Early morning in Heiligenblut as the clouds are just opening up to reveal Austria's highest mountain peak, the Grossglockner (3798m).
And yet another shot from the Krimml Falls in austria. This was shot before sunrise, thus the blue tint. I could have done another white-balance but I wanted this cool feeling of twilight in the picture. For me this looks a bit ethereal but that might be my own sentimental impression ;-)
I did 2 exposures here to get back a little detail in the fall in the back (simple blending in postproc). I used f/13 which I found is still a very sharp f-stop for my tokina lense with not much diffraction noticable on my crop camera. So quite the optimum in case of dof versus sharpness for me

Looking down on Halstatt from the sky walk.
The complete "Kaisergebirge" reflected in the " Astberg Speichersee" Beautiful place to relax with a tremendous view on one of Tyrols most famous mountain range.
I am so thrilled when I wake up in a hotel room and get a view worth photographing. This was one such morning. I was staying at the delightful Pension Edelweiss in Heiligenblut. The owner had noticed my photography hobby and whilst we were eating breakfast she hurriedly entered and told me to "stop eating NOW", the Grossglockner (Austria's Highest Mountain) had just emerged from the clouds and needed to be photographed. So I dashed up to my room and took this shot from the little balcony. The Grossglockner is the small white topped peak on the left side of the valley.
More than one year I had to wait to take this photo. Last year when I was up there with some fellow photographers I did take no serious photo because of the awefull weather we had. We spent most of our time hiking through clouds, rain and snow and scouted the area, but didn't take out our cameras very often.
So I went back there last weekend and this time I got lucky with the weather :-)

Il palazzo di Schönbrunn e il suo parco sono elementi inscindibili l'uno dall'altro. Il parco, ampio e variegato, si presenta in stile barocco alla francese e venne progettato da Jean-Nicolas Jadot e Adrian von Steckhoven sotto la direzione dell'imperatrice Maria Teresa. Un primo progetto del parco venne stilato da Fischer von Erlach, ma questo decadde entro breve in quanto il progetto non si accomodava alla grande area da riempire e alle molteplici possibilità artistiche che si presentavano.
Il progetto venne attuato dal 1695 su progetto di Jean-Nicolas Jadot (già allievo di Le Notre, giardiniere del Re di Francia a Versailles), e venne costruito in anticipo sulla struttura stessa del palazzo per dar tempo alle piante di crescere e il cantiere fu in attività sino al 1699. Tale progetto comprendeva probabilmente due soli parterre laterali al grande viale che ancora oggi attraversa il parco.
Con Maria Teresa, i cambiamenti al palazzo si riflessero anche sul giardino e già dal 1750, i due parterre laterali vennero allargati sino alle dimensioni attuali. La trasformazione del progetto venne anche fortemente voluta dall'imperatore Francesco Stefano il quale, tra il 1752 e il 1753, vi fece erigere tra gli altri uno zoo, oltre a un prezioso giardino botanico. Egli si servì dell'olandese Adrian van Steckhoven e del suo assistente Richard van der Schot per la costruzione del nuovo giardino. Nel 1755 venne terminata la costruzione dell'Orangerie.
Come si è già accennato, fu poi Maria Teresa a commissionare la costruzione della Gloriette in fondo al giardino, sette anni dopo la morte del marito e nel medesimo tempo venne anche costruita la grande fontana di Nettuno che ancora oggi troneggia in fondo al viale centrale del grande parco.
All'epoca neoclassica, sempre nel XVIII secolo, risalgono invece la fontana dell'Obelisco (1777) e la rovina (1778) di chiaro gusto d'epoca.
Fu l'imperatore Giuseppe II a disporre l'accesso al pubblico ai giardini imperiali, con grande dispiacere dell'aristocrazia che si trovava a dover passeggiare nei giardini con la popolazione comune, anche se il palazzo divenne un importante luogo di aggregazione per la popolazione viennese.
Dalla fine della monarchia anche il palazzo è amministrato dalle dipendenze dello stato.
La Metropolitana di Vienna(in tedesco U-Bahn Wien), oltre all'S-Bahn, il tram, gli autobus e la ferrovia locale Wien-Baden, fa parte della rete di trasporto pubblico della capitale federale austriaca. Nel 2015 trasportò circa 440 milioni di passeggeri, ovvero 1,2 milioni al giorno. Dopo varie corse prova effettuate con utenti a bordo nel 1976, la metropolitana di Vienna venne ufficialmente inaugurata nel 1978. La rete, composta da 5 linee, include parte del vecchio tracciato della Stadtbahn. La metropolitana è gestita dalla Wiener Linien, che fa parte della Wiener Stadtwerke ed è di proprietà della città di Vienna.
I just love this place and enjoy its colors, reflections and atmosphere each time I come here. Also try to find new compositions like this one. The restaurant has lately been completely renovated and has lost some of it's charm, because of the new wood, but I'm sure this will come back soon. HDR + focusstack.

Even if a little late, I finally made it to my favorite autumn photo spot. The snow wich has fallen a week ago took something away from the color harmony of this unique larch forest but nevertheless it was a beautiful hike. Now the winter can come.
