2018-11-18 HARBOR FOR THE GONDOLAS
Wooden stakes and jetties build the harbors for the gondolas, on the photo you see the Canale Grande. The gondolas get strapped with ropes, and then they withstand bad weather and broken water.

2018-11-17 BEER AT THE VIKTUALIENMARKT
How cool is this? A public alehouse stands at the Viktualienmarkt in Munich. The guy behind the bar draws many pints and 1-liter beer glasses (“Eine Maß”) in advance so that the guests don’t have to wait. A steady come and go, even I did a pint at noon with a portion of weisswurst (“Weißwurst”).

2018-11-16 FIRST SIGNS OF THE WINTER
I intended to do a drone-flight over the heather in Perchtoldsdorf, near Vienna. Then I saw the signs that dogs, bikes, littering were forbidden because the area is owned by the municipal. Then I was unsure if drone-flying would be allowed. I wanted to avoid anger and potential fees, so I stuck with my camera and did the shots of the beginning winter.

2018-11-15 FOOD COURT IN BORDEAUX
The food court in Bordeaux, which I present on the photo above, offered high quality, exquisite food, and tastings. Combined with fine wine from the region was an unforgettable impression which I brought home from France. Sandwiches with excellent toppings like lobster and French cheese, ham and tasty oil and spices were an enjoyment. Outside we looked after a seat and had some red Bordeaux-wine.

2018-11-14 SHOPPING CENTER IN ISTANBUL
Inside in one of the big shopping centers of Istanbul. I used the time to shoot some photos, compared to my wife and my daughter who were eager to go from shop to shop and look around, try dresses and shoes, and so on. In the end, we all were happy; I had some photos and my family some bargains. With my Sony A7S I could shoot high ISO photos in good quality.

2018-11-13 COLOSSEUM IN ROME
After passing the long line with a queue of hundreds of people were queued, I was entering at the Online-ticket counter where only a handful of tourists were standing. Inside this historical, unique building I was surprised at what good shape the walls, pillars, and steps were. For a short time, you could imagine of the big events and fights which happened there during the Roman Empire.

2018-11-12 SCHAFBERG RACK RAILWAY
I decided with my wife Karin to walk down the Schafberg mountain near St. Wolfgang. From 1783 meters down to the valley, we chose a way directly on the railroad line. Soon we got into dangerous terrain, because the line got so small, that there was nearly no escape from up-and down-coming trains. As you can see in the photo, we hid between to rocks. The walk got more and more risky on the narrow tracks, then we took a turn left and walked down between cow pastures.

2018-11-11 SUNSET IN SAINT-TROPEZ
The photo shows my first impression of the famous Quai Suffren in Saint-Tropez. After getting a parking lot only 200 meters away, which is big luck, my wife Karin and I took the way to the pier. It lives up to its reputation, fancy bars and restaurants on the city-side, big yachts at the sea-side.

2018-11-10 ALL TIME OF THE WORLD
“All time of the world” is the motto for a statue, nothing to lose, sitting and watching at the passengers in Edinburgh. The illuminated Edinburgh Castle brings colors on the picture; a scene which I shot from Princes Street.

2018-11-09 ICM IN MUNICH
While visiting the Fujitsu Forum in Munich, I also used the time to shoot some photos. The International Congress Center is a top-notch modern building complex, well suited for significant events. It was a high-quality arrangement among others with presentations about blockchain and nex-gen flash storages.
