    About this ebook

    The travel photography I have chosen to share with you in my book has very special significance to me. Each image was taken with the greatest skill and determination that I have to offer. As you will see, there are very few images with people in them. It's not because I don't like people (I love people); it just wasn't the way I wanted to capture the views. Funny, my wife and daughter accompany me on my photo shoots and always ask "Dad; how long are you going to stand there and wait for those people to move out of your picture?" Actually, I hate to put them through that but, hopefully you will see the results of my labor as you maneuver through my website (josephhendrixphotography.com).

    Joseph B. Hendrix

    My name is Joseph B. Hendrix I am a Professional Photographer who has been taking travel photographs for many years. I grew up in northern Texas, where I joined the Air Force in 1976 after graduating from High School. I am still in the Air Force (Reserves) today. I have been very fortunate over the years to have traveled as extensively as I have and having been afforded the opportunity to document my travels on film. I have gathered hundreds of thousands of images but only my most favorite shots are represented in my Photo Gallery and now in my book.

      St Wolfgang, Austria

      8_St%20Wolfgang%20500%20PPI.jpg

      St. Wolfgang is a market town of 2,794 inhabitants in the Salzkammergut region of Upper Austria, named after Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg. The complete name of the town is Sankt Wolfgang in Salzkammergut. Situated on the northern shore of the Wolfgangsee (close to the towns of Strobl and St.Gilgen, both in the State of Salzburg) at the foot of the Schafberg mountain, it is famous for the White Horse Inn (Hotel Weißes Rössl), the setting of the musical comedy and for its pilgrimage church with a late Gothic altarpiece by Michael Pacher.

      A destination spa, St. Wolfgang is also a popular skiing resort during the winter. A rack railway, the Schafbergbahn runs up the mountain. There had been several places for lodging around the church since medieval times. The Weißes Rössl hotel was built in1878. There had been several places for lodging around the church since medieval times, while the Weißes Rössl hotel was not built before 1878. During World War II, a sub-camp of the infamous Dachau concentration camp was located here which was liberated by the American Army.

      Horst Castle, Belgium

      9_Horst%20Castle%20-%20Belgium%20500%20DPI.jpg

      We visited this castle in 2008. Horst Castle lies near the village of St. Pietersrode, north-east of the city of Brussels, Belgium. When the first Horst Castle was built isn’t known. And however there was a ‘castellum Rode’ in this area in the 11th century, the name Horst was first mentioned in 1263. Then, a Jan van Thunen settled here and called himself Jan van Horst.

      Horst Castle was built on a strategic spot in the Winge-valley and was one of the strengths protecting the nearby city of Leuven which was the largest and most important city in the Duchy of Brabant during the 14th century. In 1369 the castle was bought by an Amelric Boote who rebuilt it. Of his stronghold only the keep, part of the curtain wall and a part of the gate remains. In 1488/89 the castle was burnt down by the people of Leuven during their war against Maximillian of Austria. Around 1490 the castle was rebuilt to its present appearance.

      Verdun, France

      10_Verdun%20France%20500%20DPI.jpg

      The Victory Monument was inaugurated on 23 June 1929. There are two Russian field guns at the front of the monument which had been captured by the Germans and then taken from them by the French Army. This monument with its 73 steps leads to a statue of a soldier at the top. The steps are carved into the old ramparts of Verdun. In the crypt below visitors can see the books with all the names of those who received medals from Verdun. Leading away from the river here are several roads, and one of these gives an outstanding view up to the Victory Monument. This imposing monument is set into the town walls, and small fountains flow in the street leading up to it, and in the middle of the steps which lead up to it.

      At the top of the steps is a 90 foot tall column which stands the figure of a knight and a pair of Russian field guns which flank the column. There are annual commemorations here in June each year; which are amazing events.

      Queen’s Guard – London Tower – London, England

      11_London%20-%20Tower%20Guard%20500%20DPI.jpg

      Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the eastern edge of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The Queen’s Guard and Queen’s Life Guard are the names given to contingents of infantry and cavalry soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences in London.

      The British Army had regiments of both Horse Guards and Foot Guards predating the English Restoration (1660), and since the reign of King Charles II these have been responsible for guarding the Sovereign’s palaces. A detachment of the Regiment on guard at Buckingham Palace and St James’s Palace is also responsible for providing the guard at the Tower of
