Fotoeins Friday: RTW10, fifty-one

10 years ago, I began an around-the-world (RTW) journey lasting 389 consecutive days, from 24 December 2011 to 15 January 2013 inclusive.

13 December 2012.

From Munich, I’m on a day trip to Passau, known regionally as the Dreiflüssestadt (three rivers city). Passau is where the Inn river and Ilz river both merge with the Danube, before the latter flows into Austria and beyond. Mid-afternoon light and a recent dusting of snow casts a glow onto the buildings in the city’s Old Town. That’s some brilliant colour in this east view from the Marienbrücke bridge over the Inn.

I made the image on 13 Dec 2012 with a Canon EOS450D (Rebel XSi) and these settings: 1/500-sec, f/8, ISO200, 18mm focal length (29mm full-frame equivalent). This post appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com as https://wp.me/p1BIdT-mKc.

Passau: the town of Three Rivers (Dreiflüssestadt)

Next to the Austrian border in the southeastern corner of Germany lies the Bavarian town of Passau. At the city’s so-called ‘Ortspitze’, three rivers converge: the black Ilz from the north, the green Inn from the south, and the blue Danube from the west. The unique setting provides the city with the nickname or moniker “Bavarian Venice.” Facing east and up and over the hills in the distance is Austria.

With a few short hours of late-autumn and winter daylight, I chase the remaining light on foot through a bitter windchill. The following pictures show it’s worth the effort and the sacrifice of comfort: “always for the shot(s).”

Fotoeins Friday: Passau, the Bavarian Venice

Here at the Dreiflüsseck (Three-River-Corner) in Passau, the three rivers Danube, Inn, and Ilz converge. As the Dreiflüssstadt (Three Rivers City), Passau is known also as the “Bavarian Venice” for the low-lying peninsula where the city’s Altstadt (Old Town) resides. It also stands to reason the city has seen its fair share of flooding over the centuries. Under a light blanket of snow, the late-afternoon light and calm conditions combine to provide this beautiful winter scene where the Ilz river at centre-left converges with the larger Danube. The Veste Oberhaus is perched on the hill to the upper-left.

As part of my RTW journey, I made the photo above on 13 December 2012 with the Canon EOS450D (XSi) camera, EF-S 18-55 IS II lens, and the following settings: 1/500s, f/8, ISO200, 18mm (29mm). This post appears on Fotoeins Fotopress at fotoeins.com as http://wp.me/p1BIdT-5ZE.
