A wild sheep chase in Sylt
Sheep are quiet animals, spending the hole day grazing on the meadow or on the dike. And look how fat they are. If I would be so fat, I would definitely just spend the whole day grazing too. There’s nothing to do, isn’t it? What else can a sheep do all day?

Vienna and the lightness of being
Live and let live – Vienna is the city of comfort. Somehow the people of Austria’s capital city seem to be more relaxed, more easy-going than the Germans for example.

When I think of South Tyrol, I think of Val Gardena, a strip of land that has a lot to offer, what makes life worth living.
