Österreich: Alternative Snapshots

I am pretty much the type of person who enjoys every minute of being on a getaway, even for a small amount of time. Thus, there's quite a lack of photography booklets in my home archives. But, that's what having a holiday is all about—relaxing without the stress of carrying what is now often referred to as typical "blogger essentials."

Although I do prefer physical photos captured to remember good times, there are those impromptu moments that are forever embedded in my mind. These are the moments that we all wish could be captured on camera, but instead are best left mentally treasured by those who were present. And, that's okay!

Those memories are the ones you speak about in a room filled with friends as they listen to you with excitement as you tell your tales of travel and spontaneous ventures proclaiming, "well, you just had to be there!"

These images are a few that I took when I went to visit my sister again in Austria awhile back. I loved the black and white photo, which was taken walking about in the city streets in route to a cafe, and then there's a good shot of the view from my flat that I rented whilst I was there.

These few images were so random. In fact, many were the ones that I sifted through initially and almost tossed aside because of being overwhelmed with 400+ other unrelated images to speedily browse through. But, I was happy that it was a rare time for me, (then) actually had my camera by my side. Of course, these days I always have a camera in my handbag, if not, at the very least, there is always the handy iPhone, right?

Are you planning on a summer getaway soon?
