Weekly Photo Challenge: Grand


This image is my entry to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Grand. The gate on the left side of the image is called Holstentor (in english: Holsten Gate) and it is the landmark of the town Lübeck where I live. People who are interested about this beautiful and old architecture, might want to check out the article about the Holsten Gate on Wikipedia. While I know a lot about our landmark, I am actually little bit too lazy to prepare a complex and huge article. But I might hit that topic in the future too as I still have a lot … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Grand

The Red Sky


Time for a new photo. The husband of my mother took this photo of Lübeck´s sky in the morning from a highrise. But I edited the photo a little bit with an android app. I think I have shown you some of my Pixlr-o-matic images already in the past.

I really prefer it over Instagram. So, for sure I suggest you to try out Pixlr-o-matic! Continue reading The Red Sky

The photo is some months old and I remember that I didn´t have my own phone with me. The husband of my mother did take the photo and I got it later via WhatsApp and this is the reason why I do … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Horizon

A Beautiful Street in Lübeck and a Church


I walked through the historic downtown of Lübeck, like I mentioned yesterday. As Lübeck is a town of the medieval time and as Lübeck was the Queen of the Hanseatic League, you can still see the charm of that time in the architecture today. That´s why we call the old part of the city “Historic Downtown” or in german “Altstadt” here. On the photo above you can see a street called “Weberstraße” and in the background you see the church called “St. Aegidien Kirche”. The inner city of Lübeck has a lot of big churches from old times. There are … Continue reading A Beautiful Street in Lübeck and a Church
