After our recent pictures of a partial lunar eclipse now a collection of impressions of two wild sunsets with gorgious colours! And many thanks to the unknown inventor of the telephoto lens... :)
Some pictures from our stopover at Wels, Upper Austria. We stayed in and were impressed by the city's midieval downtown, our hotel with "Tanner's Tower" (Ledererturm) in the background and the European Street Food Festival which happened to take place right during our stay in Wels!
Summertime in Southern Styria: We were back in Leutschach, at Sandra and Karli's winery, savoring August's best wheather, hiking the Heiligengeist-Gorge, sipping Karli's wine and enjoying another week full of relaxation and recreation!
It was worth the waiting! Partial lunar eclipse above southern Germany on August, 8, 2017! Poor moon...
What an unomalous phenomenon: The wheather was so hot and unusual humid today, that Blaubeurens swelling pot "Blautopf" and the "Blau"-creek literally started to sweat when dusk set in. The steam and fog gave the impression of a grey and cold autum day, like November - while actually we mark the beginning of August!
Blaubeuren celebrated its 750 year of existence as a city with a big parade through the medieval old town, featuring marching bands and historical figures of the city's past.
It was only 1969, that the necropolis of Armeni was discovered ten kilometers south of Rethymnon. The cemetery goes back to the late Minoan age (1400 - 1200 B.C.). So far, around 230 tombs have been uncovered, that were all dug into the rock. They consist of a corridor and a chamber - the latter the larger, the more wealthy the deceased family used to be. In some of the chambers you can even stand, while most of them are not bigger than a small car's trunk.
Back on the island at Giorgi's Blue Apts, we enjoyed a week full of sun, sea, relaxation and philoxenia. Here are some impressions to dream about. Next time you come with us? We will again be visiting Crete in September!
A visit to the fahr(T)raum museum in Mattsee, just 15 minutes east of Salzburg, Austria. The exhibition is dedicated to Ferdinand Porsche, the automotive pioneer and great car designer.
So delicious! So tasty! And so rich...
