Unnatural? No, It’s Called Architecture!

The central building of the Leuphana University in Lüneburg. The Kö-Bogen in Düsseldorf. The façade of the entrance hall of the Lorsch Abbey. I’ve put different texture filters over each one of the pictures. The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Unnatural Patterns

Hold on!

2011 rail c

From Koblenz there is a cable car across the Rhine leading up to the fortress Ehrenbreitstein.  For an even better view a huge viewing platform has been constructed up on the hill plateau.

And contrasting this rather large construction, here is a little detail on how to beautify rails – also close to the Rhine but in Düsseldorf.

Reach for the digestif

Stadttor

How many people does a building need to ingest before it will start digesting?

The building, known as Stadttor (City Gate), is an office building in Düsseldorf. From 1999 until 2017 the seat of the state-chancellery of the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westfalia was situated here but after the last election the offices were moved back into their former location.
