It’s been three months. I arrived in cold weather with mountains covered in snow. I have spent my last days in sunny summer weather with the snow gone. Fun times in Europe have temporarily come to an end and it’s time for me to leave. Read more…

Innsbruck Nightwalk – Techniker Street
Posted by Peter Marcus Bach in Travel on August 29, 2010
Night photography is one of the topics that I am interested in. I brought my DSLR camera with me to Innsbruck with the intention of trying out some night photography. I got distracted by high dynamic range photography halfway through my trip, but here’s a few night shots of the street I lived on that I managed to take (seriously still need to read up on nighttime photography a bit more and venture out again).

I found myself going to town in Innsbruck quite frequently on Saturdays to grab food as the places near my accommodation had their day off. Spent several hours each time walking through town and exploring the malls. Here are three of the major malls in Innsbruck. Read more…

Hiking in the alps – The Northern Chain (Nordkette)
Posted by Peter Marcus Bach in Travel on August 15, 2010
Weekends in high places, I mentioned that previously! I certainly used the opportunity of being in Europe in summer to go hiking up the alps. The Northern Chain (“Nordkette”) is the mountain range north of Innsbruck and on a good summer’s day, you can hike up there for some awe-inspiring views. Read more…
Overlooking the rooftops of Innsbruck
Posted by Peter Marcus Bach in Travel on August 13, 2010
In Innsbruck Altstadt, there is a tower, a lookout point for tourists, who wish to see the city. If all the shops are normally closed on a Sunday, what else could you do! I caught up with a colleague over the weekend and we decided to hang out in high places. Read more…
Venice Recollections (7) So long Venezia
Posted by Peter Marcus Bach in Travel on August 10, 2010
Spent my last evening in Venice roaming around seeing things I had yet to see. Had the chance to also go up the tower on San Marco square and have a look at the view from above.
