Billionaires' Row in Manhattan New York at Night

As you know, I always try to book a hotel with a view. In Manhattan, that was a must for me. Immense gratitude to the Residence Inn New York Manhattan/Central Park that gave us a corner room with which we could not only view Times Square but could also capture this photo of the so-called Billionaires’ Row. […]

Macy's Herald Square in Manhattan, New York City during the day in Pride colours

Macy’s Herald Square. Gosh, this shopping mall killed me. No, not as you might expect. Not because Daria had to go shopping for dresses. It was just that I’m a sucker for colours. And I absolutely loved how they installed the rainbow colours for the Pride celebration at Macy’s. When we walked down Broadway and […]

Cathedral of Saint Mary of Palma (La Seu) and the Royal Palace of La Almudaina; Majorca - Spain

We have already dedicated one article about La Seu – the main cathedral in Palma, Mallorca. In the previous photo, however, Nico has mainly captured this Gothic cathedral with its adjacent moat. This shot was taken from the park by the port of Palma. Thanks to the wider perspective, the Royal Palace of La Almudaina […]

Times Square in New York City (Manhattan); USA

Times Square in Manhattan is known as “the crossroads of the world,” or modestly as “the centre of the universe.” Sometimes it is more poetically referred to as “the heart of the Great White Way.” And who isn’t familiar with shots of this corner of Manhattan during the annual New Year’s celebrations?   These terms […]

Internet City at night in Dubai; Emirates

The “Internet City” is something of a town-district in Dubai. It is here that some 1,600 companies have their offices in a rather small space. They are mainly technology companies, and some of them are on the Fortune 500 list.   Dubai Internet City office buildings opened their doors to these corporations in 2000. To […]

A view of Central Park and Billionaires’ Row in Manhattan - New York; USA.

These skyscrapers just in front of Central Park in New York are some of the most exclusive apartment buildings in the world. Because they are located almost on one street, this part of Manhattan is called “Billionaires’ Row“.   Nico captured this view of Central Park and Billioners’ Row, thanks to the courtesy of the Residence […]

Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai; United Arab Emirates

Burj Khalifa (formerly known as Burj Dubai) in Downtown Dubai is the tallest building in the world. Including the antenna, this skyscraper measures 829.8 meters. The number of exciting facts and controversies associated with the Burj Khalifa is rich. Let’s look at a few of them.   The first name of this skyscraper, when work […]

Dubai Downtown along with Burj Khalifa by day; Dubai

We discovered this view of the Burj Khalifa by accident while walking around Downtown Dubai. We were lured to this corner by the many restaurants with offbeat recommendations and the appearance of buildings taken out of an Arabian fairy tale.   Downtown Dubai was built by the same developer as the Burj Khalifa – EMAAR. […]

Panorama of the Cathedral of Palma (La Seu); Mallorca.

This panorama of the Mallorca Cathedral in Palma, captured at this angle, reminds me of… a fish. Or, in truth, from the lens perspective, when Nico wanted to capture the entirety of the Cathedral in Palma, including the surrounding moat. A task not easy – the size of this cathedral is 121 meters long, 40 […]

Gate and Tower of the Sforza Castle in Milan; Italy

Sforza’s Castle in Milan in Italy, is one of the city’s focal points. Despite this, it is often overlooked in photographs depicting this northern Italian city. Sforza’s castle is just a stone’s throw from Piazza il Duomo, so it is worth planning a visit to this medieval castlllle.   Sforza Castle stands on the site […]

Bratislava Castle at night (Bratislavský hrad); Slovakia

Bratislava Castle (Bratislavský hrad) in Slovakia was like a favourite candy for Nico to photograph, whose wrapper is not so easy to open. If you stand on the hill of the Lesser Carpathians, where this most important Slovak castle is located, you will find it difficult to encompass its every corner with your eyes.   […]

St. Anthony's Church in the city centre of Bucharest, Romania at sunset

St. Anthony’s Church in Bucharest is said to be the oldest building in Romania that has mostly retained its original shape. The church is believed to have been built in the 1650s during the rule of Prince Mircea Ciobanul.   St. Anthony’s Church in Bucharest stands just down the street from the Voivode’s Palace. In […]

