This was quite funny and interesting to see. A monkey next to his new friends. Some people say fish are boring. But I found out they can be very beautiful





But there were more animals than just fish and apes. Have a look! There is something I want to add. To me it is very important that animals can feel good and have enough space to move. Every animal deserves to be free and in his natural environment. Since in a zoo they are caged, I at least want them to have it good. In this case they had really much space and it was a clean Zoo. Did you know this is the worlds oldest zoo? Google it :)



Here comes my favorite animal: Penguins! They are SO sweet and funny to watch







Although they treat the animal well, there was one situation in which I felt sorry. Look at this panda, sitting in front of the windows, looking outside. It seems as if he thinks about life. This was a deep moment and made me sad

I left the zoo shortly after and made my way into the city center of Vienna. Seriously, Vienna is so gorgeous! This whole city itself is a museum and a piece of art. Have a look









Thanks for following my travel posts! If you enjoy them feel free to follow me and resteem! See you next week in another country!
Yours,
Tim

Welcome i really like it, i don't know if i am asking to much but i'd like you too see an article of mine and give me your feedback on it ☺️

https://steemit.com/life/@eltooni/education-system-is-stuck-in-the-past-globally

You don't ask too much, don't worry. I will have a look.
Following you now for your support. I really enjoy your honest and constructive Feedback.

You are a true Steemian

i am Steemian

Oh thank you so much this really means a lot to me ☺️☺️

Steemit is beautiful isn't it? It allows you the potential to do what you love for a living!

Fantastic pictures. You earned a follow...at least from me :)

Funny thing is i live in Vienna but different one.... in US 😅
Such an amazing shots. I truly see how much effort you put in this post :)
Looking forward to see next episode in another country.
Hey here is the amazing offer for you.
Google EXPO 2017 Kazakhstan , this is very cheap country with such an amazing culture and right now it is 1 month visa free and super easy to get that. There are more than 120 countries participating in a huge exhibition with the theme "Future Energy"
Here is amazing intro .

The best thing about travelling to me is that it teaches you to accept everything as it comes. Mistakes become blessings, because for every wrong turn - you arrive at something you wouldn't have originally found. You miss the train, or it gets dark while you're hitch-hiking, but then you meet that one person who saves you, and becomes the beautiful face of humanity all of a sudden when you were just starting to panic! And you wouldn't have made that connection if everything had gone to plan, and those are always the most memorable moments. :)
Haha well that's my experience, from travelling with no money, the best way to see the world. You learn a lot!

These words just reflect what I think as well! Beautiful, thank you!

For me it is not just traveling it is more about becoming a part of that place...so whenever I travel I make sure I stay around that place for quiet some time and experience the local life, culture and traditions and that is the sole reason I have made ever lasting connections.

@timsaid Man once again thank you for these awesome pictures, I have been keeping an eye out for your posts and love each one you do, You are amazing with that camera!

Thanks man! It's amazing that you said I am good with the camera and not that the camera is good

Well, I think of it like this. I could give a complete amateur a $10,000 camera and regardless if he doesn't know what hes doing the pictures wont look good. Just like someone can have a priceless gun but if they don't know how to shoot they will miss ; )

I like travelling because I can connect more with nature, learn more from different kinds of people, their language, culture & cuisine. It's even better to hitchhike the travel sometime. Strange high love for the travel work for the travel write for the travel! Hahahaha

Thank you so much for that up vote @pharesim and @timsaid

very nice photos my friend :) funny enough I love the fishy one :D

They look cute! :)

yes :D

Vienna is such a crazy city for photography. The whole place is gorgeous.

What I like most about traveling is that it proves that there is no single correct way to live life. There is no religion, ideology, goal, nationality, or amount of wealth that will guarantee happiness or success.

What a great post!!! Love the pictures! Next time I'm in Vienna I hope to find an hour or two to visit the zoo (or any other of the many exciting places to be in Vienna).
Your work is great! Thanks for sharing these.

Holly, Tim dude you gotta stop you are blowing us with your photos, you're literally the best these photos are just diamonds. Keep it up man.

Wow. A great summary of the Tiergarten. I enjoyed my visit of the Schloss Schonbrunn and the botanical garden back in 2013. Highly recommend it. Thank you for bringing the memory back

Great to see a trending post from my hometown :) I should visit those places again sometime. Only sitting at home haha

Love the photos, thanks for posting!

I appreciate! Just got the new camera to create better content/shots

Love the place, specially in the fall!

Awesome photography!!! Happy Hardfork everyone!!!

LOL, now after hf19, upvotes will be equivalent to the rewards.
I really liked the quality of your pics of animals in water. Crystal clear. And really these animals got some good space. And wow, that "Deo Patri creatori" building is just mindblowing beautiful!!

