Passenger train at the Breitenauerbahn

Vintage railway in Breitenau, Austria

The Breitenauerbahn (Breitenau Railway) connecting the Styrian places Mixnitz and Breitenau is generally used for cargo transports only but on special days the vintage train depicted above is in use for public transport too.

The view from the open car is fascinating. I love especially the combination of watching at trees in blossom and the smell of spring while travelling with this train.

Bread store in Nuremberg

Bread store in Nuremberg, Germany

I had known Nuremberg is famous for its Lebkuchen but I was surprised how many sorts of bread this bread store (Feinkost Nikolaus Schwarz) is offering. Amazing how different the outer crusts and the crumbles of each loaf look like. And yes, I always love a good piece of bread. What about you?

Rainbow in the streets of Graz

Rainbow in the streets of Graz, Austria

Amazing! Next to a construction site, I saw this rainbow (bottom left) in the streets of Graz. It was caused by a drizzle, with which the dust of demolition work had been tied. So I had the chance to walk through a rainbow for the first time.
