No traveling without staircases 😄 Netherlands and Belgium have amazing ones.

A staircase composition with lines to each of the four corners (German: "Eckenläufer") is what you usually strive for, but it rarely works out.

Fancy lookup in Amsterdam

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.

Same staircase as yesterday - bottom up view

The historical clock tower ("Uhrenturm") is the landmark of Graz, the regional capital of Styria.

Zoom in to enjoy the beautiful details including the super-defined starbursts on the Christmas trees (thanks to my beloved Laowa lens) 😊

 

Merry Christmas and a peaceful holiday season to all my Flickr friends! 🎄✨🎄✨

 

Chasing Frankfurt staircases with Lara.C. 🌀🌀

The Mother of all Munich staircases 😊

Fancy light installation in a new building

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>

Chasing Frankfurt staircases with Lara.C. 🌀🌀

 

This is one of the few staircases where you don't need to worry about taking top-down shots 😄

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 😄⚽

  

Munich subway station

Kate Bush was running up that hill - I take the stairs instead 😄

To take you with full swing into the new week 🌀😊

The series about Munich subway stations ends as it started - with an image of the amazing "Candidplatz" station.

 

This image has been taken from the opposite end of the platform which has a very different look and feel in terms of color. Comparing the two images clearly reveals that a significant part of the track including passengers in that area is hidden behind the column.
