The blue illuminated part is Yan'an Viaduct Road (延安高架路). Taken from the footbridge at that intersection. Here Yan'an Road also changes it's designation from West Yan'an Road (延安西路) to Middle Yan'an Road (延安中路).

Combined from 3 exposures, each 15 seconds long.

447 443

A closer view towards the altar of the late renaissance Michaelskirche in Munich.

Munich - Stauwehr Oberföhring by Markus Bahlmann

525 498

As seen from the western Isar bank. The weir was completed in 1924. It's purpose is to raise the water level of the Isar river by 6 m and divert most of the water into the Mittlere-Isar-Kanal, which on it's lenght of 64 km supplies in total 7 run-of-the-river power stations with water.

This is the upstream side - downstream of the weir is a popular bathing place.

708 515

Another one from 2018, BW conversion this time.

Revisited this place for the umpteenth time...

The world famous lobby view in the Grand Hyatt Shanghai, located in the Jin Mao Tower. Shot from the 85th floor - at the "bottom" is the Patio Lounge, located on the 56th floor - and above is the observation deck on the 88th floor.

Augsburg - Fischertor by Markus Bahlmann

358 343

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... 😁

Shanghai - SWFC and Jin Mao by Markus Bahlmann

The Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC) and the Jin Mao Tower. In the background the twin towers of Shanghai IFC, the Pearl Tower and the Bank Of China Tower. To the right the new elevated walkway.

In the marshes of the island of Usedom, near the town of Karlshagen - sort of "in the middle of nowhere".

Oberschleißheim - Sunset at the Regattastrecke by Markus Bahlmann

602 662

"Normal" version. Stand by for even more... 😁

Actually the lens some people call the "nifty fifty" never had too much appeal to me, it proved always either "too long" or "too short".

Carried it just to fill the gap between the 18-35 and the 80-200, in that case a good choice...

The Regattastrecke Oberschleißheim (Oberschleißheim Regatta Course) is an artificial lake that was build for the 1972 Olympic Games as the rowing and canoe sprint venue.

The lake is 2,230 metres long and 140 metres wide. Since 2018 it is under Denkmalschutz (scheduled monument, historic landmark).

It is still used as training facility for local rowing clubs and for related sports events, e.g the World Rowing Cup 1997 and the 2007 World Rowing Championships.

Munich - Magdalenenklause by Markus Bahlmann

440 393

The Magdalenenklause is a hermitage, designed as an artificial ruin, located in the Nymphenburg Palace Park.

The purpose of the building was to serve as a memento mori for the Elector (Kurfürst) Max Emanuel - he was supposed to visit the building and contemplate the transience of being alive and a ruler.

Unfortunately Max Emanuel did not live long enough to see the building completed - sic transit gloria...

Here's a winter view

Munich - Westfriedhof by Markus Bahlmann

657 449

Revisited. The subway station "Westfriedhof" (Western Cemetery) on the border between the districts of Moosach and Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, along lines U1/U7.

Pretty popular photo location for obvious reasons...

The blue walls (remainders of the slurry wall that was used during construction) and the 11 huge lamps of 3.80 m diameter each give a very special atmosphere. The lamps do have yellow, red and blue lights, so each section has a slightly different atmosphere.

Oberschleißheim - Double Sun by Markus Bahlmann

540 332

Before sunset in the park of New Schleißheim Palace.

Unfortunately the park closes long before sunset.

The New Schleißheim Palace was built 1701-1704 by Enrico Zuccalli for the Elector of Bavaria, Maximilian II Emanuel, who expected to become emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and therefore felt the need for a representative new residence.

Bad luck: Maximilian II Emanuel never became the emperor...

Freising - Cathedral by Markus Bahlmann

378 358

The cathedral of Freising was built in Romanesque style from 1159 to 1205. The steeples are 56 m tall and one of the landmarks of Freising.

The interior was reworked several times until the final Rococo style it has today was reached around 1724.

Munich - Tiny Garden Flowers by Markus Bahlmann

Another flower macro.

Scharfe Sachen by Markus Bahlmann

465 288

Sorry to my English speaking friends, this title does work only in German - the German adjective "scharf" means both "sharp" (as in blade) and "spicy" (as in chili). The noun "Sachen" means "things".

Opinel "Effilé 10 Olivier" and some chilies.

Zugspitze - Teeth by Markus Bahlmann

These don't bite, though...

Except you count frostbite...😁

Ice teeth on a rock near the summit of the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain.

Munich - The Birdman by Markus Bahlmann

326 234

Donaustauf - Walhalla by Markus Bahlmann

414 280

From the side. The Walhalla memorial is a hall of fame that honours distinguished people "of the German tongue".

The idea for such a memorial is from (at that time) Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1807. The building in neoclassicistic style, modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, was finally begun in 1830 and completed in 1842.

Volkach - Marktbrunnen by Markus Bahlmann

403 440

The Marktbrunnen (built in 1720) and its Immaculatastatue, located on the Marktplatz in Volkach.
