Art nouveau building in Graz
Art Nouveau building located in a shopping street named Sporgasse in Graz. Well, the building obviously needs a kind of brush-up, but I love this combination of beauty and decay. What do you think?
Party venue Hasenstall in Graz
This is the entrance of a party venue in Graz named Hasenstall (‘rabbit hutch’). I haven’t been inside yet, and I’m not going to make a recommendation, but I love this exterior. It reminds me of the Easter stickers from my childhood.
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.
Coat of arms of Graz
A fine example of the coat of arms of my city Graz. I found it on the wall of the Styrian Armoury located in the town centre.
The fairy tale grotto train of Graz

Grimming Mountain on Austrian Train TV
On a train journey through Styria (Austria) I took this photo of a mountain called Grimming. I love to call views through the window at the opposite side ‘Train TV’. It’s a bit like looking at a flat screen, isn’t it?
Wall decoration in Graz
A lovely wall decoration at a dwelling house built around 1900 in Graz.
