It was my first time in Dubai and I was fascinated of this modern, unreal and pleasant city. Unfortunately the wind was always blowing the crystal water and ruining the skyline reflection. I had to visit this place three times very early in the morning and on the third day I saw this picturesque fascinating scenery of a unreal floating city.

Biography
I?m 52 years old and I live in Tirol/Austria. I think this beautiful surrounding and the fact I was working in tourism and love to travel have affected me to show people the beauty of nature not only in words but also with my own personal images.
With my images I don't want to document landscape and buildings as they actual are - I'm trying to create an emotion and touch the viewer with my personal way of seeing things. I am convinced this is the right way to show my inner world of seeing things in the world, my personal feelings, my origin and my way of thinking.
