while up on patscherkofel¹, two weeks ago, i took the time to make a time-lapse recording of innsbruck, between sunset and darkness.
this time, i used my pentax w60 (night mode), which has an internal timer feature. it took a picture every 15 seconds for 2 hours, which resulted in a speedup of about 200 times in the video.

enjoy! :)

soundtrack: tim minchin – not perfect

when we got back from our quick tour through austria, a special event was already coming up: “almkirchtag” in the museum of tyrolean farms.
almkirchtag is a tyrolean (austrian?) traditional festivity which takes place once a year in an “alm” (which, in this case, means an alpine restaurant rather than a mountain pasture).
in the museum, however, it’s the time when the old buildings are filled with life, and real tyrolean traditions are revived and displayed in this setting: tyrolean music and song, tyrolean delicacies and specialties, handiwork etc.

here’s a panorama from last sunday:

panorama: dress rehearsal with the choir and orchestra

it was taken during the dress rehearsal (the bass was on tacet), a few hours before we performed j. haydn’s theresia mass with the wilten boys’ choir (wiltener sängerknaben) and innstrumenti orchestra.
an ingenious piece of music!
