Mostly Japanese food is well prepared, artfully decorated and will be served in a delightful way. I couldn’t resist to snap food more often than planned 🙂
Two different views of the same river, blue sky and with grey sky. Mostly the landscape around the Danube is flat, it arises from the Black Forest in Germany and flows into the Black Sea in Romania. It flows through 10 countries and is 2,860 km (1,780 mi) long, the longest river of the EU.
I am often thinking of which kind of architecture I like most… it depends on the city, in the US or in Asia I prefer the glass facades, in the older towns of Europe I like the buildings with pillars and ornaments.
It’s not only Amsterdam were bikes are popular, they are popular in Amersfoort too. So we explored this city mostly by bike. In the night we placed them on a safe place and did a walking tour where we observed that also some canals trench this town.
In Venice you can use the water busses as sightseeing busses, they have an open deck where you’re able to take photos in all directions. It’s a bit tricky to handle the camera shake, because the water and the boat are never calm enough, but you get rewarded with an impressive view.
Entering Bratislava by car you see the buildings of many tech companies like Amazon, Oracle and Microsoft. The Slovakian government offers a good tax scheme for those companies. In the city center you can take a bus tour which brings you to Bratislava castle where you get a beautiful view of the city.
From High Lane Park you get a different view from New York. The streets and buildings appear from angels you don’t get via the normal street views…
My first way on that neat marketplace of St. Gallen was into a Swiss chocolate shop. There I ordered some tasters of excellent chocolate bars and a dark, short espresso. Then I searched after a location where I could get as much as possible of this marketplace on a photo. 🙂
Though this is not from the movie, it reminds me of Illuminati with the mysterious frocks and the grim faces. If you go through the alleys of Rome with the old buildings you think more and more about the sceneries in the movie. 🙂
I used some spare time in Copenhagen to climb the “Vor Frelsers Kirke” which is an interesting church, if you get nearer and nearer to the top of the steeple, the stairs get tighter and tighter and it ends with stairs so tight, that you cannot longer take a step, then you are on the highest point. There I took some photos from above and discovered squared buildings which, in that style, I have never seen before. Since this photo session wasn’t planned I took those shots with my I-Phone, which did pretty well.
