As promised, finally I am getting back in competition ;)

Today I am not gonna share a fancy travel picture or something. This was made not even a mile away from my home. Maybe in this time of the year it's a nice reminder that you don't have to go far away to find something beautiful - Sometimes you just have to watch out and enjoy the beauty of the things around you. That said, MERRY CHRISTMAS from Austria!

P.S.: Please enjoy the picture in it's full resolution, it is way better then ;)

I've said this before, but Venice, Italy really did beat my expectations when I finally visited. Everyone knows the city through film and media but being on the Grand Canal especially at sunset really is breathtaking. There's such a charm and uniqueness to this city that's hard to beat. And how can you not love your taxi being a boat!

I'm very lazy actually to wake up early in the morning in order to catch some sunrise shots. But sometimes happens
And quite often the Nature is thankful :)
Here is Klaipeda old city on sunrise. Employed the reflection of the river for all the scenery to be even more stunning

Enjoy the burning morning!

The traffic zooming around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris at dusk adds an extra element of interest to this beautifully illuminated monument. Paris is full of wonderful photo opportunities.

Far from anything on Earth, I stand on the cliff of the snæfellsnes peninsula before the ocean enlighten by this fantastic colors in the sky. The rock formations are just wonderful and the place is very special: home if the entrance of the center of the earth (Jules Verne, Journey to the center of the earth).

Location: Iceland

My 2015 Winter Wonderland Trip commenced in Copenhagen, Denmark. It had been raining the day I arrived in the city which gave me an opportunity to take some reflection shots as soon as the rain stopped the next day.

In Austria there are a lot of lakes surrounded by mountains and forests.
So it is paradise for those who like hills and skiing.
This is one of them - amazing Attersee.
The picture was shot a few years ago.

Port of Stavanger, Norway

This summer I was hitchhiking with a friend from Germany to Norway. We were overwhelmed by the friendliness of the Norwegian people. Hitchhiking in Norway is super easy and I will always remember the amazing dude who gave us a lift to Stavanger in his classic car!

A view of Vienna. The photo was taken at the Danube Canal (Donaukanal) and it shows the reflection of the lights of the buildings on the water. The illuminated tower at the vanishing point is the UNIQA Tower; its illumination changes colors and patterns.

Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
The tiny country in the middle of Europe is known as one of the three official capitals of Europe, for it's banking sector and high per capita GPD (Gross domestic product). We visited for 2 nights last October and stayed at the fabulous "La Pipistrelle Hotel" . It's worth a trip for sure:)

Germany's mountains are always worth as visit, but snow adds the little extra to create a special atmosphere. Snowboarding is one of my past time activities and this picture was taking in the latter half of the day, to get the nice yellow feeling I used my goggles as a real life filter.

I took this photo of salt pans in Marsalforn, Malta. It was very interesting to learn how salt is produce. We also got to buy a few bags of local salt. It was a great experience.

Trakkai Castle in Lithuania. I am not much into castles but must admit that this place made an impression on me. I took this photo in late April 2015. It was still freezing there though.

Tower Bridge, London

The bright side of that very windy day was that I was able to capture the waving flags on top of this London's iconic bridge.

Pont du Gard

The most visited ancient monument in France, listed a world heritage site by Unesco, the Pont du Gard aqueduct remains one of humankind's great masterpieces.
It is in southern France, built in the first century AD.
It served as an aqueduct until the 6th century before becoming a tollgate in the Middle Ages and finally a road bridge from the 18th to 20th century.

This photo was taken in "De Peel" in Limburg, a province of The Netherlands. This is where I grew up. The country is small and mostly urbanized, so to find a piece of relatively undisturbed nature is getting more and more difficult.

Hi everyone,

This photo comes from Paris, France during a trip that I took to Europe in high school. During our visit to Paris, we got to see many famous attractions, and even got to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower! Here's a photo that I took while we were waiting for our group's turn to visit the top. Good luck to everyone - there are some wonderful photos this week!

Can I enter my Dancing House picture for this one? If not Ill throw another one in.

After eating some pizza at a little corner store my friend and I were walking home as it had just stopped raining. Seeing how beautiful the lights were and how it reflected off the wet ground made me have to stop and take a few pictures.
