My Spring Trip Photo's - Part 1: Graz

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

Hi all,
I mentioned in my last post that I was going to take a break to spend some time with my family.
We went from the Netherlands to Austria for 10 days.

I want to share some photos we took there as it was a very refreshing 10 days where I cleared my mind and forgot about work & stress :)

Road to Graz
We don't really have mountains in The Netherlands, maybe that's why we think the green hills and mountains are simply fascinating!

Doesn't this green give a positive feeling?

Having relatives is always good in these places, you drove all this way I take it? I saw you your Prague one (on my bucketlist) but this one got little attention.

Good detail and photography. Your travel posts remind me of mine.

That's a natural thing I think😉 when we live near to the beach.. we love to see mountain and when we live on the mountain.. we love to see the beach😊.. looks like you and your family enjoy the time.. that ice cream really mouth watering kinda thing to have in a sunny day.

Yes we really enjoyed it! We were also very lucky wrt weather conditions. It was a pleasant trip :)
