A staircase composition with lines to each of the four corners (German: "Eckenläufer") is what you usually strive for, but it rarely works out.
The Port House is one of Antwerp’s architectural jewels. This funky and innovative building is the headquarters of the Antwerp Port Authority that accommodates over 500 employees. The striking and contemporary superstructure in the shape of a diamond is a monumental design of the famous Zaha Hadid Architects.
Technical note: The building is ~50m high, so I had to decide whether to retain the original shape of the building or avoid converging lines (not having access to a tilt-shift lens).
No trip without staircases 😉
While Graz is not known for spiral staircases there is one which is very special though. A double-spiral staircase - two flights of staircases, running in opposite directions, join for some steps on each floor, separate again, join again... The architectural masterpiece of 1499 has often been interpreted as a symbol of eternity. Graz people call it the "stairs of reconciliation". If you go separate ways, you will reunite.
Kata Tjuta - The Olgas.
A 6 shot vertical panorama of The Olgas or Kata Tjuta (Aboriginal name meaning "many heads"). Taken with the Z7 + 24-70 f2.8S at 31.6mm, f9, 1/80sec, stitched in PT Gui.
To get a sense of perspective, Kata Tjuta is about 550mts high and in comparison the Eiffel Tower is 324mts high, It is about 30kms from Uluru (Ayers Rock) and both can easily be seen from each other. There are 36 domes that make up Kata Tjuta over an area of about 22sq km. It is not until you see Kata Tjuta in person that you realise how huge they are, the same with Uluru (Ayers Rock).

Five floors of ornate Art Nouveau ironwork and blue-white wallpaper stacked into a perfect rectangle — standing at the top of this stairwell felt like looking into an endless, elegantly decorated well.
One of my absolute favorite staircases in Hamburg!
It is a very small spider with 4-6mm size and spins a net with only about 12cm diameter. In contrast to the body, the head part is yellowish-brown and the males still have a small black stripe on the side.
The pumpkin spider is the most common spider in Central Europe. She does not have to hide from enemies, because she hardly noticed by the bright green color. It has its habitat mostly in bushes and shrubs.

Es ist eine sehr kleine Spinne mit 4-6mm Grösse und spinnt ein Netz mit nur ca. 12cm Durchmesser. Im Gegensatz zum Leib ist der Kopfteil gelblich-braun und die Männchen haben noch einen kleinen schwarzen Streifen seitlich.
Die Kürbisspinne ist die am häufigsten vorkommende Spinne in Mitteleuropa. Sie braucht sich vor Feinden nicht zu verstecken, weil sie durch die knallgrüne Färbung kaum auffällt. Sie hat ihren Lebensraum zumeist in Buschwerk und Sträuchern.

There is a certain silence in old stone and wrought iron. Every step feels like an echo of the feet that have climbed here before. Finding beauty in the geometry of the past.

Dear friend, unfortunately, I will have to undergo surgery again. Doctors have found in the biopsy a small cancerous tumor, less than 6mm, so they will have to remove the entire lung lobe to prevent recurrence.
The surgery will be done tomorrow, so I will be some time off. Luckily I feel very well and strong to face this situation.
Many thanks to all for your visits and words of support. See you soon here on Flickr

Merry Christmas and a peaceful holiday season to all my Flickr friends! 🎄✨🎄✨
Chasing Frankfurt staircases with Lara.C. 🌀🌀
In German: "Samstag is Badetag". This refers to a time when households had limited access to hot water and only had tin baths. Which is probably something that no one can remember or imagine nowadays.
In this case, the bathtub made it even more challenging to photograph this staircase in a busy hotel. Photographer's version of "If you can't beat them, join them": if you can't eliminate a distracting detail, incorporate it into the composition!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

St Paul's Church (Paulskirche) in Frankfurt has evolved from a place of worship into a memorial and monument. It is the birthplace of German democracy and the site of the first freely elected German National Assembly in 1848.
... or simply: GOAL !!! ⚽⚽⚽
After Germany's magnificent win yesterday and their successful World Cup qualification, this image was just too perfect 😄
Even though it has nothing to do with football, but is a picture of the sculpture "Sphere" by Danish artist Ólafur Elíasson.
"The eight-tonne, ten-meter diameter spiral ball Sphere in Munich downtown shopping center Fünf Höfe is not to be missed: if you stand below it and look up, you are looking into a distinct space, the interior of the ball. Ólafur Elíasson wanted this work to symbolize the interconnectedness of our world."<(i>
The Stuttgart City Library impresses with its breathtaking architecture and is considered one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. Around 500,000 media items are on the shelves of the 11 floors.
The moment when you are looking for a nice framing of your staircase shot, the door next to you opens, a celebrity looks out and says "Servus" (Bavarian greeting) - this makes the staircase an unforgettable experience 😄⚽
Actually it's a staircase from the stars, which you walk down to leave the Mercedes Benz Museum with its more than 1500 exhibits on 16500 m².

This is one of the few staircases where you don't need to worry about taking top-down shots 😄
In its heyday, the Wiblingen Monastery library contained roughly 15,000 volumes—more than some contemporary university libraries possessed.
The precious books were removed from Wiblingen at the start of the 19th century due to secularization. However, the exceptional atmosphere of the hall has been preserved.
