Alpstrudelfall, Walderlebniszentrum & other random photos

Mountain range on night of Perseid shower (above)


Here are some random photos that I either neglected to add, or that didn't warrant an entire new post.

All is well and I expect to have some new adventures over the next few weeks, during my break from school. This week I have to bust ass to finish up so I can finally get some relief from all the homework. Naturally, I will have to practice during break, because all of the assignments make that impossible now. But I knew what I was signing up for, and I kind of enjoy it.



The Altstadt one drunken night:

Galgenbichl is where they used to hang people in the old days. There's a big hill surrounded by woods and meadows and it's right in the middle of town:

You can see a spiderweb if you look carefully:











Some people gathered in the courtyard of the Hohes Schloß for a tour:


The following photos were from a bike ride I took toward Hopfensee during a sun shower. It was probably the best ride I took all year simply because of the weather, the view, the vibe, the rainbow:







These were taken at the Walderlebniszentrum, which means roughly "forest enjoyment center":



I know this sounds crazy, but I have a recurring dream where I'm walking/running down a wood plank path just like this one. Spooky:







These are from a graffiti exhibit at the Kunsthallen am Lech, which is an old factory cum artists' residence and gallery:




A hike to Alpstrudelfall in Austria:





Random moon/castle shots from my balcony:








A very early sunrise (around 3:45am):


That's all for now. See you next week!

2nd Austrian Bike Trip

Jon and I took a bike tour of the Tirol, much like the trip my cousin Alex and I took a couple of weeks ago. Except this time we went south through a different valley. It was actually a lot shorter, albeit tougher. We did it all in one day...all 60km (37 miles), which was easily the longest bike trip I ever took. But I had it easy, I was on my cruiser. Jon was on my BMX!


Jon by the rickety bridge with the Vilsegg Ruin behind him:


Filling up in Pfronten:

This cat ran up to us as we took a break near the side of the road. The friendliest cat ever!

A stop for lunch in the valley:




A break by Haldensee:



The Alter Gaichtpaß near Weißenbach am Lech (an old Roman road):
