Along the lines of 'our love will be forever', couples are attaching their locks to the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne, Germany. The Hohenzollernbrücke (Hohenzollern bridge) is right past the Cologne train station and the Cathedral (Kölner Dom) and became a place of pilgrimage for lovers.

When I hear "modern art", I think of Malevich's Black Square and the most random objects that I would never consider "art". A lot different with the Modern Art Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. It is HEAVEN fornphotographers. And even though there are indeed some random objects, there's still a lot more than that to discover.

A park that looks like a garden in some places and like a wildlife sanctuary in others, massive modern brick building appearing out of nowhere behind some trees, artworks by Cézanne, Matisse and Schwitters among a mix of ancient sculptures of the Khmer and from China – believe it or not, but you'll find this unique mix at Museum Insel Hombroich in Neuss, Germany.

A very small, cosy café in an old, beautiful street in Gießen.

There are a lot of restaurants, pubs and bars in the Oldtown of Düsseldorf, Germany. I want to introduce you to my favourite: Space Burger! If you are looking for tasty, fresh, huge and crazy burgers and want to dine in a trashy atmosphere, you should go there!

A day at the world's biggest trade fair for photography and imaging industries. This year in 2010 over 1200 photographic and imaging suppliers used the space in cologne which offered about 200.000 squaremeters to introduce new and present amazing products, both for professional and consumer imaging... One of them was the Lomographic Society International!

Waiting for a UPS packet turned to a great walk at the Betriebshof Lierenfled with some nice pictures!

Frankfurt is just the fifth-largest city in Germany, but Frankfurt has the biggest and nicest skyline in Germany and maybe Europe. The towers of the important banks dominate the sky. People are always thinking that Frankfurt is such a large city, but that's not really true. "Only" 670,000 live there. Anyway, if you're walking between the skyscrapers, you'll get the feeling of being in New York or Tokyo. But the traffic is more quietly. All the of Europe-German money-business is taking place in that towers.

The Volksgarten in Düsseldorf is part of the Südpark, which is with 70 ha the biggest park in Düsseldorf. The most impressive art sculptures are the Zeitpark, which was build for garden show in 1987, and the big colourful monsters (dragons?) which are indispensable for the orientation in Düsseldorf (car driver: "Ah, I saw the dragons, I know I am at Volksgarten!"). It can be reached via Tram or S-Bahn, the stop is also named "Düsseldorf Volksgarten".

Fancy a time out from the hectic urban life or maybe just a stunning view of the skyline? Some instant holiday-feeling without being too far away? The Rhine meadows might be the place for you.

The perfect location for a perfect day in the sun.

I've fallen for the Cologne Zoo. The reason is quite simple: it's a real eye-catcher!

The Frankfurt Fleamarket is definitely something that should be on tourist guides. It is a magnificent display of other people's lives - what they had, what they want. Anything and everything can be found here, from sinks and horse saddles to your kinder surprise collections and fur coats. And of course - analog cameras!

Back in 2005, the city of Frankfurt has been presented with a wonderful gift from the Republic of Korea - a real Korean garden! It is a wonderful place to discover among the jungle of skyscrapers known as the Frankfurt Skyline.

If you are just passing Oberbilker Markt via one of the main roads, you might not be aware that hiding behind all those fancy office buildings, there's a park.

I am not sure if I am correct, but a lot of natives call this THING not the cathedral, but simply the Dom. And this is not a simple cathedral nor a church it is a huge and massive and saint building, that captured my breath after the first eye-glance.

Luxembourg, Luxembourg. A small country in Europe with unknown beauty and wonderful places to see. Here I will only talk about the Capitol of Luxembourg. Which in fact calls itself Luxembourg as well. The City has an population of about 85'000 inhabitants. Which makes it a very small city but still there's a lot to see. Also Luxembourg City is very close to cities like Brussels, Paris, Cologne,... . So should you ever be close to Luxembourg don't hesitate to give it a try.

Public transport in Wuppertal is a unique experience, and also quite an adventure, especially if you're scared of heights. To get in and out of the swaying carriages of the Schwebebahn („floating train“) takes a bit of strong nerves but you'll be rewarded with a fun ride and (more or less) exclusive views into people's backyards – keep your camera ready!

Every year in summer the gay pride takes place in many cities in different countries all over the world. It remembers to the riots of Stonewall in New York (1969). Here are some Diana shots of the colorful demonstration In Düsseldorf, Germany!

Lierenfeld Betriebshof is located at the Lierenfelder street and at the moment the newest depot for trams in Düsseldorf. It's not a sightseeing spot but this makes it even more interesting for me to discover!
