Cities in Germany

Thanks for the very positive feedback so far guys. :)

Left Heilbronn around lunch time to glorious sunshine that remained with us whe we got to Nuremberg.


Got to our hotel and my room has a balcony with a view to the castle which is a mile's walk away

I took a stroll up to the castle to grab some evening shots as and after the sun set:

Thanks - I've been to Berlin several times but not treally photographed the holocaust memorial very much.
 
Pityt I can't make this any bigger on flickr, but for this pano of Chemnitz from my hotel's roof garden is 12 shots with the Pentax 645D and FA 120 f/4 all shots at f/16 and 1/4 sec. The full file is too big for a .tif file at 4.8 GB. It took 3 hours to process on my MacBook pro.

Took a walk down to local lake as the afternoon turned into evening:

This is a two shot stitch in CS5 and also using fusion in Photomatix. It's the Bridge over the Mosel (the other pano being the Rhine) in Koblenz

Mannheim's main sight is the watertower. This is a nightview of it and the Christmas market.

I got even more funny looks when I stood at the pedestrian refuge taking photos of the tramlines and the trams. Every other person was asking whether I was a photographer for the local paper
I converted this to Black and white in Silver efex

Am on a quick trip to the beautiful city of Cologne in Germany. Took a stroll in the cold after dinner to the Rhine where there is a great view over the river of the rail bridge and the Cathedral:

Back in Germany over the weekend, this time in Wiesbaden where we had wonderful weather and 30 degrees!


There is a stunning venue called the Kurhouse right in the middle of the city and either side of the Kurhouse were two collobnades, one is a casino, the other a row of shops.

Inside the Kurhouse itself there was a sweet postcard box:
