Lichtgitter in Raum

This is what you see when you stick a camera underneath an art display hanging from the ceiling. Captured at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam back in September 2015. The work of art on view here is Lichtgitter im Raum by Heinz Mack.

At one with the animals

What a cute place to sit and relax! Spotted this in a park in Budapest, when I visited there in September 2015.

Cologne Cathedral: Stone analogs

Stone analogs

The Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is a magnificent structure looming over the city centre, just outside the doors of the main train station.

Given its sheer size, it’s no surprise the church is seemingly under constant renovation. The last two times I passed by, in September 2015 and September 2016, there were obvious signs of repair work being done to the building’s exterior.

As you walk around the complex, you’ll notice a workshop toward the back of the church, home base for the people who keep the structure in good repair. That’s were I was able to snap this photo of some very appropriate masonry, captured on my 2015 stopover.

Suspension bridge in Frankfurt, Germany

This is one of the bridges across the Main River in Frankfurt, Germany. Captured this as I passed thru there in September 2015.

Intriguing figures

As far as abandoned buildings, go, this is a neat way to treat the windows. Spotted in Prague back in September.

Tree

Some of the playful art hung on the fence at the playground outside the Hillhurst-Sunnyside Community Association in Calgary. Captured this in late spring 2016.

Lounge chair

Free public wifi along with a bunch of artful, colourful chairs like this one … it’s as if this neighbourhood space in Prague is asking for you to hang out.
