You only see what you know (Goethe)
An interesting detail of Slovakia (and Czech Republic): There are more than usual loudspeakers in the streets. Not only in the main cities but also in the smaller ones. A kind of political information system? Which countries do you know where you can see many loudspeakers in the streets?
While walking along the Kärntner Strasse in Vienna, I met this piano player. What was your most impressive moment with a busker?
Fascinating old lantern seen in Wiener Neustadt, a city south of Vienna. I wonder what was the reason for designing this eagle-like bird so ‘plucked’?
On my walk through Friesach, I discovered this clever idea to visualize the medieval gate called Posttor or Olsator in its shape of about 1200 AD. The sign was transparent, so I was able to match past and present.
During my visit at Pöstlingberg, a lookout of Linz, it rained cats and dogs. Even the garden gnome, who I asked for the way to Pöstlingberg Mansion (Pöstlingberg Schlössl), carried an umbrella to protect himself. [German]
This pic shows one of the numerous public inner yards connecting the shopping lane Getreidegasse with parallel streets in the city of Salzburg. The local name for the surrounding buildings is Durchhäuser (through-houses).
These two guys made my day. I saw them in the Kärntner Straße, one of the most visited Viennese shopping streets. Its name origins from Strata Carintianorum as it was an important trade route to the State of Carinthia.
While walking through the Czech city Tabor I came across this funny fireplug. Tabor is a historic city in the region of South Bohemia, Czech Republic. An attraction of this place is an accessible system of tunnels below the city.
During my visit to Nuremberg, locals told me there was a guy with a gondola licence. After some hours watching the river in the middle of the city, I was able to catch him in a photo. The building in the background is named Heilig-Geist-Spital. It served as a home for old and sick people in earlier times.
