Driving through Europe

[robfactory]

Drove for 2 weeks around Europe and stopped at various places.

Vienna: Truly the most beautiful and museum-like city I've ever been to. I've wanted to come here and walk the streets after seeing the movie Before Sunrise. In fact, it's the only reason we went to Vienna. In the movie, two strangers spend about 24 hours walking throughout the city. I got to see most of the places they visited and it was cool seeing the city like they did.

Prague:
Prague was the first city we visited. I was taken aback by how beautiful it is. If Vienna is the finished product of a perfect city, Prague is the work in progress. One thing that I noticed at an open market was Nazi memorabilia being sold in public. This was one seller. Most of the other things we regular items. Still, this stood out. However, the city is a mix of communist times with a breath of fresh air.
Most of the shots were shot with the Sony Zeiss 16-35 F4 unless stated.

Venice:
One can one say about Venice? It is truly a photographer's paradise. So much to see and take photos of. The churches and the streets are beautiful. We had luck that it wasn't over crowded.

Trieste:
This place blew us away. It wasn't a major tourist destination like the other places we visited. It was beautiful and peaceful. We liked it so much that we have been thinking about real estate there.

There are a few more places and a lot more photos I was not able to post. I will make individual posts of each of the places we visited later.
I hope you guys enjoy these.
BTW. It has been one hot summer. Europeans should really look into air con units. :-D

Beautiful series! Thanks for sharing.
I like #3 from Prague

But the photos from Venice are on a whole different level. Truly excellent - print worthy material right there

I never got to visit beautiful Vienna but its near the top of my bucket list.

I did get to spend a day or two walking around Lisbon and Athens and Sienna. I can sincerely highly recommended all three, plus Sienna is close to Florence, which is another top city for casual walkabouts.

Thank you all for the kind words. I've been putting time into editing these in Lightroom as on my Instagram I've just been editing them on Snapseed or VSCO.
Either way, thank for the kind words. It means a lot.
