Please see the winner of the last week´s European Thursday @travelshots with the following entry:

Calea Victoriei is probably the most famous street in the city centre of Bucharest 🇷🇴 For this shot I used an ND8 filter and the lowest possible ISO of my camera, which is ISO 50. So I was able to expose for 30 seconds with an aperature of F11, to make most of the pedestrians disappear and even show some nice light trails of the cars.

Statue of whale hunters in the center of Capelas, a little fishing town on the Azore island of Sao Miguel. Whale hunting was an important industry on these Portuguese islands but fortunately, in the 1980s, the government banned this cruel practise. The last whale was killed in 1987 on the Azores.

Sunrise over Bay of Kotor, Montenegro

I got up early in the morning to hike up to Kotor castle for sunrise. As a bonus, there is no entrance fee imposed at this early hour. I continued my hike up the mountain and the higher I climbed, the more panoramic became the view on the Bay of Kotor.


1/60s; 14mm; f/5.0; ISO 100

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

They say that there is more horses on Iceland than people. And those horses are special. They can live in the environment which is not easy. And they are so beautiful...

Yes they are truly special ~ 🌟 ~ ✨

Photo of Urania in Vienna. It is an Art Nouveau building of the beginning of the 20th century. It was built as a public observatory.. It is located in front of the Danube Canal, where you can see its reflection.

For me personally, Budapest is like a top model among Europe's metropolises and offers a seemingly endless variety of amazing photo spots. On my first day there, I visited the Fisherman's Bastion - probably one of the most beautiful viewing terraces in the world. If you haven't been there yourself yet, I hope that this photo will show you how stunningly beautiful this unique building is.

Late afternoon on the beach, just before twilight...
A look over the sea from Praia dos Buizinhos, a small and beautiful beach located in the village of Porto Covo (Southwest Alentejo region, Southwest Portugal).

I remember when I was in Greece, it was hot, but I did not want to stop. Going around the islands was quite an experience. Ruins, nice views, good food, great people, a great combination to a have a great time.

Here is Lago di Como, one of the geat leakes of northern Italy. I was fortunate enough to get great weather even in winter, and the lake is just beautiful, with the snow capped Alps in the horizon. Here we also got one of the ferries, that is commonly used to hop between the coastal villages.

My entry this week is a island i visited in Greece while touring Europe i was very fascinated with this particular island in Greece called Symi Island , Symi island in Greece is part of the Dodecanese island group. It’s well known for it's blue clear white sand beaches and the beautiful harbor at Symi Town is surrounded by colorful neoclassical houses built on the mountain slopes very impressive to see. Definitely enjoyed my stay there.

This was a little hidden cabin house we stayed at with some friends along the lake of Lake Como in Italy. Lake Como is in Northern Italy region it is an upscale resort area set against the foothills of the beautiful mountain alps with dramatic breathtaking scenery just one amazing place to enjoy that peace and quite.
