The Externsteine are a distinctive rock formation located in the Teutoburger Wald region of northwestern Germany, not far from the city of Detmold at Horn-Bad Meinberg. The formation consists of several tall, narrow columns of rock which rise abruptly from the surrounding wooded hills. The name probably means "stones of the Egge".

The east side of the famous Berlin Wall became an open air gallery. The paintings are a tribute to peace and freedom. It's also the largest section of the Berlin Wall that remains. It's a must see, a landmark and my favourite place in the city of Berlin! You won't want to miss it!

There's this little place that draws me in every time I go out of the house. Everybody in Bielefeld knows it: the "Siggi". It's a good place for everybody to hang around, meet friends, have a drink, and even discover a great analogue find!

In search of abandoned buildings for a Lomo session, I came across the Schöning Villa in nearby Vlotho. During my research on this mansion I have, in addition to the history of the villa, also came across another name - "House of Pain". On a sunny Sunday, Evalina and I made our way to explore the "horror" villa.

Planning to spend some time in Dortmund ? The former "Steel City" is now a good place for shopping and culture. Dortmund has a lot to offer...much more than a hot cup of Starbucks coffee.

The Rheinpark in Duisburg is a quite new created park near the Rhein. Its opening was in May this year with a big party and a lot of good music. It’s positioned between the two quarters Hochfeld and Wanheimerort. There are already a lot of reasons to go there but the park isn't finished yet. There are plans to double the size of the park.

Calling the Tippelsberg in Bochum a "mountain“ is a bit of an exaggeration – but even with a height of only 150 meters, it still offers a great view over the Ruhr area. Follow me as I visit one of Germany's oldest tourist attractions.

The Hawerkamp in Münster is a meetingpoint for musicians and other artists. Not only once a year does the Vainstream Rockfestival take place there, but also a lot of small concerts in locations such as Sputnikhalle, the Triptychon or the Fusion Club, which can also be found there as well.

My favorite patch of greenery is a forest called the "Wildwald Vosswinkel". It's a big, private forest that is great for having a wonderful day away from the city, which also means, away from traffic.

A wonderful spot right on the Wiehengebirge. Although one could also think that they were vacationing somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Do you need some good ideas for your Christmas gifts this year? Yes? The annual huge Christmas market in Essen is a damn good place! Every December, the downtown of Essen is fully decorated with colorful lights and Christmas trees everywhere. You can find nearly everything here. Good wine and food, awesome art, culture, and a beautiful Christmas atmosphere. I love this time of the year and it was a good moment to try out my new Lomo Fisheye No. 2 and the Lomo Color Negative ISO 800.

Holga, Diana, SX 70 and Horizon entering Hollywood. If you want to make pics like in the glorious old times of Hollywood-Movies... you could do it without spending a lot of time and money. In Warner Brothers Movie parks you'll find back stages, facades and streets where you could imagine that gangsters, Bonny&Clyde or John Wayne have passed. And if you don't go there on holidays or on Sunday, take your time, until people have left the place you want to make your pic - you can make photos like in the 60s or 70s there. And if you take a portrait-film, and the good old SX 70 for your Polaroid-camera, you'll get the sweet colors which fit perfectly to your motives.

A really nice place to spend quality time with or without your children and a great opportunity to take some funny pictures of your favourite animals.

Zollverein in Essen was the largest modern colliery of the world. This industrial complex was designed in symmetrical Bauhaus Style, and formed the heart of Essen's quarters - Katernberg and Stoppenberg, where most of the miners lived in small houses or flats, with gardens on the back to cultivate potatoes and vegetables, have a goat for milk (this goat they called "miners cow"), and sit there after work to smoke a pipe and talk with the neighbors.
