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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The city of Al Khor is located in the north of Qatar – only 57 kilometers from Doha. The town attracts locals, but also tourists eager for sandy beaches and exploring the nearby mangroves. Al Khor is not just a tourist town, however. 35% of Qatar’s agriculture is concentrated in this district. This is […]
If you’ve seen any pictures of Doha City Centre in Qatar, you’re probably already familiar with the Msheireb Centre at night, when it’s lit up in fabulous colours. During the day, however, this ‘city within a city is just as impressive. Msheireb Downtown Doha is located just outside the historic part of the Qatari capital, […]
We had the opportunity to visit Ingolstadt in Bavaria, Germany during our trip to Italy via Germany. Ingolstadt, had something special about it – on the one hand it is one of the oldest cities in Bavaria, and on the other hand it is a “wealthy” city when it comes to growing companies – especially […]
Shad Thames is one of the most famous streets near Tower Bridge on the River Thames in London. In Victorian times the biggest warehouses of London were located here. Over time, however, this neighbourhood began to decline. Until the 1980s, when the former warehouses were converted into luxury apartments. The name “Shad” is not […]
The Turning Torso in Malmo, Sweden is a neo-futuristic skyscraper and the tallest building in Scandinavia. It also has the distinction of being the first “twisted” building in the world. That’s quite a few superlatives for a structure in the Swedish town of Malmö. This view of the Turning Torso can be seen from the […]
This brilliantly colourful building in the centre of Setubal city is not a theatre or an opera house. It is the Town Hall – or “Câmara Municipal de Setúbal”. In the vicinity of this 20th-century monument, you’ll also find other gems like the Igreja de São Julião (Church of Saint Julian) and Casa da Baía […]
This photo of the city and Lake Como overlooking the Alps was taken during our “road trip” through Italy. The city of Como is only 40 kilometres from Milan, yet the views and nature around this place are different from the capital of Lombardy. Como city The town of Como was not always located where […]
This small Croatian town on the Adriatic coast has earned the title of UNESCO cultural heritage site. This is mainly due to the Venetian architecture of the Trogir’s town centre. However, it’s not only the centre and the Italian style buildings that deserve attention. Trogir Trogir’s dependence on different countries changes a lot during more […]