Františkovy Lázně in der Region Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad), Tschechische Republik

Františkovy Lázně is a SPA-town in North Bohemia not far from Karlovy Vary. We have been there more than once – after all, Nico’s family originates from this area on his grandmother’s side. She was born in the region and lived there until she needed to move at the end of World War II.   […]

Kutná Hora in Czech Republic (St Barbara's Church)

Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic is located only 51 kilometers from Prague. For centuries it even competed for supremacy with the capital of modern Bohemia. Today Kutna Hora has a population of 20,000 (and is therefore much smaller in size than the capital of Czechia). Nevertheless, the city still bears the signs of its […]

View of Verona and the Adige river at sunset | Italy

Do you recognize this view of Verona (Italy) from St Peter’s Castle? Apart from being one of the most popular shots of the city of Verona with the Adige river, Nico has already published a similar photo.   You can see the effect of the previous photo of Verona here. What do you think of […]

Laser Show at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore at night

Many ask “where is the best place to see a laser show in Singapore?”. We found one solution to this: rent an Airbnb overlooking Marina Bay and drive up to the top viewing floor of the skyscraper, just when it starts to get dark.   This photo of the spectacle of lasers in Singapore was […]

Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria - daytime view; Germany

If literally translated from the German ‘Neuschwanstein Schloss‘, the name would be ‘Castle of the New Swan Stone’. A perfect term for this fairytale castle located near the village of Hohenschwangau in Bavaria, Germany. But why such fairytale architecture and the name of this most popular castle in the world?   According to tourist information, […]

Burano's water canal at sunset; Italy - Venice area

Burano is an island just 7 kilometers from Venice, Italy. You can get there by water bus from Venice (Vaporetto) or by water taxi. Although Venice itself is an intense experience that will take you a minimum of a few days, Burano is definitely worth making room for in your itinerary. Burano is known for […]

Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslas and Adalbert in Prague's Hradcany district (Czech Republic/Czechia)

St Vitus Cathedral in Prague is the largest church in the whole of the Czech Republic. Capturing it in a single photograph is therefore not a trivial task. Most popular photographs of Prague only show part of the cathedral together with Hradcany Castle. Nico was only able to take this picture a few years after […]

Dubai Marina during daytime

When Dubai Marina opened, it was the world’s first man-made marina of this size. Not in “one day Rome was built” as they say. This is also how the Marina was built in phases.   In 2018, the entire marina complex was inhabited by around 55,000 people. The target for the Marina expansion, however, is […]

Amphitheatre in Qatar Cultural Village Katara - Doha

This Amphitheatre in the cultural village of Katara (Doha) is an architectural cultural blend. The Katara Amphitheatre was built on the model of a Greek theatre. However, this is not where the imagination of the creator ended. If you look at some of the elements of the theatre you will notice references to the traditional […]

Ponte Vecchio by night in Florence, Italy

Florence’s Ponte Vecchio or “Old Bridge” was probably one of the first bridges spanning the Arno River. Its history is therefore not straightforward. It was destroyed in 1345 and rebuilt anew. During the Second World War it was the only bridge over the Arno River in the area that was not demolished by the fleeing […]

Monument to the 25th of April Revolution in Eduardo VII Park at sunset - Lisbon; Portugal

The 25 April Revolution Monument by João Cutileiro commemorates the day of the 1974 Carnation Revolution, which ended years of dictatorship in Portugal. The revolution ushered in significant economic, demographic, social, and territorial changes in Portugal and its overseas colonies. The dictatorship was abolished in favor of democracy and, as a result, also brought political […]

Al Bayt Stadium near Al Khor for FIFA 2022- Qatar

Al Bayt Stadium near Al Khor in Qatar is a tribute to Bedouin tradition. It is here that the opening match of the FIFA World Cup 2022™ and the matches up to the semi-finals will take place. Al Bayt, after the World Cup, will be folded up like a typical tent…   Al Khor (as […]
