Tag: Frankfurt am Main
Sachsenhausen below Me
Frankfurt suburb Sachsenhausen as seen from the 22nd floor of the hotel we were staying over the weekend – at 10 pm and at 10 am the next morning.
Plane Spotting
When we drive up to Frankfurt we are on the autobahn A5 which passes directly under the flight corridor of one of the runways of Frankfurt Airport. Since it is a very busy airport we usually see at least one plane either taking off or landing or sometimes being directly under so we have no idea whether we are coming or going let alone whether it is coming or going. If the weather is favourable I have my camera ready and hope for a clean windscreen.
This is not taken from a car but from a small hill about 5 km away from the airport and a bit more than 15 km from the Frankfurt skyline.
Rhein-Main
That’s the vista from the castle ruin in Königstein in Taunus. Frankfurt’s skyscrapers are about 20km away, and behind them in the distance are the hills of the Odenwald.
Merry Go Round
Since one of the words in Paula’s Thursday’s Special Pick a Word was CONTINUITY I thought I start with a circle because every photos has two of the words in it.
The Red Mosque situated in the palace gardens of the Schwetzingen Castle is turned inward with continuing elements: INWARD + CONTINUITY.
The Walderdorffer Hof in Bensheim, build around 1395 is considered to be the oldest completely preserved half-timbered house in the southern part of the state of Hesse: CONTINUITY + REFLECTION.
One of the high rise buildings in Frankfurt am Main, a stronghold of the European banking industry: REFLECTING + STRONGHOLD.
Veste Otzberg on a hill in the Odenwald was built as a stronghold and can only be reached on foot: STRONGHOLD + PEDESTRIAN.
Whether you consider the walk of this tortoise pedestrian or its whole demeanour pedestrian there is no doubt that this animal can turn inward if it needs to be: PEDESTRIAN + INWARD.
Thursday Special: Pick a Word
Make Sure to Hit the Trails
Frankfurt am Main has not a great reputation when it comes to beauty but undeservedly so. I found that there is green scenery and paths through it never far away.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Ground: sand, dirt, paths, walks, trails, roads
Bright as a New Penny
or as a new cent, rather. That’s the ECB building in Frankfurt, the European Central Bank.
