Zugspitze from Fern Pass | Germany/Austria

Zugspitze from Fern Pass | Germany/Austria

At 2962 meters above sea level, the Zugspitze is Germany’s highest alpine peak. Its slopes spread out gently in the daylight in this photo. It was taken from the Fern Pass mountain pass in Austria at an altitude of 1212 meters. The German-Austrian border runs across the Zugspitze. There used to be a border crossing […]

Marienplatz in Munich | Germany

Marienplatz in Munich | Germany

A thorough tour of downtown Munich is at least a day trip. Around the main square called “Marienplatz” are the most interesting sights of the Bavarian capital. And in winter… if you haven’t yet been to a German fair, the Weinachtsmarkt in Munich is worth testing out as one of the first. The centre of […]

Berlin monuments | Bebelplatz and Unter den Linden, Germany

Berlin monuments | Bebelplatz and Unter den Linden, Germany

Bebelplatz is one of Berlin‘s largest and more famous squares. It is located near Unter den Linden. Until 1910 it was called Platz am Opernhaus (square at the Opera House) and between 1910 and 1947 Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Platz. Although invisible in the picture, there is quite an interesting monument in this square. Monuments at Babelplatz One of […]

Potsdamer Platz in clouds | Berlin, Germany

Potsdamer Platz in clouds | Berlin, Germany

Potsdamer Platz (Potsdam Square) in Berlin is one of the major road intersections in the capital of Germany. It had been destroyed during the Second World War and later during the communist regime, it was quite an abandoned place. Until the day the Berlin wall fell…

Train tracks and Friedrichstrasse station | Berlin, Germany

Train tracks and Friedrichstrasse station | Berlin, Germany

Though many Berliners would deny and argue with that statement, Berlin has really good subway and train connections. Despite the capital of Germany being so vast, you can get almost everywhere in a reasonable amount of time.

Wieskirche or The Pilgrimage Church of Wies

Wieskirche or The Pilgrimage Church of Wies

Wieskirche or The Pilgrimage Church of Wies is still not typically a touristic attraction in Bavaria. It remotely stands at the feet of the Alps and is a UNESCO World Heritage, which I liked the most – with a background story but still undiscovered by photographers.

The Nuremberg Castle | Nuremberg, Germany

The Nuremberg Castle | Nuremberg, Germany

The Nuremberg Castle (in German Nürnberger Burg) is one of the most prominent medieval fortifications in Germany and one could say even in Europe. Some sources say that the castle is representing the power and importance of the Holy Roman Empire and the German Nation.

Lake Tegel | Berlin, Germany

Lake Tegel | Berlin, Germany

We often see this view of the Lake Tegel when we are leaving or returning to Berlin. It is always a significant moment when we smile to each other… there really is no place like home.

Krämerbrücke | Erfurt, Germany

Krämerbrücke | Erfurt, Germany

The stone part of Krämerbrücke was built in 1325 but the houses located there have continuously been inhabited during the past 500 years – longer than any other bridge in Europe! If not for the modern outfits of passers-by, you could actually feel a little like you are still living in traditional medieval German city.

Neuschwanstein Castle | Bavaria, Germany

Neuschwanstein Castle | Bavaria, Germany

Once we returned to the car, at the base of the Alpine foothills of which Neuschwanstein Castle stood, I looked once more behind me. The Bavarian Castle looked slightly isolated on the edge of the rock. I then looked at the sky above – do you see it too?

St. Coloman Church | Schwangau, Germany

St. Coloman Church | Schwangau, Germany

It was our first, long road trip when we travelled through Bavaria and Italy. Having a car with us meant that we could reach more remote places, for example, a small baroque Church of St. Coloman in Schwangau, which stood in the middle of a field. There were no tour bus stops and no cars slowing down so we laid our picnic and just enjoyed the setting sun.

Panorama from Storkower Straße | Berlin, Germany

Panorama from Storkower Straße | Berlin, Germany

This was an unusual spot to capture photos of the Berlin panorama. I had a meeting with a fellow photographer, when it started pouring down with rain and after just a few moments of hesitation, we finally decided to try and take some photos to see what would happen. We made an appointment at Storkower Straße from which you can see the skyline of Berlin; with the TV Tower majestically prevailing the line of the horizon.

