danube tower

yesterday me, my brother, my mom, her boyfriend and his parents took a trip to the danube tower. this tower is one of the tallest buildings of vienna (...I think lol) and you have an amazing view over the whole city from the top. of course I used that opportunity to get some great shots.

it's pretty expensive, I think in my entire live I've only been ther 3 or 4 times. so it's always something special :)

here you can see the amazing view you have from up there









and we even managed to see the sunset . this picture would definitely be my new favorite if it wasn't for the dirty window I had to take it through

I alsmost missed this one. it was on our way out and I was looking at the pics I took, when I suddenly saw something colorfull on the ground...glad I did hehe of course it took me ages to get my brother not to stand in the way



afterward we went to the cafe that's also in the tower and had some coffee.



it's such a cool cafe cause its rotating and that way you always have a different view of vienna

here you can see in which direction of vienna you're looking


and that was it
we went to a greek restaurant afterwards, which was VERY yummy hehe

holiday pictures : Anger

so like I said in the last post there are gonna be lots of pictures and here they are. and believe me, it's really a lot of pictures lol

1st day

okay, the first day wasn't really all that interesting. you know the usually stuff. get up early so you don't have too much traffic. ariving at the hotel, checking in unpack and that kind of stuff

the weather was really great, though a little too hot for my liking, but I managed to get some great shots of the cloudy sky
and believe me it's not that easy to get shots, while the car is moving really fast ;)

anyway, I thought I could just relax on the first day, but nope. my grandpa already had plans for the afternoon, so we took a bike tour, they did sometime between now and the last time we went there. I think all in all it were about 25 km.




I loved all the flowers that we saw on the way there and back.



that was pretty much the first day.
at the evening we played "Schnapsen", which was pretty cool, cause I haven't played it for a long time and still love it.

2nd day

the second day started with getting up at 8am :/ and a breakfast buffet. the things I don't like about buffets is that you always eat way to much even though you don't plan it. somehow it always happens lol

after the breakfast we drove to a "barefoot park"

you pretty much go in a round barefoot and there are all kind of different stations. for ecample you have to go on sand or stones or have to keep your balance and that kind of stuff - all of that you do barefoot







my personal favorite was the station, where you have to go trough mud


so much fun, though my pants did get pretty dirty lol

there is also one part, where you have to go trough a little river, and I took that chance to try out some different shutter speed settings on my camera to see the difference



personally I like the first one better, cause the water seems more smooth

I was kind of impressed that my grandparents did all of those stations at their age. lets just hope that I'll be just as fit when I'm their age.

and here's a picture of me behind the wheel...the first time after about two years lol



on the afternoon we just stayed at the hotel and relaxed a little in the sun.

3rd day

on the 3rd day we made another bike tour. unfortunately it started raining on our way back, which was, according to my grandma, of course my grandpas fault. cause well, my grandma just likes to blame him lol even if she doesn't mean it

in the afternoon we drove to a little alpine pasture we went to every year when we took the trip



and there was this cute little cat, though she was a little camera shy, so I'm happy I got at least one good shot lol

4th day

this day we went to a summer bobsleigh, which was just awsome and a nice variety from all the other stuff we did so far.
my grandparents didn't want to ride so I gave my grandma a crash course in how to take pictures with my camera, and I think for the first time she did pretty good.



in the afternoon my mom, her boyfriend and my aunt and uncle visited us and stayed for one night.

this afternoon we drove to a lake way up in the mountains and went around there some time


the best part though was, when I tried out a "Segway". anyone ever rode with one? if so, then you know how awsome it is, and I really hope I'll get to do it again sometime



and that would be me totally reliving my childhood lol

5th day

my grandparents went to church in the morning, and since I never go to church at home I didn't really see the point going there, so I stayed at the hotel and had a second breakfast with my mom and her bf cause they got up later than us.

after church we took a little walk through town, nothing major or overly exhausting lol

in the afternoon we went to the "barefoot park" again, cause our visitors wanted to take it too.

in the evening we tried out the swimming pool, which was way too warm for my liking, and the wellness area the hotel has now. very cool

6th day / last day

the last day was all about relaxing. right after breakfast we drove to a lake and stayed there all day.
I tried to make a panorama in ps out of 5 pictures, and I think for the first try it turned out pretty good.

it was a pretty cool day. we played minigolf and drove out on the lake with a pedal boat






and I don't know whether it was the chlorine in the pool or the fresh air, but my hair got WAY too curly/wavy for my liking :/




so that was pretty much it. and I told you, LOTS of pictures, and if you actually looked your way until here I'm really impressed lol

random picture time

alrighty, time for another post, since it's been awhile

in regard of the last post, I eventually went with the lemon and the kiwi one, and kept the one with the two kiwis for me heh.
though I did bring all the pics I took, in case my mom wants another fruit, which she did not. but my grandfather saw looked at them too and he also wanted some, so it was very good I brought them with me lol

so here are some new pictures. they are pretty much just random ones and don't really have a theme.

this ones pretty much just happened cause I had a craving for gummi bears and cause I was bored lol

took these pictures, cause I wanted a new header for my journal with bright colors

and this shot happened, cause I was looking through an board for dslr photography and thought it looked really cool with the heart and all. so I tried it too

and one of me and my new haircut, well not really new more like semi-new. I just cut it a little shorter in the front and on the side, cause I don't like it when all hair is pulled back.
yeah still not sure if I like it that way, but it looks better when my hair is straightend out


so that was it for now.
I'm going on holidays tomorrow, so there will be lots of pictures when I get back ;)