I know right? So beautiful! You should visit Vienna. I am totally happy with my camera. Thanks for the comment bro! I appreciate, started to follow you

Wow, that's like a gift to me! Thanks.

Gute Bilder und Happy Hardfork! :)

Hope you liked it. Spent 14 years there and got a bit tired of it over time.

Nice shots @timsaid! Great shots always appreciate the animals :)

Awesome shots, love it.

hahahaha best visit for you to a zoo ever :D
Steemit is rocking you life

Wow, nice shots ;) Thank you for sharing this beautiful impressions :)

I love traveling because I find different cultures and different thoughts of people which is wonderful. i love the way people put up themselves in different perspectives.
They cook for us in a different style

It's a very happy day for many of us today indeed. :)

I love the hexagon orb in the second last picture... ;)

Really nice photographs, Vienna is beautiful.... Happy travelling

Give a visit in INDIA also.. Its lovely..

I will!

Loved the pictures, Tim! Great post!

I love traveling because I only have one life to explore this rock that we all happen to live on.

Par Excellence Tim!

Beautiful pictures! Happy hard Fork to you as well Tim!

Keep posting!

awesome photos....my friend...

They have Pandas? I can't believe it. I wasn't a ZOO fan but for some animal species it is the only way to survive, real life is cruel! ... Just ahead, especially if ZOO is so nice as a Viennese ZOO.

Everything about traveling is fun! I almost always meet interesting and fun people, whether it's an Uber driver or someone you interact with while out and about. When traveling out of country one gets to see how other cultures live and this experience is way cool. Even getting to where you are going is fun and this does not matter if it's a road trip or when you are flying on a jet plane.

echt super Fotos die du da gemacht hast :) muss auch mal wieder in den Schönbrunner Tiergarten schauen ;) (wohne eigentlich nur 15 min. entfernt^^)

God job men you are really got a posting.photography seems to be going in concordance with the uprise

a good blog

Stunning photos! I want to be there! Have a great day, you are lucky! :D

Nice Post !! amazing Zoo and Beautifully captured :)
Upvoted and followed

For me last year was very colorful, I have been in Italy, France, Slovenia, Turkey, England, Lithuania, Estonia and USA.
And you know what? Before I had only been to one country ( Finland).
I love traveling because it makes me grow as a person.
*BTW, do you know the feeling when you came back after a trip, the house is the same but something in you has changed! :)

Congratulations @timsaid!

Such a beautiful zoo and great photographs taken by you =)

Wow! Very beautiful images!
What camera do you use?

D750

Wow looks like a very nice place to visit... hopefully someday

O M G!!! Great shots!

Are those baby penguins? They look very cute.
I wish there were penguins in my country. I have always wanted to watch them closely.
Looks like you had a wonderful time there. You have clicked great pictures. Enjoy your time in another country :D

They are so cute, right? Hope you see some soon

No doubt this is cool.

Those penguins could secretly be Batman's strongest villian haha. BTW that panda sitting there was so cute :D

have u met them at the zoo?

Rockin that German sock and sandle swag

I like to travel especially to see and explore new cultures

Hi bro, amazing post and awesome pictures! I will write about foods and my upcoming travels to Thailand, Japan, South Korea and Indonesia! I already write about cryptocurrencies, life, psychology and my personal life. I had 1 good post but I lack a bit of followers. I don't think the quality of my pictures will be the same as yours, not even for 50% but I am a good writer (or so I think). I love travelling because of many things, I love meeting new people and I love exploring culture, nature and the local traditions such as food and lifestyle. Travelling sets me free and makes me feel adventurous. Thanks a lot, love <3

Insane quality of pics! Im amazed by them, animals and buildings look outstanding, keep up your passion!

Thanks! Btw when does HalfLife 3 come? lol

I don't have anything to say anything about half-life 3 :D

Beautiful photographs. But question what is hardfork is all about? Sorry im a newb

Great post. The first picture of the crocodile is very nice.

wow. just amazing .love your blog.

Yeah, the new hardfork is pretty awesome. Great pics, by the way :).

If I wasn't travelling vicariously through your travel posts, I would feel like I'm missing something... People call me nomadic and I can't argue with them. I'm forced to stay in one place for a while these days but only for a few weeks. After that, I'll spread my wings and see the world like I love doing!

Thanks for pacifying me in the meantime. :)

You felt it yourself, that Panda image says it all and makes any rational human being sad... Wild animals belong on the wilderness. For sure that there are "exceptions", in case of boosting some endangered specie to recover its numbers for example. Other than that, these places are simply abominable. :/

Happy Hardfork to you to!
Great picture by the way

Thanks!

