http://cprokop.org/blog Christoph Prokop's blog Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:09:20 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Another windy day on Falkert. http://cprokop.org/blog/2010/02/16/ski-region-falkert-2nd-part/ In the middle of the Nockberge towers the distinctive peak of Falkert (2.308 m). Though it was a windy spot today I always enjoy skiing there as there are always only a few people skiing and there is an awesome black piste. http://cprokop.org/blog/2010/02/10/ski-region-falkert-10-km-of-pistes/ In about one hour motoring from my hometown Klagenfurt it's possible to get to the largest region for skiing in Carinthia. The crowd was ok, the pistes were great and the weather perfect. http://cprokop.org/blog/2010/02/08/ski-region-nassfeld-110-km-of-pistes/ Nachdem nun wieder ein Jahr vergangen ist und bei mir im Winter eine gewisse Fotoabstinenz herrscht, wurde es Zeit ein Foto zu schießen, an das ich schon lange gedacht hatte. Aufbau: 2 LED-Taschenlampen (bläuliches Licht) von unten durch Backpapier (Diffusor) auf die Spitze einer brennenden Kerze gerichtet (damit der Rauch gut ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2010/01/03/licht-ins-dunkel/ Eiseskälte, 3 Nächte in einer Hütte unter 10 Männern... Mehr braucht man nicht zu sagen ;) http://cprokop.org/blog/2009/12/21/skifahren-in-prabichl-steiermark/ Heute um 16:00 ging es los: zwischen 300 und 4.000 Demonstranten (300 am Start, lt. Polizei ca. 2.000, laut Veranstalter um die 4.000) starteten beim Hauptgebäude der Karl-Franzens Universität. Die Protestwelle kämpfte sich mit Trillerpfeifen und der Hilfe einiger Polizisten über die Glacisstraße zum Jakomini- und schließlich zum Hauptplatz. Gefordert wird ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2009/10/29/demonstration-der-uni-und-der-tu-graz/ As I painted my last draft with Adobe Photoshop, I had to try the software that was included with my graph tablet (Wacom Bamboo Fun Medium): Art Rage 2, a painting software. For a beginner like me it's easier to get an acceptable result within a short time, than in ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2009/10/03/art-rage-2/ As I've decided to finish the holidays here in Klagenfurt I had to paddle with my brother thru the Wörthersee for a last time. http://cprokop.org/blog/2009/09/24/sunset-at-worthersee/ Ok, it was hiking and no mountaineering. But walking nearly 10 hour a day is also exhausting. Starting point was the lake Turracher See (1.763 m) and the route was: 'Barbara-Weg' to the top of Rinsennock (2.334 m), Pregatscharte (1.902 m),  Schneegrubensattel (2.000 m), Stangscharte (2.076 m), Karlnock (2.310 m), Großer ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2009/08/31/mountaineering-part-3-rinsennock-gr-konigsstuhl/ Now we made it: we (with the same friend as last time) mountaineered up to the highest mountain of the Karawanken, the so called Hochstuhl (2.237 m). There is a via ferrata (fixed rope route=Klettersteig) to the top of the mountain with the grade B/C (middle to hard). The entrance ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2009/08/18/mountaineering-part-2-hochstuhl/
