This was shot in Vienna in a museum dedicated to (apparently) the oldest or oldest functioning Ferris Wheel in the world. This was one of the many exhibits, housed inside old tram cars and depicting, through these displays, Vienna during different time periods in her history.

I had posted a (nosiy) photo of the Ferris Wheel before on this blog here . You can see another photo of a different display (Vienna after WWII) from the above museum here.

This is my friend Christof who is a classmate in my grad program. This was taken on our grad school retreat last month in Gerolstein, Germany.

This is the first time I’m trying out a (heavy) toning like this. I’ve to say I like the result but I’d be very interested to know what you think.

Shot through the cage in very low light therefore the quality is not that great but I still like the way the owl looks back.

Thanks for the comments on the previous photo. Much appreciated. 

Today’s photo was captured at a concert organized as part of the Mozart Year 2006 to celebrate Mozart’s 250th birth anniversary in a church in Gerolstein, Germany.

It’s a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it’s a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away

See the world in green and blue
See the canyons broken by cloud
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
A beautiful day

Ths is one of the rare animal photos on this blog. Perhaps, you will see a couple more animal photos over the next few days.

There is quite a lot of noise in this photo especially in the shadow regions but I still like the whole scene.
