Something fishy

I think you amply demonstrated fisheye photography in foggy weather can add some 'fish spice' to the visual outcome. That's great.

 

My nod amongst these goes to the Möbius  band depicted in the last photo.

Very interesting monuments. Which city is this? Maybe it's the fish, but it looks real nice. Thanks for sharing

Thanks. All the photos were taken in the Austrian city of Linz ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linz), many of them next to the Danube, some on a local cemetary, and a few on a hill above the city.

No fog this time. Same equipment as before, taken near two local lakes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weikerlsee

The common werewolf is struck by his madness at every full moon, or so the story goes.

 

My madness strikes about twice a year, and it's that time of the year again, where I am overcome by a strange urge, whip out my fish-eye and take a stroll through the city of Linz. Equipment the usual, of course

 

#1, Entry to the parking garage at the theatre:

 

#2, in front of the theatre, the inscription was added when they gave the full Ring:

 

#3, fountain in the park in front of the theatre (goes by the name of "Freude am Schönen" or "The joy of beauty"):

 

#4, same park, statue of the poet Franz Stelzhamer (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Stelzhamer):

 

#5, Schillerpark, sculpture "Das andere Buch" (The other book):

 

#6, in the city centre. You may be able to spot me in the photo:

 

#7, the same building as the one in the middle of #6:

 

#8, Ursulinenkirche (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursuline_Church_of_St._Michael):

 

#9, fountain at the Taubenmarkt. In medival times they sold Tauben (pigeons) here, hence the name:

 

#10, the Dreifaltigkeitsäule (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreifaltigkeitssäule_(Linz)), erected after the town had been spared from the last rampage of the plague:

 

#11, oldest part of town, some people just wanted to put up a column, which is illuminated during the night
