Pics from my family vacation

[Pisis]

Here are the pictures I've (or my dad have) taken during our family East-Central Europe Trip. Enjoy!

Bratislava, Capital of Slovakia
(also know as Pressburg in German or Poszóny in Hungarian)

Cool pics. Look like a picturesque place.

 

[Pisis]

Thanks! Good to know you like it.

Vien, Capital of Austria
Wien, Österreich in German,
Víden, Rakousko in Czech

This is the non-tourist part (if you don't wanna see this, close your eyes).
We visited Mr. Edward Serotta, an American reporter living in Vienna who is mapping fates of post-communist countries. I took these pics when we made a small trip to a restaurant there.

Nota: Some of the pics were a bit edited by myself...

We went to a Modelbaugeschäft - Model shop. Unfortunately I didn't buy there anything.

Tramways

Cool. Looks like you have been playing around with some photo editting software. That's a lot of fun.

At Serotta's. We picked him up in his bereau. It is filled with many interesting items...

Those are some awesome pics there, Pisis.

Thank you. More to come (this is only the beginning)

Stefansdome - nice gothic relict. It is so high that I was unable to catch it all into the frame. This is my biggest photograph problem - when I take pics of high (mostly monuments) buildings I never success so much...

 

[evangilder]

Cool pics. I like some of the angles you use.

 

[Pisis]

On the main boulevard/corso... Unfortunately I forgot the name of it. Something like Wicherfeldgasse or so...

Cool pics. I like some of the angles you use.

Thank you! I really appreciate it. You're also an amateur photograph, right?

 

[evangilder]

Yep. I am always interested in seeing what other people shoot. It's cool to see how different people will see and photograph the same things. You have a good eye for it, in my opinion. I also like the black and white one that you did. I am assuming you did that with your photo editor?

Keep doing what you're doing, it looks good.

 

[Pisis]

Thanks!

Do you mean the "seccession building"?
I made it in the BW mode on my cam.

After having a lunch (Wienerschnitzel) and seeing most of the historic core, we made a small break at Oberlaa Café. Traditional Vienna Coffee and Sacher Torte (cake) couldn't be missing!

 

[Pisis]

Oh, now I know it is called "jugendstil"
