Capturing a city in photographs is capturing its essence within a restricted space. Würzburg offers a lot to see and discover, especially for those who enjoy places rich in culture and history. Being in a historic city in Europe, though, sometimes you have to look closer to see all the quirks and details.
The city of Würzburg is situated in the heart of Germany at the river Main. It is blessed with many historic monuments, such as the Baroque Residence or the medieval Old Main Bridge. Situated at the river upon a hill, we find the Marienburg castle with a magnificent view over the old town. In the background, we can spot vineyards as far as the eye can see, due to the region being an important agricultural center for wine.
The Cathedral of St.-Kilian in the city of Würzburg is dedicated to the holy figure of St. Kilian. The church is 105 meters long, and it is the fourth most prominent Roman Catholic clerical building in Germany.
Vienna is commonly divided into twenty-three numbered administrative units, one of them being the rather posh 9th district, situated north of the old town. Living in Vienna, I am seldomly visiting this part of the city, so in the fall I use a sunny and quiet Monday afternoon to have a walk in the streets and parks of this charming neighborhood.
The natural beauty of Switzerland is vast and seemingly never-ending. The Alps, in particular, offer stunning views and a variety of different plants and environments. When the sun is shining, and the skies are clear, the colors are vibrant, and nature seems to be incredibly alive.
Lake Geneva is a water body situated at the border of Switzerland with France. It has a surface area of 580.03 km2 and is surrounded by major cities, such as Geneve, Lausanne, and Montreux. The pictures below were shot in Montreux, Switzerland.
