A Johanneskirche Stuttgart ou igreja de São João é referida na literatura germânica como o edifício religiosa mais importante do século XIX em Estugarda. A igreja neogótica é a primeira igreja nova na cidade depois da Reforma, sendo que originalmente a sua torre tinha bastante mais altura.
O chamado Lago de Fogo, no centro de Estugarda, remonta ao século XVIII e foi construído originalmente como um reservatório de água para abastecer a cidade. Atualmente, o lago é muito conhecido pela sua variedade de peixes. Uma vez que a população de peixes no lago de fogo é tão grande e diversifica, de dois em dois anos, o peixe é totalmente pescado para ser distribuído nos diferentes lagos e parques em volta da cidade.
Uma das principais atrações do lago de fogo é a Igreja Protestante de São João, que foi construída em estilo neogótico, na segunda metade do século XIX. A igreja está localizada numa península do lago, e é atualmente, um dos destinos preferidos de muitos turistas. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, a igreja ficou bastante danificada, sendo totalmente reconstruída após o final da guerra, a torre em ruínas, ficaria inacabada. Assim, esta belíssima igreja do Lago de Fogo é agora utilizada como um memorial contra qualquer tipo de guerra, sendo muitas vezes referida como uma "a igreja sem ponta".
No século XIX, o lago de fogo foi enriquecido com uma outra linda atração, a grande fonte. Trata-se de uma das fontes mais poderosas do seu tempo, que atraiu inúmeros visitantes ao longo de muitos anos e, ainda hoje, fascina aqueles que a visitam. Este é um pequeno exemplo daquilo que podemos encontrar nesta bela cidade.
A historia do Cisne na fotografia, já é mais difícil de contar, visto não existirem referências da sua existência em lado nenhum, no entanto, eu atrever-me-ia a dizer que se trata da beleza lá do sítio, pois não se mostrou nada importunado com a minha aproximação, chegando mesmo a fazer pose e a desfilar para a fotografia, o que me leva a crer, que se trata de um manequim muito experiente e cheio de estilo que encontrou no lago de fogo a sua passerelle e o local ideal para se dar a conhecer.

Bellagio is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Como in the Italian region of Lombardy. It is located on Lake Como, also known by its Latin-derived name, the Lake of Lario. The arms of the lake form an inverted Y. The triangular land mass at the base of the inverted Y is the Larian Triangle. The Como arm of the lake lies to its south west, the Lecco arm of the lake to its south east. At the northern point of the triangle sits Bellagio, looking across to the northern arm of the lake and, behind it, the Alps. It has always been famous for its location.

The current Fischertor city gate was built in 1924, after demolishing the remains of a gate in this place dating to 1609.
The 1609 gate was actually a modification of a 1328 gate. The 1609 gate was nearly completely destroyed in 1703 during the War of the Spanish Succession, slowly rebuilt, but closed in 1770 due to lack of traffic.
As you can see from my middle-of-the-road point of view, there is still not too much traffic in 2022... 😁

Die anhaltende Kälte im Januar 2017 lässt den Main zufrieren. Hier ein Blick von der Alten Mainbrücke in Würzburg über den Fluss zur Festung Marienberg. Nur noch kleine Bereiche im Bereich des Wasserkraftwerks sind wegen der starken Wasserströmung dort eisfrei.
The persistent cold in January 2017 causes the river Main to freeze. Here a view from the Alte Mainbrücke (Old Bridge) in Würzburg over the river to the fortress Marienberg. Only small areas in the zone of the hydroelectric power plant are free of ice due to the strong water flow.
Nightly street scene on Sichuan Road (四川北路) in Shanghai.
In the center there is a 上海特产超市, "Shanghai Specialty Supermarket". This sells products that you'd get cheaper at other places, as so called "Shanghai specialties". At least this particular shop is cheaper than the similar themed rip-off stores around Yu Garden.

The ceiling frescoes in the Freising cathedral.
The cathedral of Freising was built in Romanesque style from 1159 to 1205. First change to the interior was the replacement of the flat Romanesque wooden ceiling by a Gothic vault ceiling during 1481 to 1483. In a further change during the Baroque period the Gothic vault ribs were removed, the final change was the Rococo decoration created around 1724 by the brothers Cosmas Damian Asam and Egid Quirin Asam.

"Spirit Island is a tiny tied island in Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park.
This landmark is the destination of boat trips across Maligne Lake, a view many people associate with the Canadian Rockies. Spirit Island enjoys worldwide reputation, and is one of the most famous and photographed views of the Canadian Rockies." (Wikipedia)
I drove past this scene last week and thought the contrasting crop colours would make for an interesting composition. I actually went out to shoot it at sunset on Friday, but the sun was not illuminating the scene as I wanted it. So it was an early rise this morning (5.15 am!!!) to get this with the sun just adding that golden tinge that I wanted.
St. Anne's Church (local name Annakirche) in Augsburg was built in 1321 as part of a Carmelite monastery.
After the protestants invented themselves, it became one of the first protestant (Lutheran) churches in 1548.
And no, Augsburg is no longer part of a Roman province, this is just this stupid location database causing a 2000-year time shift.
