In the mountains

Hochschwab mountain, 2277 m, 25th August 2007.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber

On friday I did a short visit to the medieval town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Bavaria, Germany. Worth visiting: town hall square, buy some teddy bears, shop for Christmas souvenirs in June at Käthe Wohlfahrt and get some Schneeballen (4th photo below). Noticable: many japanese tourists and even japanese salesclerks. Enjoy the photos below!

Lufthansa 747-200 revisited

This year (actually yesterday) the weather was worse than last year and the year before that. Rain, sunshine and rain again.

Japan VR

Still now having returned fully - in my mind - from my trip to Japan, I´ve been looking for VR pictures from that great country. Here are a few from places I actually visited:

• Yokohama, Minato Mirai 21 area - at night: It really looks great. Too bad it was raining when I got there. At least I changed trains several times at nearby Yokohama train station.
• Himeji castle: you can actually click through the VR tour, but you can´t enter the inside of the castle. It´s difficult to find the way without being able to look up (and see the castle tower). 2nd image.
• Tokyo, Meiji Jingu and palace
• Several images from Nara - though I haven´t been there at night.

Finally, panorama journey has some great japanese panoramas too, but I could find any places I actually visited (found via QTVRDiary).

Slow down and move right along

Today I nearly didn´t get my morning coffee at the office. The other company hosted on your floor was moving out, and my coffee cup disappeared for a few hours. But I´m drinking way too much coffee anyway - hence, sometimes it´s good to slow down (great picture).

On the other hand, getting to work is a bit faster right now, since as the U6 underground railway´s station Gumpendorferstrasse is closed - due to constructions works - the trains moves right along. I guess it would be better if there wouldn´t be a station after all. Did you notice, the slightly awkward english translations - something like "Closed of Gumpendorfer station" - being pasted over a few days later?? Hm, that´s Vienna.

Flappr

The Flappr web application makes surfing flickr photos great fun. Like those here of Tokyo. (Do not type "Tokio" ´cause you will get many unnecessary Tokio Hotel photos)

Flickr surfing

Surfing new and old flickr entries is a great Saturday afternoon pastime for anyone. After reading about this on vowe.net and mattandjess, I tried a few photos myself. First, open the list of recently uploaded photos and hit ´Reload´several times. Here are some photos I hit upon:

   

Actually, I could continue this forever, but then why?

T on the go

These guys and their chairs remind me of a certain company I used to work for - though they aren´t from that company. Turns out they are the sales guys of those chairs. This rocks!

Christmas cribs

This week I´ve visited an exhibition of christmas cribs at the Historical Museum of the City of Crakow. Those cribs are part of an annual cribs builders content. Here´s my cribs photo show.

Hiking aventures

Yesterday, I´ve been hiking with the girls - at Kampalpe near Spital am Semmering. Going up was a bit complicated - we had no clue where the path was. Least there was another group following use - they though we knew the right way. Enjoy the photos!

[Note: I´ve deleted a few photos of the other group for copyright concerns.]

Vienna

Due to having a friend visiting me (us) here in Vienna, I took the chance to shoot a few 2 pictures in the city today. Well, a few, but only 2 good enough to show here.

Lufthansa Boeing 747-200

Lufthansa Boeing 747-200 

Wanna see what I´m up too this days?? Last weekend I´ve visited with a friend - who´s a model train collector - the Gauge 1 meeting (Spur 1 Treffen) at Museum Sinsheim in Germany. Besides trains they also have real planes - and very special planes too: the Concorde and the russian Concorde (Tupolev). This picture though is the great blue-yellow color of the Lufthansa Boeing 747-200.

Check out also a few pictures hiking in the Hochschwab region (Styria, Austria).
