Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany

This modern university building in Leipzig, Germany, mimics what stood there previously. Snapped this photo back in September.

Deutsche Bahn sleeping car

This is a view of the sleeping car hallway as we rolled down the track from Köln to Berlin … as seen with my smartphone camera through the peephole in the door. Shot on my travels through Europe this past September.

Arches over tracks, Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof

Here’s a view inside the train shed at Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, in some photos taken back in September 2015. I quite like how the roof is reflected in the windshield of the train waiting at Track 21, below.

Hamburg, Germany, seen from up high

When I can swing it, I pick a church tower and climb the stairs to some kind of observation deck at the top. The effort is usually rewarded with such a commanding view as this one in Hamburg, Germany, captured in August 2014.

Looking over the square

A view of Munich’s Viktualienmarkt and beyond, seen from the tower at St. Peter’s Church  in Munich. Another photo from my 2015 visit. (And I was into post-processed vignetting at the time, for some reason.)

Old wall

This tower along part of the old town wall protecting Oberwesel, in Germany’s Rhine River valley, now serves as someone’s home. Snapped this image while visiting in September 2015.
