The ancient city of Speyer is dominated by its impressive Dome, a marvelous piece of romanic architecture, containing the tombs of the former staufer emperors. In the city there is also an interesting fountain, with a defeated golden dragon. The city looks back to its more then 2000 year old history and offer several touristic attraction and interesting photo-themes.
The detail images of the dome have been taken with a 300 mm Nikkor lens on a D200.

Frankfurt newest shopping mall has the name “myZeil”, where “Zeil” is the street where this new remarkable piece of architecture is located. The building is the latest work of the italian star architect Massimiliano Fuksas. The building has hardly any straight line and is built mainly by curved two dimensional planes built by triangles. It remember me to 3d-computer graphics or to the complex ceiling of the “Sagrada Familia” dome in Barcelona, Spain. For sure the futuristic building attracts hundreds of photograhers who discover always new angles from this master piece. I took most of the images with the 10.5 mm Nikkor, currently one of my favorites lenses as you may see in this blog.

As I took this image it was evening, some sun trays found their way through the intense forest and appeared just for few minutes in front of my camera.
