Newport Lighthouse – Rhode Island | United States

Castle Hill Light is a lighthouse that has become a symbol of Newport and is one of the most visited landmarks at Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island in the United States. It is said to be a frequent spot where marriage proposals are made. And, of course, later wedding photo shoots take place.   Castle […]

Sechserbrücke in Alt-Tegel | Berlin, Germany

With this photo from the so-called Sechserbrücke in Alt-Tegel, I wish you all a happy new year! This is a special photo for me and fitting to be the first published photo of 2023. 2023 will be the first year I’m officially and totally out of Berlin and out of Germany! Did I say I […]

Sunset in Verona | 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 […]

Dubai Marina

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 […]

Ponte Vecchio 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 […]

Pier Carrasqueira Palafitic – Comporta | Portugal

Carrasqueira is a village belonging to the municipality of Alcácer do Sal. This Carrasqueira Palafitic pier is located only 3 kilometers from the beaches of Comporta and about 15 kilometers from Tróia. The place is still used by fishermen but is also a “hidden jam” for photographers.   A few hundred meters of the Carrasqueira […]

Doha or Venice? Qanat Quartier at “The Pearl” | Qatar

Qanat Quartier is Doha‘s recently built neighborhood in ‘The Pearl’. And if it weren’t for the view of Lusail (with distinctive magnet-like Katara towers), it would feel like we had moved from desert Qatar to Venice.   We have to admit that the Qanat Quartier at “The Pearl” confused us a bit. A few minutes […]

Al Khor Port | Qatar

Al Khor port is one of the „cradles” of Qatar. It was here that the Al Muhannadi clan, (which consisted of seven Bedouin families), founded the city, which became part of the State of Qatar after 1971. As with Doha, the main occupation of the Bedouin in this region was fishing and pearl fishing.   […]

“Porto Arabia by The Pearl”- Doha | Qatar

“Porto Arabia” is one of the attractions at “The Pearl” that should not get lost on your list of places to visit in Doha. The very fact that the entire district of “The Pearl” is man-made (this peninsula did not exist on the map before), deserves attention and a visit. The entire “The Pearl Qatar” […]

Sunrise in Lisbon | Portugal

For over two years we had been beating ourselves up with thoughts of moving to Lisbon. On the one hand, in Berlin, we had family, friends and a fairly settled life in a country where we knew the language and culture. On the other hand, Lisbon charmed us to the point that we spent the […]

View of Coimbra from the Mondego River | Portugal

Coimbra was the capital of Portugal from 1131 to 1255. However, it is not the castle or church that towers over the entire city, as is often the case with medieval cities. The central building of Coimbra is the University and this says a lot about the character of this city.   With the move […]

Pravčická Sandstone Gate in the Polabian Mountains | Czech Republic

Near the village of Hřensko in the Czech Switzerland National Park, there is the Pravčická Gate, a natural rock bridge. The span of the gate at its base is 26.5 m and its height is 16 metres. Pravčická Gate Although the Pravčická Gate is not open to the public, you can admire it from the […]

Aveiro, boats, canals and bridges | Portugal

Aveiro is nicknamed the “Venice of Portugal.” This association is fully justified if you first see Aveiro’s distinctive “Moilceiros” boats and the network of water canals crisscrossing the city centre. And like in Venice, the bridges in Aveiro are also distinctive. The one in the photo is called “Ponte do Laço” or simply “Circular Pedestrian […]

Charles Bridge and Malá Strana in Prague | Czech Republic

Are you already longing for new Nico’s photos from Prague, Czech Republic? The Charles Bridge, the Cathedral and the Prague Castle are some of his favourite photographic subjects. And especially this perspective: the view from the centre of Prague to the Malá Strana district, where the main sights of the Czech capital are located. But […]

Bishop Jordan Bridge in Poznań | Poland

The first mention of the existing bridge over the river Cybina leading to Cathedral Island in Poznan comes from the early Middle Ages. Over the centuries, the bridge was destroyed and rebuilt many times until 2007, when it gained its current form. A bridge of Iron The Bishop Jordan Bridge in Poznan was named after […]

25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon | Portugal

25 de Abril Bridge (“Ponte 25 de Abril”) is one of the symbols of Lisbon. From the many hills of the Portuguese capital you can admire the sixth-long suspension bridge in Europe. For us living in the Belém district, it is an usual but never boring sight. The history of the “25 de Abril Bridge” […]

Super moon over Lisbon | Portugal

After weeks of Covid Self-Isolation, this photo marks a turning point for me. In early June, my friend João reached out, asking if we want to shoot the super moon here in Lisbon. Well, to be honest, I didn’t feel very inspired at that time. That whole lockdown took its toll on my creativity. But […]

Half-marathon in Lisbon | Portugal

Did you know that you can pass 25 de Abril Bridge on foot only when you participate in half marathon in Lisbon? The route for the half-marathon was even changed so that runners can pass Tagus river. The marathon starts on the south bank and finishes in the north bank (in Belem district). Sports in […]

The Öresund Bridge | Denmark
Öresund bridge is connecting the capital of Denmark Copenhagen and Malmö – the Swedish city. Øresund is the longest combined rail and road bridge of Europe, but this is only one of the interesting facts about it.
Wine and cheese | Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon delicacies always test the health of our bodies – in particular, our liver. With so many quality bottles of wine and cheese, it’s very difficult to survive just even a day, without trying one of these or better yet – the duo combination…
Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT) | Lisbon, Portugal
Have you ever wondered what MAAT is and what it stands for? This is an abbreviation of the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology. The purpose of this modern building is to be a space for international dialogue, critical thinking and debate. Located on the coast of Lisbon in Belem, it is easy to reach and is a must-see!
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.
The Helix Bridge | Singapore
The Helix Bridge in Singapore; a design inspired by human DNA. This was something very difficult for me to imagine, even before I had actually seen it. This connection of science and architecture stunned me, and I felt that I would not be able to return to Berlin without capturing this rare composition.
The 25 de Abril Bridge and Christ The King statue | Lisbon, Portugal
The 25 de Abril Bridge connects the city of Lisbon with the municipalities of Almada. It is the 32nd largest suspended bridge in the world. During the day, you will see that it appears as a dark red colour and it reminded me so much of the Golden Bridge in San Francisco. Just behind 25 de Abril Bridge in the municipality of Almada stands a statue of Jesus Christ – as its name emphasises – “Sanctuary of Christ The King”.