Supermoon 2016 | Berlin, Germany

Supermoon 2016 | Berlin, Germany

This is no ordinary moonbeam in Berlin – it’s a supermoon! This astrological event is very rare in Europe; it’s been 60 years since the moon has been seen so big. This was a terrific opportunity to grab my camera, climb to the Berlin Cathedral balcony and capture this moment.

Rotes Rathaus | Berlin, Germany

Rotes Rathaus | Berlin, Germany

Rotes Rathaus was built in Berlin in the second part of the 19th century, in the style of High Renaissance. I found it particularly interesting that this town hall was inspired by two buildings. First, the architect was inspired by The Old Town Hall of Torn (Toruń in Poland). Second, the towers of the Rotes Rathaus are built in a similar style, as the cathedral towers of Notre-Dane de Laon in France.

Autumn | Saxon Switzerland, Germany

Autumn | Saxon Switzerland, Germany

It was funny to discover that the name “Sächsische Schweiz” comes from 17th Century. In 1766, two Swiss artists Adrian Zingg and Anton Graff joined Dresden Academy of Arts. These two artists wrote many letters comparing landscape – back then named Meissen Highlands – to their homeland. The name gained broad audience and soon enough the entire area was recognized this way.

Zwinger Palace | Dresden, Germany

Zwinger Palace | Dresden, Germany

This section is a terrace that is part of the Zwinger Palace. The building and the courtyard inside are built in a Baroque style, which was famous for the rich, colorful ornaments and striking shapes. It really is a unique experience to see and has even more exceptional beauty on a sunny day. The name of the palace comes from the German word “Zwinger” which describes the open space between two walls.

Berliner Mauer – The Berlin Wall | Germany

Berliner Mauer – The Berlin Wall | Germany

Have you ever wondered what freedom means? The East Side Gallery in Berlin always gives a great reminder. In our modern day, it has now become a piece of history that allows visitors to walk by, to remain on the East side and within a moment – pass freely on the West side. I guess my generation is very lucky.

TV Tower seen from Storkower Straße: Tilt-Shift Photography | Berlin, Germany

TV Tower seen from Storkower Straße: Tilt-Shift Photography | Berlin, Germany

I find tilt-shift photography especially efficient on photo images as this one because it lets your eyes lay on the background, recognizing the City Hall, the Cathedral, the TV Tower in Berlin and also the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel on the right. In other words, it gives you the essence of the city, captured in one picture.

Autumn photo of Berlin and the Time Blend Effect | Germany

Autumn photo of Berlin and the Time Blend Effect | Germany

First, I photographed the background – I captured the sun just before it went down and at the same time when the clouds were amazingly illuminated from the below. Then, half an hour later, I photographed the foreground, by shooting 7 – 8 images. At the end I used the Time Blend effect to combine images of the Storkower Straße in Berlin, taken at a different time, into a single picture.

On focus: the TV Tower of Berlin from Storkower Street | Berlin, Germany

On focus: the TV Tower of Berlin from Storkower Street | Berlin, Germany

This picture is among the very few ones that really show unusual perspective on Berlin center. Actually, the trick I used for this image was to intentionally brake all the two-thirds or golden ratio rule of photography, and choose to put the TV Tower of Berlin right in the middle. I did that because I really liked the way it stands out of the entire composition.

TV Tower at Night from Park Inn by Radisson | Berlin, Germany

TV Tower at Night from Park Inn by Radisson | Berlin, Germany

With its 125 meters (410 feet) of height, this is, indisputably, the tallest building in the city. Park Inn by Radisson Berlin is also the tallest hotel in the country. Moreover it offers one of my favorite views existing in a city in Germany. The Hotel has 37 floors and it’s located in the northeastern part of Alexanderplatz, in the central Mitte district.

The paelac and the garden which surrounds it are part of a union of eight manors and gardens along the river Elbe called the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz. As part of this union, it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage since the year 2000.
