Mural of a Jägerbegräbnis in Saalbach
Mural dating back to 1810 seen in Saalbach, Austria. The mural is named Jägerbegräbnis and shows an odd funeral procession. The body in the coffin is a hunter (german: ‘Jäger’), the mourners of the funeral (german: ‘Begräbnis’) are animals. Have you ever seen such a mural or painting elsewhere?
Mural in Deutsch-Wagram
Interesting mural seen at an abandoned building next to the railway station of Deutsch-Wagram. It shows a train dating back to the first days of passenger trains in Austria. At that time there was a train bringing people from Vienna to this place just for fun and having a good time outside the big city.

Wall decorations in Udine
On my walk through the old part of Udine I came across this fascinating decorations right under the roof. I guess there is a special term for this kind of decoration. How would you call this kind of deco in Italian or English language?
The fox behind the benches
After leaving the Kunsthalle in Vienna where I visited two interesting exhibitions about fashion photography I discovered this cute painting of a fox hidden behind two benches.
The painted house of Graz
This colourful house in my city is generally known as Gemaltes Haus (Painted House). Actually it was the seat of a duke until about 1450, so the official name is Herzogshof (Duke’s court). By the way the top down conifers were part of the Christmas decoration at that time.

Ghost sign in Coblenz

Mural in Hohenems
This photo I took while passing the railway station of Hohenems with an Austrian commuter train. The subject showing Siegfried and Hagen refers to the fact that parts of the Nibelungenlied (Song of the Nibelungs) had been found in a palace of Hohenems.
