Flare do you go?

When I went into an gardener shop with my wife, I found several motives to take a shot on. Because the sun was setting down, there where a few spots where the light fell onto polished or glossy surfaces and there I found it … and I thought: “When the sun sets, flare do you go … ?”

X-Mas battening

Again and as usual, my wife and I went out to “eat-at-mom’s-the-day-after-xmas-like-every-year”.
Lot’s of food, tight family circle, “deep” smalltalk, “serious” discussions, food, coffe, cake, sweets in all kinds of variants (did I mention food?) and a dog who tries to get some, too.

Oh well … but the positive part is: I got some new pics while walking to my mom … they turned out great I think.

Middle age came into town

Today, my wife and I traveled back in time. We traveled to the point, when there was no computer, no television, no radio … hell, not even electricity at all.

At the “Heeresgeschichtliches Museum” in vienna the time anomaly spitted out the strangest people from that time. It was great how all those nice people dressed like. Unfortunately, there where a bit more “normal” people around then dressed ones. But in some rare cases, one got a climpse of how it would have looked like in that time, when only those “middle age” people where around.

And they where a lot:
Traders, weapon smiths, bar tenders, cooks, guards, knights, thieves, maids and also some strange creatures with unnatural bright eyes …
Colorful stands with all kind of things like knickknacks, weapon stands, glogg stands (with real iron cauldrons, getting the glogg out with a goblet and poured into a cup), ocarinas and stands offering differnt drinks and food.
Some open fireplaces for warming ones limbs or just stand and watch the ado.

It was so much fun and we enjoyed this drive very much. We even bought two smoked trouts (there was a seperate smoking trouts stand) and they tasted great. No like those packed ones from the supermarket.
I hope that such an event will come again soon and then I will surely travel back in time again …
