Pantheon

The dome of the Pantheon in Rome, which was commissioned by Agrippa some 2000 years ago, is still the largest free-standing concrete dome of the world. Concrete - or it's recipe - was forgotten for many centuries as a building material. (scanned from a slide)

Caribbean History

TULUM: Tulum is one of the most recent Maya cities on the Yucatán Peninsula. It was still inhabited when the Spaniards arrived. Its architecture is not very sophisticated... Its the setting that makes these pyramids magic! Hints: If you want to visit Tulum sleep in a Cabana at the beach of Tulum. Its more romantic than a ressort or hotel. Go there early in the morning before the busses from Cancún arrive... Note: This image was scanned from a slide with Hamrick Vuescan on a Reflecta Crystalscan 7200 (Primefilm PF 7250 U).

History and Infinity

CHICHÉN ITZÁ: The Warriors Temple, the Group of Thousand Columns and the Market seen from the platform of "The Castle" or "Pyramid of Kukulkan", the most famous building of Chitchén Itzá. The Temple is of Maya-Toltec times, the columns are probably Toltec already... Hints: When visiting Chitchen Itza avoid Sundays, when admission is free for locals. Try to sleep nearby and go early before the arrival of the busses from Cancún. Note: This image was scanned from a slide with Hamrick Vuescan on a Reflecta Crystalscan 7200 (Primefilm PF 7250 U).

Neckar Arcades

The river Neckar seen through the double arcades of the medieval emperors castle (Kaisepfalz) of Bad Wimpfen. The rivers in this region probably wear Celtic names. So does the town of Wimpfen: "bin" = "mountain" and "uimpe" = "surrounded".

Sun above Wroclaw

A view of Wroclaw / Breslau from the Cathedral Tower across the Oder river, the Cathedral Island (Dominsel) and the Sand Island (Sandinsel) shortly before sunset. I am not the biggest fan of HDR esthetics, but under such light conditions bracketing is necessary. I was trying to keep it somewhat fotorealistic, I hope you like the editing.

Most Piaskowy

The "Sand Bridge" ("Sandbrücke") between the old town and the sand island from 1861 is the oldest still preserved bridge of Wroclaw (formerly Breslau) in Poland (formerly Capital of Silesia, Germany). The sand island in the Oder river is the oldest inhabited place in the city. In the background you can see the cathedral on the Cathedral Island. I took this photo single-shot and free-hand. Note the mosquitos at the lantern, you can estimate their velocity, given that this was 1/3 s of shutter speed... :-P
