Germany, St. Stephen's Cathedral is a Baroque episcopal church in the city of Passau in Bavaria near the border with Austria

Veste Oberhaus is a castle on the left bank of the Danube, opposite the old town of Passau on the right. Founded in 1219, it was for most of the time the castle and residence of the princely bishop of the Bishopric of Passau. The inscription 1499 on the facade, which can be seen from afar, shows only one of the years of construction of the castle, which was expanded again and again until 1800.

Stephansdom (St-Stephen's Cathedral), Vienna, Austria
Just one week after the opening of the many Christmas markets in Vienna, the historic city center is bursting with activity from shoppers and tourists.

It is always wonderful to take pictures there, even under a light drizzle.
