STAATSFEIERTAG 2003

The Princely Family leaves the Castle

Finaly around 9:30 the family left the castle. Because of the heavy rain there was nothing else that I could do than trying to make photographs holding my umbrella above my head and camera, which is not the easiest way to make photographs. Surely it didn't become easier as I had to try to follow the family down from the castle to the place at the meadow - a little bit down the road - where the mass was being held. Somehow I managed to be down there before the family and I even got a place in first row from where I could see the family very well, although I hardly got a look at the Archbishop Wolfgang Haas and the others on the (covered) stage.
