3 days of intense work to make this huge panorama of Cologne, Germany's fourth-largest city. This is a 360 degrees view, I tried to get as many details as possible, sometimes repainting different parts of the cityscape. The original composition is really big (almost 20.000 pixels wide!) because I assembled more than 30 photos. I took all of them when I was in Germany 2 weeks ago... (FYI, I didn't use any autopano or fisheye).

More facts: The city's famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Cologne. The University of Cologne (Universität zu Köln) is one of Europe's oldest universities.

Cologne is a major cultural center of the Rhineland and has a vibrant arts scene. Cologne is home to more than 30 museums and hundreds of galleries. Exhibitions range from local ancient Roman archeological sites to contemporary graphics and sculpture. The Cologne Trade Fair hosts a number of trade shows such as Art Cologne, imm Cologne International Furniture Fair and the Photokina. Cologne is also well-known for its celebration of Cologne Carnival, the annual reggae summerjam, and Cologne Gay Pride.

Within Germany, Cologne is also known as an important media center. Several radio and television stations, including Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), RTL and VOX, have their headquarters in the city.

Thanks a lot for your kind comments.

Came back from work late, this evening. It was pouring. The lights on the road were just gorgeous. While I was driving, i´ve decided to pull out my camera and shoot the light effects. Of course i knew i would not get anything worth it, eventhough i took my chance. Yes, they were all bad, but i like this one... it is an abstract painting by me. No photoshop, no filters. Just a plain shot.

Thanks KBoy for the title.

Zero Gravity Ride with effects: One of the rides at the Winter Wonderfest in Navy Pier, Chicago, IL where riders are titled at 45 degrees during the peak time for this ride as it spins.

I thought of taking this shot as there were other lights behind and in front of the ride that made these effects pop up

Im Swarowskihaus inder Innsbrucker Altstadt ist diese neue Kristall-Licht-Installation zu sehen, der Untergrund und mit ihm die Kristall-Stalakmiten wechseln wie ein Chamäleon die Farben.

In the new crystal-light-installation in the Swarowski House in Innsbruck's historical centre the colours of the spots in the ground and with it those of the crystal stalacmites is changing like a chameleon.
