ich da kenne, sind ein wahrer Schatz.”

“New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
New York City is my favorite place

2017-09-08  ART GALLERY ALBERTINA

In many art galleries taking photos is forbidden, but mostly only if you have cameras. 😯 Taking photos with smartphones are no problem; nobody says anything because nearly everyone does it. With a camera, the old thinking prevails, that you shoot photos with flash, which makes the color of the exhibited picture flat. However, I try my best, to make the photos without too much sensation, and of course without flash, which would be absurdly anyway, because of the light reflections of the paintings.

2017-09-07  GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE IN THE FOG

Our last day in San Francisco brought us to an observation deck at the hills in the south-west of SF. Since all photo equipment was packed already for the flight, I had only my Leica D-Lux 5 left. I thought, better than the phone and took my last shots of the Golden Gate Bridge with fog coming off the sea.
