The same backyard as in my last photo, this time from a different angle from the lower part of the passage.
The German Embassy in Copenhagen resides in a building called Portland Towers. It is constructed on two old cement silos.
Copenhagen North Harbour used to be a tuff industrial area, but is now becoming one of the most fashinable and expensive areas in Copenhagen to live in.

The Externsteine is a distinctive sandstone rock formation located in the Teutoburg Forest, in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The formation consists of several tall, narrow columns of rock which rise abruptly from the surrounding wooded hills.
The site draws about a million visitors a year, for a variety of reasons. Most are tourists who come to admire the beauty of the majestic rock formations that jut out from the flat, forested landscape.
But it is not only a geological curiosity, Externsteine is also reputed to be an ancient and sacred palaeolithic worshiping ground, and an astronomical calendar. Therefore, Externsteine became a mecca for Neo-pagans, Neo-Nazis and neo-pagan-Nazis.
The pagan ceremonies held at Externsteine take place three times a year: on the longest day of the year (June 21), the shortest day of the year (December 21) and on Walpurgis Night (“Night of the Witches”) on April 30.

A Renaissance highlight in the Southwest of Germany.
Set in the scenic landscape of the Tauber valley, Weikersheim Palace (Schloss Weikersheim) lies at the heart of the small town of Weikersheim.
With its beautiful garden, the palace embodies the Renaissance ideal of a country estate.In 1586, Count Wolfgang of Hohenlohe took up residence in the former moated castle, and promptly ordered the construction of a new palace. With an unusual three-sided floorplan, the palace reflected the Renaissance style of the time, but foreshadowed the Baroque era that was to come.
The most distinctive feature of the palace grounds is the many Baroque statues that populate the garden.

This image shows a view from the beach to the pier at Zingst at the Baltic Sea. It was cold and a bit misty, an exposure time of 4 minutes led to this result. At the end of the pier there is the diving gondola.
Diesen Blick entlang der Seebrücke in Zingst habe ich an einem kalten Abend im November gemacht. Im Hintergrund sieht man die Positionslichter des Windparks vor Zingst. Eigentlich wollte ich mit der Belichtungszeit von 4 Minuten auch die Geisterbilder rechts vermeiden, das hat leider nicht geklappt! Also muss ich wohl beim nächsten Mal doch noch nachts raus, um den Anblick in voller Klarheit zustande zu bringen. ;-)
