2016-12-28 EARL COURT LONDON II
A different perspective from the exhibition center, it looks a bit like a dock on a starship …

2016-12-27 EXHIBITION CENTERS IN BIG CITIES
I have visited Cisco Live London, Berlin and Milan. I admire the big size of the exhibition centers in big cities, as I have seen at Messe Berlin or Earl Court, London, which is shown on this photo. The organization runs perfectly, over 10.000 people are handled, given food and brought to the right speeches and exhibitions.

2016-12-26 FIRST STOP IN AMSTERDAM
Since we had to wait about 1 hour for our “online”-taxi at the airport, we took a little tour through this shopping centre. There was a typical Heineken-bar where we started our Amsterdam-tour with a big glass of fresh beer. 🙂

2016-12-25 CHRISTMAS TREES IN MANY VARIATIONS
There is fantasy without borders for building Christmas trees from different materials. We have a white one built from paper and plastic, artfully crafted, looks really cool beside the real one. Also this one on the photo looks interesting. Hand made from glass jewelry it shines in bright light.

2016-12-23 MALTA WITH GREEN GRASS IN THE WINTER
During the winter months you can see green grass and blooming flowers in Gozo, the sister island of Malta. Compared to Middle/Northern Europe you think you are in the spring with the nice temperature of about 16 degrees Celsius. 🙂

2016-12-21 FREEDOM FIGHTER IN KITZBÜHEL
Kitzbühel during summer is more silent than the busy winter months, but even during that time worth a visit. You can concentrate more on taking photos and relax. Here is the famous freedom fighter from Tyrol, named Andreas Hofer.

2016-12-20 ENTRY TO GARDEN OF GLASS
With only my IPhone and 20% battery left I entered this great exhibition where I immediately knew, that I had to try my best to cover those great exhibits with the (limited) equipment I had. Even in low light, the IPhone did a good job and I could go home with a bunch of great photos. 🙂 Then I was in a hurry, because 4 hours later was my flight from Seattle to London.

2016-12-19 HILL FROM THE HIGH WALL
The “High Wall” is a mountain-plateau where you have to be very careful with the observation areas. There’s no fence or warning sign, you go ahead and immediately you stand before a 100 meter scarp. The rocks are straight down, better to be free from giddiness. 🙂 This photo was taken some meters away from the big scarp, showing the whole valley among the “High Wall”.
