Many schools are named for Otto Lilienthal, the pioneer in aviation, particularly near Berlin, where he lived and tried out his gliding contraption.
I’m sure the first people seeing Lilienthal in the sky were as mesmerised as these onlookers – admiring a glider that flies through the air without motor.

The town on the left side of the river Rhine is called Worms which should explain the title. It used to be just one bridge (the right one) but traffic between the state of Hesse and the Palatium had become so much that they added the left one a few years ago and made each a one way bridge. I’ve just read that the older bridge dating back to 1953 has to be replaced in the next few years as renovation is not possible. However, only the part that actually crosses the water needs to be replaced, the new bridge will fit seamlessly with the old parts on either end. A perspective to look forward to.

I’ve used a panaroma shot of this housing development before and was asked why there are no real windows on this side of the building. I don’t have an answer. But I like the building nevertheless, at least from the outside.

A detail from a housing development. Now, let me put this in perspective:

In the distance there is Frankfurt am Main and if you take a magnifying glass you might see the skyscrapers that gave it the moniker Mainhattan (pronounced mine hattan).

The rule of three is not something that comes naturally to me. I had a hard time going through my old photos and look where editing might help. I’ve come up with two completely different kinds of shot.

And while I was remembering Munich yesterday, here is the statue of Bavaria – the lady and her lion who each year (except for this one) overlook the Oktoberfest at the Theresienwiese.

The Walking Man walks in Munich alongside the Leopoldstraße. I have to add non-square photos of the sculpture by Jonathan Borofsky to do it justice, though.
The photos were taken on the same day but taken from different sides excluding or including the greenery which makes for a completely different perspective.