Einige der Bilder könnten einen Ticken heller sein.

Leider noch am Arbeiten mit dem Laptop

this zoo is so beautiful - I recently did a post about it too! :)

happy hardfork, equality is good for everyone! And nice panda btw :)

Nice pictures man! Traveling has become a way of life for me.
Without traveling everyday, I start feeling stagnant.
Once you start traveling, it's pretty addictive. I'm sure you know better!
Cheers mate! Following you. :D

Loved the pictures, Tim! Great post!

Great shots @timsaid! Always a pleasure to visit your page...the penguin ones are awesome.

Danke dir für die vielen schönen Fotos! Und den Einblick in den Zoo. Im Park und Schloss Schönbrunn waren wir nämlich vor 3 Jahren mal und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Den Tierpark hatten wir damals zeitlich nicht mehr geschafft.

That is absolutely awesome, thanks for sharing. I haven never been to Europe which probably sounds weird but Vienna is definitely on my life.

Stunning photos by the way. The one with penguins is my favorite :)

Besides I found you produce very cool content, I love it. I recently created my first vlog, and I'm looking for peole to give a constructive feedback on that, so if you have some time can you check it out, and see how it goes? I would really appreciate that.

Vienna is so amazing! The tap water is some of the best in the world!

I noticed it too, Happy Hardfork!

Great post and I love the pictures, especially the penquins.

Wow, very beautiful photos @timsaid

How does the zoo compare with other zoos in Europe? In the States, we have some great zoo's too!

@mpspringer

Nice post @timsaid

Awesome post, love your destinations! Followed. Check out my travel photos also, hope you enjoy them!

I loved this park/palace when I was in Vienna! Thanks for posting these photos, brought back lovely memories :)

You took some pretty great shots man!
I've been there last summer. I have some nice shots that I will put into a blog post tomorrow, I think. I especially liked the polar bears.

Beautifful picture.

I want to be a penguin, they're always so chill

Amazing pictures, What camera do you use?
Thanks for sharing! Peace and Love

This is impressive. That Panda photo melted my heart. Looks like she's waiting for her Love to return:) Looking forward to your next destination.

wow nice pictures i see you in the next country cheers

You have such great pictures.

It's a great photo essay with many pictures to show and it's like bringing us touring around the OLDEST zoo! I never knew this fact and I wish I've visited when I was in Vienna about a year ago.

Two honest thoughts about this post:

  1. The essay is simple and easy to understand with humor, I love this kind of writing.

  2. Nice photos of showing the zoo and all kinds of animals. Good composition and subjects in the photos. However, most photos seem to be underexposed, it would be better if photos were taken under better lighting instead of always under the shades.

Wow amazing creatures! And Vienna, now there's somewhere I'd like to visit! Great post, thanks for sharing.

Some serious photography skills i see. As amazing as the HF 19 payouts. Really amazing shots. Cheers!!!!!!

Great post with mind blowing shots !

Thank you for your effort !
thumbs up steem with akkha.jpg

Dude @timsaid, you take amazing shots. I love you work really I see your every post. Keep post such good stuff :)

Great post - and really fun and interesting pics! I have not been afforded the opportunity to travel much in my life as yet - SADLY!!! lol - In fact I have only ever been on a commercial airplane once in my life... BUT... I have flown a plane once :) so I guess that counts for something lol - As for the traveling... I am working on that... VERY hard!! haha :)

very cool photos also check my account :)

Nice post so I vote you plz you interested in nature and tourism visit my page to support me thanks again

Iran:
come with me and visit:

These pictures are AMAZING, thanks for sharing.

We're living vicariously through your photos.

Na bitte! Da kommst Du nach Wien und kennst Dich schon besser aus als eine Wienerin 🙀 Ich war noch nie im Zoo because I can't see any animals locked up. I am introducing off track Vienna in my articles.
Nice photos
Schade wir haben es nicht geschafft uns zu treffen.

thank you for good posting.

good stuff! good advice about voting. didnt know about the slider

The photos are stunning great job it is a pleasure to follow you

Wow superb shots. I like the cathedral (I think that is what it is) and animals best!

@timsaid I really enjoyed seeing your travel experience in Vienna!

I like traveling and it may be part of me. I like to explore known and new place. It is something I am exciting about to interact and experience. People say you see is better than you hear and it will be even better if you are there to sense, touch, smell and more to open your eyes to the world.

@timsaid You've got quite a few awesome pictures in this post! I particularly liked the third fish. Beautiful how light is reflected from it's scales . There's an eerie vibe to it. Sometimes I wish I could live underwater too... Thanks for sharing! Good day to you
