I want to take part in this year’s Hahnemühle drawing competition, whose topic is “Maritime”.
I’ve done some prints and drawings so far but I guess I will do some more for my competition entry…

Alpine Beauty
Hiking in the “Dachstein” region is just amazing – no wonder this part of Austria belongs to the world heritage sites. And if you´re not into hiking, you simply take the cable car uphill…
Rainy Day at the Lakeside
There is a beautiful little village at the “Traunsee”, called “Traunkirchen”, which I like to visit all year round.
Although it’s very nice there in summer, when you enjoy the cool breeze from the cold lake, only on a rainy day you will find this kind of mystical atmosphere…
Idyllic Austrian Village
We’ve got quite a lot of small and pretty villages here in Austria.
St.Wolfgang is probably one of the most popular ones with tourists because of its lake view and surrounding gentle hills and mountains.
At this time of the year it’s very quiet there as well…
World Heritage Region
Walking around the “Altausseer See” I took these pictures of the frozen lake and the surrounding forest. It was a sunny, even warm winter day and one could hear the sound of the melting ice of the lake.
I think you can easily see why this beautiful region is under protection…
A Quiet Time of the Year
The most quiet time of the year has finally arrived…
I wish you all a peaceful time and a good start into the new year!
Mystical Late Autumn Landscape
I haven’t been blogging for ages. The reason is that I took on a new job. Besides teaching languages, I’m also teaching art at a secondary school, which means a lot of fun and creative ideas but also some challenge since I’m quite new to teaching this subject.
Before I went to school yesterday I took these pictures of the nearby `Hallstättersee´, a place well known for its famous town Hallstatt and surrounding high mountains.
At this time of the year it’s not very busy there but the place still conveys its mystical, wild beauty.
Wonderful Greece
This summer we have been travelling wonderful Greece. Life is so much slower and easier there, especially on the small Greek islands.
For art lovers this is the perfect place. Everywhere you find the remains of classic antiquity next to byzantine churches as well as modern day street art like in Athens.
