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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

View of the Fanar - Al-Fanar Islamic Cultural Centre; Qatar

That “spiral” tower in the photo is the “Fanar” mosque, which is part of the Al-Fanar Islamic Cultural Centre in Doha. It is probably one of the most distinctive buildings in the Qatari capital, but the mosque is not the whole complex…   Al-Fanar Islamic Cultural Centre is the older name for this cultural centre. […]

Msheireb Centrum Doha daily photo; Qatar

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, […]

Aspire Tower, also known as The Torch Doha at the Kalifa National Stadium; Qatar

We visited Aspire Zone in Doha to see the Khalifa National Stadium and the famous Villagio Mall with its Venetian canals. However, the first sight when we went out of the metro station that positively surprised us was the view of the Aspire Tower.   Aspire Tower, also known as The Torch Doha, is a […]

West Bay Panorama of Doha at night; Qatar

Qatar and Doha are unique examples of such rapidly developing countries. Can you imagine, for example, that only 30 years ago these skyscrapers did not exist? This part of Doha (the west coast) was pure desert. Here, where we think the city existed there was always just a village where the inhabitants specialized in pearl […]

Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) at night - Doha, Qatar

The Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) is a symbol of Qatar. You’re probably already familiar with the shape of this building if you’ve ever seen articles encouraging you to visit the capital of Qatar – Doha. No wonder – the architecture of this building, combining elements of ancient Islamic architecture and modern geometric design, reflects […]

Lafayette Gallery in Doha Heritage Village "Katara" - Doha | Quatar

The Doha Heritage Village is a place that manages to amaze one with its contrasts. On the one hand, “Katara” is designed to resemble a traditional Qatari merchant village. On the other hand, the entire complex has only been in existence since 2010 and is home to modern art and galleries such as French Galeria […]

Santana, cottages and flowers in Madeira; Portugal

Santana in Madeira is known mainly for its characteristic houses with sloping roofs covered with straw. These houses used to be used by farmers but today they are just a tourist attraction.   May is the month when flowers bloom on Madeira. Every year the island holds a “Madeira Flower Festival” at this time. In […]

Rococo interior of the Pilgrimage Church in Wies; Bavaria; Germany

The Pilgrimage Church in Wies was designed in the shape of an oval – it’s not just the perspective of this photo that has such curves. But when you look at the ceiling, does anything catch your eye?   The construction of the church in Wies was commissioned to Dominikus Zimmermann in 1745, who was […]

Historical Lisbon tram in Alfama, Portugal.
Who hasn’t seen any photos of a Lisbon Tram passing through the narrow streets of Alfama? I think it’s one of the popular icons in the capital of Portugal, much like the bikes are for Amsterdam.
Quinta da Regaleira Gardens and Initiation Well in Sintra, Portugal. View from above.
This inverted tower – Initiation Wells, is one of the most intriguing parts of the Quinta da Regaleira Gardens. Climbing this tower was much like climbing any other tower, the only difference is that… it is buried underground. Looking at this photo today now sends a shiver up my spine.
The National Palace of Culture (Congress Centre) in Sofia, Bulgaria.
After two days of being in Sofia, we looked on the map again to see what we could still visit. Just at the end of the Vitosha Boulevard, we noticed a gigantic space that appeared to be a park, with only one large building placed in the centre. This building is known as the National Palace of Culture in Sofia.
A beautiful view on the Helix Bridge, Marina Bay Sands and Art Science Museum.
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.
Windmills like De Gekroonde Poelenburg in Zaanse Schans in the Netherlands.
In our modern age, there are only 1,200 fully operational windmills in the Netherlands. Several in the “Old Holland” region, including the famous beauties from Zaanse Schans. Over a few centuries ago, there were over 10,000 windmills across the Netherlands and they were used to pump water out of the lowlands, to make flour from grains and to press oil from seeds or saw wood.
