Super moon over Lisbon | Portugal

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.

The National Palace of Culture (Congress Centre) in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The National Palace of Culture | Sofia, Bulgaria

After two days of being in Sofia, we looked on the map again to see what we could still visit.

This building is known as the National Palace of Culture in Sofia.

The square was built in the 19th century after the reconstruction of Vilnius Cathedral. It is now the biggest square of Vilnius, a former area dense with public renaissance and medieval buildings.

A beautiful view on the Helix Bridge, Marina Bay Sands and Art Science Museum.

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.

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”.
Berlin Rotes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) during the night, 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.
Night view of Amsterdam, Netherlands – View of the canal, boats and houses.

Amsterdam at Night | Netherlands

There are exactly 165 canals, so the decision as to which one to capture was not so easy. The composition though was always accomplished by the presence of several boats. The boats pictured above were rather small, in comparison to the 2,500 other house boats which were all around Amsterdam.
London Tower Bridge at sunrise, Great Britain.

Tower Bridge | London, England

The best time to see London City is just before the sun rises over this famous capital.

You could walk, breathe with ease and wait with excitement to enjoy the sun coming over the Tower Bridge.
Vienna State Opera – Night photograph, Austria.

The Vienna State Opera | Austria

It is not surprising that Vienna is best known for its Opera. The neoclassicist blast from the ensemble, with all the aura of history and prosperity, give this Hall a unique character. The Vienna State Opera in our present day not only displays performances of opera pieces but also ballet spectacles. Once a year, the Opera is transformed into a ballroom on the last Thursday of Fasching.
