a new day at the old castle | Neuschwanstein castle in the morning fog with a fiery sky and glowing mountain peaks in the background - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comCinderella above the clouds | Neuschwanstein castle thrones above the fog in front of majestic mountain peaks - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comSkyline Dubai | Cloudless sunsets are generally not too spectacular, but the hazy sky over Dubai shines in the most beautiful colors about half an hour after sunset - Realisiert mit Pictrs.commorning at Dubai Business Bay | The first morning in Dubai. I only landed around midnight, then immigration control, fetching my luggage and picking up the rental car - I was at the hotel around 2 a.m. and at five the alarm clock rang again. Half an hour by car and then another 15 minute walk to this spot. I hadn't even positioned myself correctly and then I was able to get a picture just before the wind started and the reflection was gone. - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comUNESCO world heritage pile dwellings | Snow on Lake Constance doesn't happen very often. Miraculously, however, it had snowed a little on the Saturday before the third Advent in 2022 and everything was covered with a little white sugar. For a long time I had thought about where to photograph this rare event. My choice fell on the pile dwellings in Unteruhldingen, a place where I have not often photographed. Surprisingly, it had cleared up during the night - the morning was freezing cold, but the mood was very nice. - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comholidays are coming | The first snow of winter in my region, freshly fallen the evening before, creates a beautiful atmosphere around Neuschwanstein Castle with the fog - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comBúðakirkja | A completely unplanned subject: this morning I wanted to shoot on the north side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula at Kirkjufell - the reflection of the mountain and the sunrise in the lagoon on the west side of the mountain. But strong winds and a cloudless morning thwarted this plan. I drove straight on towards my next quarters, passing Buðir on the south side of the peninsula. Spontaneously I made another stop and photographed the well-known black church of Buðir at dawn. Just in time, because a bank of fog was approaching from the east, which soon engulfed the church. - Realisiert mit Pictrs.commalinconica calma | Venice, sestiere Dorsoduro, january 2022 - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comcastle in the air | When I arrived at the viewpoint on the Zellerhorn, Hohenzollern Castle was still shrouded in thick fog and couldn't be seen. But the fog was already beginning to recede towards the north. After a short time the first tower could be seen and soon the whole castle could be seen like a mirage above the fog. This sight did not last a minute, then the fog released the entire mountain and the magic was gone... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comPuente Nuevo de Ronda | The Puente Nuevo in Ronda spans the Rio Guadalevín and the El Tajo Gorge, it connects the old town of La Ciudad with the newer district of El Mercadillo. The imposing bridge is the main attraction of the city. It was built in the 18th century after an arch bridge that had been erected shortly before collapsed in the same place after only a few months.
At MIrador you are never alone at the blue hour in the evening, I had to photograph so many couples in front of the bridge that I almost never got around to taking pictures myself... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comBaños Doña María de Padilla | I had already visited the Real Alcázar de Seville a few years ago, but this wonderful place had somehow escaped me during my visit at the time. Later I saw pictures of it and since then it has been clear: I absolutely have to go there again... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comMuseo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla | Since I first visited Seville, I have loved this building and its reflection in the Estanque Central in the Plaza de América on the site of the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. Apparently nobody was at home in the attic of the left tower this time :-) - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comCalleja de las Flores | In the early morning you still have the Calleja de las Flores in Córdoba to yourself. And as an encore, the first rays of sun bathe the Torre Campanario in a wonderfully warm light. - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comFriedrichshafen awakens | Four large arms factories (Zeppelin, Maybach, ZF and Dornier) made Friedrichshafen an important arms location in the Third Reich, which is why there were eleven air raids on the city between June 1943 and February 1945. Friedrichshafen was not completely destroyed, but the old town and the urban structure no longer existed. The city was rebuilt very quickly, but with a completely new, modern cityscape that lacks any historical charm. But at the blue hour in the morning and seen from the Moleturm, even Friedrichshafen has its charm - Realisiert mit Pictrs.coma wintry fairytale | Already a week vacation and the first time. that there was some color in the sky early in the morning instead of fog ... Another novelty: I'm usually all alone in this place at sunrise, this morning for the first time a second person with a camera and tripod was there. Not that it will become a hotspot! - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comNeuschwanstein castle | Neuschwanstein Castle stands above Hohenschwangau near Füssen in the southeastern Bavarian Allgäu. The building was built in 1869 for the Bavarian King Ludwig II as an idealized idea of a knight's castle from the Middle Ages.
Neuschwanstein is the most famous of the castles of Ludwig II and one of the most famous sights in Germany. It is visited by around 1.5 million tourists annually. Neuschwanstein, often referred to as the “fairytale castle”, is open to visitors almost all year round. The architecture and interior are characterized by romantic eclecticism of the 19th century; the castle is considered a major work of historicism. The aim is to include the "Ludwig castles" Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comview from Shangri-La | The Hotel Shangri-La in the center of Dubai has a small but fine roof terrace on the 42nd floor, exclusively for guests of the Horizon Club Suites, which offers a wonderful view of Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa. Ideal at sunset and in the evening blue hour. - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comWahat al Karama | Opposite the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is the Wahat al Karama, a memorial to the country's soldiers. The central square is determined by a flat water surface, in which the large mosque is reflected - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comvisioni di Venezia | Rio del Scoacamini, Sestiere San Marco, Venezia - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comChristmas Wonderland I | There must be two conditions for this motif: it must be Advent or Christmas time, otherwise there is no Christmas tree in front of the church and there must be snow because of the Christmas mood.
Both at the same time is unfortunately not always to be found in our latitudes and this year was also the Advent season quite short. So when it had snowed heavily on the 28th of December and thawing was forecasted for the time after, I decided to take the opportunity. At half past two at night I left for the morning blue hour in Berchtesgaden. At the time, I was fortunate enough to be alone in this place. Some time later, in daylight, the place was besieged by whole groups of people... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comChristmas Wonderland II | The special charm of this small chapel high above Berchtesgaden lies in the view of the Watzmann. At Christmas time, the small Christmas tree with its lights completes the picture. This motif is so popular that up to ten photographers jostled for the best seats in front of the church. No wonder, because snowfall on the day before had provided for a fresh snowy landscape and for the following days they forecasted  thawing... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comHohenzollern castle | there was fog forcasted so I got up at five a.m. and drove one and a half hour with the car to take pictures of the sunrise at the Zellerhorn viewpoint with the Hohenzollern castle. I was hoping that the fog would raise higher and only the castle would be seen above an ocean of fog. Unfortunately the fog was only down in the valleys... But the fullmoonset a short time before sunrise and the play of colors was worth the trip - Realisiert mit Pictrs.com
