Magic Letters: Metall

Wer oft in Frankfurt fotografiert, hat natürlich auch ein paar Fotos zum Thema Metall im Archiv. Mit seinen Hochhäusern aus Glas und Stahl, mit den unendlichen Blechlawinen im Feierabendverkehr und mit dem Eisernen Willen der Menschen, am Samstagmittag auf der Zeil einkaufen zu gehen ohne wahnsinnig zu werden, findet sich doch fast immer etwas metallisches auf den Fotos. Mein Motiv diese Woche war dann aber schnell entschieden. Es ist ein regelmäßiger Gast auf meinen Fotos, es ist die Fußgängerbrücke „Eiserner Steg“. Mit dem Namen, wie könnte ich da ein anderes Foto wählen?

PABUCA: wishes

This is the last PABUCA theme for 2014, so „wishes“ would mean wishes for 2015. Though I have no special wishes for me, as long as it stays more or less as it is. So I am showing the wishes I have for all people:

Find endless love!

Find a light that shines for you!

Find a place that keeps you warm!

 

PABUCA: zodiac

Just like so often I had planned something else for this PABUCA. I actually wanted to show three diffenent zodiac signs. But when I was looking through the pictures on the memory card, I found these three pictures that were screaming my own zodiac sign. So what else could I do…

Two love padlocks on the bridge Eiserner Steg

Two young swans on the river Main

And the Frankfurt Twin Towers, home of the Deutsche Bank

PABUCA: Architecture

New Tuesday, new PABUCA topic. This time it is all about architecture, so it was almost as difficult as expected in a town like Frankfurt. But I came to a decision and here are my 3 pictures:

First picture is, once again, the „Holbeinsteg“, with a part of the Skyline in the background.

Second is a shot from the escalator in the „MyZeil“ Shopping Mall, which has a very extraordinary architecture. A must-see in Frankfurt. Also in the shot are the Jumeirah Hotel Frankfurt (left) and the office building „Nextower“ (right).

Third for this week is another bridge called „Eiserner Steg“. Built in 1868 by local citizens (as the town officials did not want to finance a second bridge), rebuilt 1946 after world war 2 and finally modernized in 1993 to its current state.
