[Daily Photo] Nuremberg Frauenkirche, Germany / 德國紐倫堡聖母教堂

Share this :
I took this photo in Nuremberg, Germany. The building, Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche in German) is an example of brick Gothic architecture. The clock of the church is called "Männleinlaufen", a mechanical clock installed in 1509 showing the Holy Roman Emperor with the prince-electors surrounding him.

[Daily Photo] Rothenburg outside the window / 窗外的羅騰堡

Share this :
I was in the city hall of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany with my friends. We were on our way to the top of the town hall tower. Then I saw this interesting window on the staircase with a beautiful city view. I took this photo quickly and then keep going up to the top of the town hall tower.

[Daily Photo] A red train in Frankfurt Central Station / 法蘭克福車站月台

Share this :
This photo was taken in Frankfurt Central Station, Germany. The architecture of the platform hall was spectacular. It was the first day of our journey. We arrived Frankfurt Central Station at 6:00 in the morning, visiting the nearby area and then taking a train to Mainz before lunch time (The train in this photo was not the train we took).

[Daily Photo] Cologne Cathedral at night / 德國科隆大教堂夜景

Share this :
The building in this photo is the famous Cologne Cathedral (in Cologne, Germany), which is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. We arrived at this Cathedral in the evening, and stayed until night to take the night scene photos. The architecture is so magnificent and the decorations are very delicate.

This is the famous Neuschwanstein Castle in Schwangau, Germany. Neuschwanstein means "New Swan Stone". It is a palace built for Ludwig II of Bavaria. This photo was taken from a suspension bridge on the hill.

[Daily Photo] Heidelberg Castle and City, Germany

Share this :
I went to a conference in Heidelberg, Germany many years ago. I took this photo from the Old Bridge over Neckar River. Heidelberg Castle is on the hill, and buildings along Neckar River are Heidelberg City. The crane in this photo is really annoying. It seemed that there was always construction in every signature view in Germany during my trip.

[Daily Photo] Dock on King's Lake / 國王湖上的船屋

Share this :
This photo was taken at  King's Lake (Königssee in German), Germany. When I took this photo, I used a Cokin graduated blue filter in order to enhance the color of sky. As a result, it added some unnatural purple color to the sky. It took me some effort to remove it. You can still find a little purple color in the sky.

[Daily Photo] Heidelberg Castle Ruin

Share this :
I took this photo in Heidelberg, Germany. My friends and I were visiting the Heidelberg Castle that day. I love the old ruin of castle because it shows the trace of time and gives me a desolate feeling.

[Daily Photo] Rhein riverside

Share this :
My friends and I were on a boat tour on the Rhein River in Germany, from Baharach to Boppard. There are many castles built along the riverside. The castle in this photo is a hotel (You can see the word "HOTEL" on the rock below the castle if you look closely). I hope one day I can stay in a castle hotel like this one.

[Daily Photo] St. Bartholomä Church

Share this :
This is St. Bartholomä Church in  Germany,  located on the western shore of King's Lake (Königssee in German). We took a ferry across the lake to get here. It was in mid-September. We were supposed to have cool weather, so we left our heavy jackets in the hotel. Nevertheless, it was very cold in this area. The wind was chilly, and we only had cold sandwiches for lunch. Although we were cold and hungry, we really had a good time here.

[Daily Photo] A beautiful signboard in Rothenburg

Share this :
I was in Germany for a conference many years ago. Three of my colleagues came with me. We had a very good time there. I took this photo in Rothenburg, the most beautiful place of my trip in Germany. Almost every shop had a special signboard hanging on the wall. I think this shop maybe provides some drinks. What  do you think? (Thanks to Jessica, I now know it is a drugstore!!)
