IMG_5483-sanssouci

During my trip to Berlin I also visited Sanssouci Park in the nearby city Potsdam with its numerous castles of Prussian kings. If you are interested in European history I strongly recommend to visit the "Friederisiko" exhibition in the Neues Palais (where I spent four hours, unfortunately no cameras wehere allowed inside the exhibition but it is well worth a ...

It's been... a while. Ages in fact! I'm not a very good blogger, I'm afraid. I might not have been posting a lot but I was travelling a bit and took many photos of the places I was at!

Some of my all time favourites! All of these photos were taken at the Rockerfeller Center observation deck - a typical tourist hot spot. Nonetheless it is a truly magical placce that not only gives you a breathtaking view over Manhattan but also has a very special atmosphere and creates that Empire State of Mind.

Still that city is loud, huge and beautiful. And truly  magical! Although we visited some of the "hot spots" we did not do the classical tourists ...

Tungsten Mine

IMG_4048_kitzbuehel

We had a three days company outing this week and went to Austria. On Thursday we visited a huge tungsten mine which was quite an impressive experience. I had never visited an underground mine before and hadn't imagined how deep this actually goes below ground! (Several hundred meters!) It was warm and noisy and dusty and dark and kinda spooky ...

Guess who will be going to NYC in only 86 days! We booked our trip just yesterday and I'm already excited. CAN'T wait to go back to the Big Apple and take photos (but maybe not as many as last year...) And you know what I am looking forward to the most? Yellow Cabs. ♥

I've got a lot of photos to edit right now, so it took my quite a while to finish these. Here's how I see Rome, the Eternal City: Windows! I saw so many interesting window scenes I couldn't even capture them all.   Piazza Navona Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Piazza Navona)   View from Monte Pincio, 6 in the moring. Despite the fact I HATE getting up ...
