in the most beautiful countryside
of Eastern Lower Austria

  3. I love the second picture of the tree - with the incredible sky as a backdrop. The sky is a wonderful color - I don't even know what color blue that is but I love it! And I like the grapes. At first glance you see a bunch of green grapes but then you see the rose blush on them - and there are even a couple of wrinkled little ones. I have been enjoying my 'tour' of Vienna through your lens! Take care.

  4. What a lovely play with color in the first two photos! In the grape photo, you can feel the beginnings of fall light creeping in. What always amazes me is the beauty you find in small things....a bunch of grapes, a random young tree, a wild flower. Today's visit to your site was a delightful retreat from the first day of school chaos. Happy Monday!

  7. Webradio,
    I was quite tempted to steal a berry! ;-)

    A brush with color,
    thank you! :-)
    I try to "hide" things behind the pictures, if I find the time and inspiration, great that you enjoy them. ;-)

    Deb,
    the background in the second pictures is actually a door.
    I had to stop the car and catch that image, the color's so unique. ;-)

    Allie,
    all these pictures are from a single morning, last Friday. The light is incredible, everything seems to take on this glassy quality.

    Charles Gramlich,
    I found them in the courtyard of Joseph Haydn's birthplace, a little farmhouse.

  15. I've no idea how you "replayed" but these are wonderful. Green in green is not easy to photograph, so it shows you skill has been very consistent. Bravo.

      I shot the pictures with my little Sony Cybershot back then.
