some pics from the city I live in

[MissHoneychurch]

thought I share with you

Edit: On request: this is Frankfurt, Germany. The city lays on the river Main. The pictures were taken from a tower in the eving last week. You see the inner city on these pictures.








btw: I took the pics myself :D

1. Oooo. Wow!

[Kenneth ken]

2. nice pictures

you should have put some descriptive text with them so those of us who have never been to Germany have an idea what we're seeing. :)

What river is that in the third pic?

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

3. edited the OP

put in some more information about the city.

[Kenneth ken]

9. very cool

:)

4. Wow

Frankfurt looks awesome..

[MissHoneychurch]

6. at least in those pics

:)


but honestly, I like Frankfurt. I enjoy living here, even though I heard it is the most expensive city in Europe after London and Paris. In Frankfurt sits the European Bank. Frankfurt is a bank town. All the towers are bank towers. In Germany it is the only city with a skyline. it is a international city but still small enough to not feel lost.

5. Beautiful pics MissHoneychurch....

...they remind me of one I've got hanging on my office wall. It was taken by a friend of mine who was stationed in Heidelberg, and its of the beautiful castle there that is lit up during a celebration of when it was burned, I believe, on three occasions. He took it at night on an opposite hill and its very vibrant.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. I am sure it is

Heidelberg is a beautiful town and the castle is very impressive. Glad you like my pics :)

10. Lovely pics MissHoneyChurch!

Such majestic architecture, I'm in awe.

11. I miss Germany :(

Frankfurt and Berlin were such awesome cities. And I miss the autobahn :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Oh yeah, the Autobahn

I have troubles every time I am in the States driving on the highway. The invention of the cruise control was a blessin :)

13. Very purdy!

I'd take some high-level pictures of my town... but we don't have anywhere high enough... nor do I have a ladder long enough... ho-hum! :)

[KitchenWitch]

14. Gorgeous photos

You really have a great eye!

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Thank you

but you don't want to see the ones that didn't come out that good :)

[KitchenWitch]

17. I know what you mean

for every good shot I get, there are 2-3 that are pure crap. Thank goodness for digital.

[MissHoneychurch]

19. no digital here

I enjoy waiting for the pictures to get develop and the excitement to see if the the pictures came out good or not so good. But you are right, digi cams have their plus side too.

16. Great pictures as always, Misshoneychurch. They could almost console me

with that city... I know you like it but I really can't; but then I'm a small town person by nature and conviction:)

You are truly a very good photographer!

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

18. aww thank you neweurope

yes, I like Frankfurt. And it was a great evening that day, so it was easy to get some good shots.

20. Great pics Miss Honeychurch

I particularly like the older building with the high-pitched roofs - so very Old German - I'd imagine many of those buildings were restored after WWII ??

And the lack of skyscrapers is noticeable - is that intended ??

[MissHoneychurch]

23. actually I was standing on one of the skyscrapers

when I took the pictures. We have some in Frankfurt. Here is a picture of Frankfurt from a bit further away.



Frankfurt is btw the only city with skyscrapers in Germany.

[AussieDave]

27. It seems incongruous - the skyscrapers and the green fields

in the foreground - but I'm glad that those buildings have been restricted. They seem so out of place.

Thanks for sharing !!!

[MissHoneychurch]

29. to tell the truth

I love the skyline. It is something special for me. Everytime I see it I know I am home. This is the first city in Germany I lived in that I feel close to, that I can call "home". It is hard to describe.

[Call Me Wesley]

21. Very pretty!

The daughter of one of our neighbors lives there, too. Fun thing is, living kind of next door, I never was in Germany yet. Driven through or flown over, but that's it.

Great pictures!

[MissHoneychurch]

25. well now that you and Heidi know someone else here

you are more than welcome to visit Frankfurt. You sure have a place to stay.

[Call Me Wesley]

32. Thank you for the gratious offer!

We sure should explore Germany one day.

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Look at all that history in one place.

I envy you. Our old architecture includes building that are less than a hundred years old. Sad. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. some of the buildings got restored after WW2

a lot got destroyed during the war.

[Brewman_Jax]

24. G'day, MissHoneychurch

Great pics! Looks like a great place to hold a soccer tournament. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

28. That is going to be interesting

are you coming? :)

[Brewman_Jax]

30. If all goes well

I'll get to go. Me and my soccer teammate will be there. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

31. cool

you better are not trying to hide from me when you are here :D

[Brewman_Jax]

33. Hide?

me? Nope, I won't hide from you. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Wonderful

then I hope to see you when you are in Germany. When will you know if everything works out?

[Brewman_Jax]

36. Won't know 'til next year

I have a major reunion mid-July, so the game schedule is not a problem. Visited the West Coast this year, so I won't have to go next year. Provided the parents stay well and out of the hospital (they spent a few days there last month) and I'm not needed, I'll get to go in June. The only uncertainty is if Teacher plans a trip to China, which will likely be at least 2 weeks.

35. You took wonderful pictures.I would never run out of something to do there
