Sooo, just to make you jealous I post a panorama I took at the rooftop of the building (The Archive) where I am currently staying. A big thank you to Kamel and Robert who hosted me the last few days in New York! It's currently 2am here and I'll head to the airport in approximately [...]
... of stupid people that beat up others (in this case me) without any reason: After the South Africa in Colours Festival we moved on to a musicology students' party. Well, the party was pretty cool until I got punched in the face. I was just standing there and have no reason why that guy [...]
To escape the masses that attended the Danube Island Festival last weekend my friends and I went to the MuseumsQuartier where South Africa in Colours took place. A show with music (e.g. Lira), dance and stories from, you guess it, South Africa. It was really great and didn't even cost a penny. :)
On Saturday Vienna was full of colorful people because of Vienna Pride 2011. The parade's route was leading around the Ring finishing at the Viennese town hall. It started raining during the parade but nonetheless people kept on partying and also stayed for the concerts at the final destination.

Two weeks ago I did a small bicycle trip to Grafenegg and the surrounding area. Some snapshots...
After the shooting on Thursday it was raining cats and dogs but instead of getting home as fast as possible I walked around in the rain and took some street shots. When I finally arrived home all my clothes were soaking wet, but the photos were worth it (at least I think so).

One of the first photos with my new camera...
On Friday my couch surfers and I visited Vienna's Central Cemetery. During our stay a thunderstorm came up - heavy wind, rain, thunder and lightning... what a perfect setting for taking pictures! We went to the old Jewish part of the cemetery where - over the years - nature took over. As all other visitors [...]
Last weekend I had two couch surfers from New Zealand and Lithuania visiting me. On the first day we were walking around the city, exploring graffiti at the Danube canal and fooling around.
