Upcomming Easter Photo Walk

eastereggs-18If you life nearby Vienna or you’ve plans to visit us by the next days, we really recommend to spend an hour or two at the Easter Market in Vienna’s first district close to ‘Schottenkirche’, directly at the ‘Freyung’, one of Vienna’s most beautiful squares.

But be warned! You’ve to keep an eye on your wallet because here you will find the biggest selection of most beautiful Easter Eggs in town. You can visit the market every day between 10.00 and 19.30 until Wednesday next week. They claim to have up to 40.000 eggs on sale this year – so I’m sure the perfect one is also waiting there for you!

See you there >:o)

Easter Tree

Eastern is celebrated every year between March 22 and April 25. For Christians, it’s a reminder that Jesus rose from the grave, and that those who believe will also experience eternal life.

A day at the zoo

Last Sunday we had really perfect weather here in Vienna. After a long cold time without a lot of sun it was a perfect day to walk our cameras. So we decided to visit ‘Zoo Schönbrunn’ – Vienna’s well-known and famous zoo – to take some nice pictures. By the way – If you’ve plans taking a trip to Vienna I strongly recommend to visit Schönbrunn – you won’t regret it – trust me

So … I got my Nikon D700 Camera + Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR lens with me and my wife brought a Nikon D3100 and also a Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR with her. Due to the harsh light caused by direct sun we didn’t get home many ‘keepers’ but nevertheless we had  a very relaxing time … it is a great pleasure to sense the coming of spring ….

Let us please you with some impressions:
