A last view at the church. What’s fascinating there is the ossuary, and that’s just around the corner. Let’s go.

7111 - Hartberg IV

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Well, it was not the best of times to visit this church, but then, when Christo veiled buildings, people considered it art as well 😁

7110 - Hartberg III

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Aaand … already in a church. That escalated quickly 😝

7109 - Hartberg II

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Pretty nice for a pharmacy building, huh?

7108 - Hartberg I

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Finally in Hartberg, our destination that day.

7107 - Towards Hartberg VI

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Last of that series, time to move on.

7106 - Towards Hartberg V

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Strong lines to play with.

7105 - Towards Hartberg IV

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Same place, further up the hill.

7104 - Towards Hartberg III

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Another random spot, some more random pictures 😁

7103 - Towards Hartberg II

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

As always, on a day like that, you can take images anywhere. On the other hand, driving by car does not always give you options to stop. Many of the things you’d have taken images of just get lost. In case of this and of yesterday’s image, I stopped for the sky and the clouds.

7102 - Towards Hartberg I

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Next morning. We are on our way to Hartberg, a small town in northern Styria that I’ve passed countless times on my way to Vienna. I’ve never explored it, though. Time to get started.

7101 - Pöllauberg XXV

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Finally, the beautiful graveyard. What a place to rest! What a pity you can’t enjoy it once you’re dead 😁

7100 - Pöllauberg XXIV

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Left of the side entrance of the main church, we find this beautiful fresco.

7099 - Pöllauberg XXIII

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The small chapel from outside.

7098 - Pöllauberg XXII

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Inside the small chapel.

7097 - Pöllauberg XXI

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This pillar is in front of the church. The inscription tells of a high-born, noble and wealthy sponsor. The usual thing.

7096 - Pöllauberg XX

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Nice stairway as well.

7095 - Pöllauberg XIX

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The entrance is on the side of the church.

7094 - Pöllauberg XVIII

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A closeup view.

7093 - Pöllauberg XVII

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Quite an impressive view 😁

7092 - Pöllauberg XVI

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Again at the same spot. These three modern stele face the church. It’s a beautiful arrangement.

7091 - Pöllauberg XV

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A pretty impressive church. The image was taken from the same spot as yesterday’s, about 20 meters below.

7090 - Pöllauberg XIV

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Mother and child. Have you noticed that the church is totally dominated by men, and still it is often referred to as “Mother”?

7089 - Pöllauberg XIII

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The same from the other side. I wonder, can this have been incompetence? I don’t know, but hardly thinkable. At least, it takes some time to build a church. Enough time for the financier to step in and stop the work. Therefore, it looks intentional. Weird. huh?

7088 - Pöllauberg XII

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The obstructed view from the left side.

7087 - Pöllauberg XI

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The centerpiece, God’s glory. A white, bearded old man, what else 😁

7086 - Pöllauberg X

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The last guy was John the Baptist, this one should be Saint Joseph, according to the lily.

7085 - Pöllauberg IX

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Back to the 12-100mm f/4.0 for some details.

7084 - Pöllauberg VIII

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

More symmetry and more attention to the altar.

7083 - Pöllauberg VII

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A look into the vault reveals it all. Symmetric columns around the altar, and then, along the nave, a series of columns right along the middle.
