statue of St. Florian in Hallstatt, Austria

the seafront of a hotel in Hallstatt, Austria, is decorated with this statue of St. Florian under a window with a romanesque double arc.

on mother's day 2007 Hallstatt was really quiet and definitely worth the visit with the whole family.

monsoon in colombo

the pouring rain and the humidity provided a natural soft focus effect. at times rain was so heavy that you just had to hide under a roof and wait.

galle face hotel was quite empty at that pre-monsoon time in colombo, in this way aggravating the feeling of lost former times and their glory.

castle from a fairy tale

taken with a polarizer filter in front of my 17-35mm, I tried to intensify the mirrored picture, but had to learn that my theory was flawed because of the unpolarized nature of the sunlight. Anyhow, the picture came out as I wanted it, so at least the polarizer did no harm.

labour day morning was cold, but taking this picture was definitely worth getting up and out at 6:00 am.
