Street

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 […]

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.   […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Camels in the centre of Doha; Qatar

Camels have always been friends of the Bedouins. These graceful animals can survive extreme desert temperatures, and lack of water even for weeks and can run several hundred kilometers a day carrying their riders bravely.   Today, when cars have replaced camels as transportation means, these animals are still the pride of Qataris and a […]

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, […]

Al Thumama Stadium - FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022; quarter-final matches

Al Thumama Stadium will host the matches of the FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022™, including the quarterfinals. And this time, this stadium, newly built in 2021, refers to the tradition of Qatar.   Al Thumama Stadium is located just 12 km from the Qatari capital Doha. Its distinctive architecture can be seen from afar as […]

Al Janoub Stadium FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022; Al Wakrah

Qatar is gearing up in full swing for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and one of the testaments to this is the newly built Al Janoub Stadium. Situated in the south of Al Wakrah, its shape refers to the tradition of this part of Qatar.   Qatar has received a lot of criticism: “Football is […]

Souq Waqif traditional market - Doha; Qatar

If you visit Doha, there’s no chance you won’t see the new West Bay city center. Keep in mind, however, that the “real Qatar” is not just modern skyscrapers, but also traditional parts of the city like Souq Waqif – the classic Arabian shopping market. There you are sure to refresh your negotiating skills.   […]

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 […]

Piódão in the Serra do Açor mountains near Coimbra; Portugal

Portugal never ceases to amaze us with its variety of landscapes and sights – and this is true even after two years of living in Lisbon. We had similar thoughts on our way to Piodão in the Serra do Açor mountains.   Piódão is a scenic village just a 1.5 to 2 hour drive from […]

London Shad Thames - restaurants and apartments; United Kingdom

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 road to Buckingham Palace ("The Mall") and the royal gardens; UK

Can you imagine a more quintessentially British scene? While Buckingham Palace typically takes the spotlight in photographs, our stroll down the iconic central street, “The Mall”, unveiled a captivating composition adorned with British flags and the familiar sight of London‘s iconic black cabs. Buckingham Palace Explaining Buckingham Palace to the English hardly seems necessary. Situated […]

Hundertwasserhouse (entire building) in Vienna, Austria

“Hundertwasserhouse” is one of the main tourist attractions in Vienna. And if you look at this photo and everything “ripples” in your eyes, it’s not just distortion by perspective. The lines of this apartment building are distorted and for a reason. Hundertwasserhouse a family name The name “Hundertwasserhouse” comes from the name of the spiritual […]

The medieval streets of Ferrara

Ferrara, in Italy is a half renaissance half medieval Italian town. It’s mostly known for sights like Ferrara Cathedral, Palazzio del Diamanti, Castello Estense and Casa Romei. But if you’ve gotten off the beaten tourist path in downtown Ferrara, you’ll find such charming medieval streets as the one pictured here. Sightseeing in Ferrara Nico and […]

Peniscola – a town between Barcelona and Valencia in Spain
Peñíscola, a small Spanish primary fishing village is located in the Costa Azahar – Orange Blossom Coast. It’s a great stop to visit when you’re travelling from Valencia to Barcelona.
Street art by Bordalo II in Lisbon, Portugal.
This bee by Bordalo II is not difficult to find. There are more of these sculptures with various other animals in Lisbon and some are more challenging to find. If you’re a street art lover, I can only recommend that you wander around Lisbon to find more of these beauties.
Cantina restaurant in Lisbon’s LX Factory; Portugal
LX Factory is like a separated small city in Lisbon. It is an old industrial part of the capital which was transformed during the late 90’s to a modern art site. In our day, it has become a paradise for street photographers and store owners who do not like the traditional concepts of commerce and restaurants with a typical style.
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.
The Bica Funicular in Lisbon on a sunny day, Portugal.
It is not only the Bica Funicular that makes this location so picturesque. The traditional yellow tram perfectly blends into the joyful homes of the Pombaline downtown of Lisbon, which dates back to 18th century. The view is accompanied by the beautiful turquoise water of the Tagus River down the street. It is definitely one of my favorite places in Lisbon!
Berliner Mauer – The Berlin Wall during the night.
Have you ever wondered what freedom means? The East Side Gallery in Berlin always gives a great reminder. In our modern day, it has now become a piece of history that allows visitors to walk by, to remain on the East side and within a moment – pass freely on the West side. I guess my generation is very lucky.
Ledra Street in the Centre of Nicosia, the Capital of Cyprus.
Ledra Street and Onasagorou Street are the beating hearts of Nicosia – the capital of Cyprus. A typical area filled with visitors ready to enjoy some Meze, during the early hours of the morning provided a very peaceful and serene atmosphere. If you would like to see this area at its quietest along with its dream-like surroundings, be sure to visit around sunrise.
Széchenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest, Hungary at Night with fog over the Danube River

Capturing the iconic Széchenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest during a gloomy November visit proved to be an intriguing experience. The days, short and dominated by a palette of grays, were accompanied by persistent rain and a shroud of fog, muffling the usual vibrancy of the city. Yet, this misty blanket brought with it a sort […]
