Comparing towers
I took this image on a rainy day during my second trip to Paris.
Here we have a modern tower representing the modern capital of France: office buildings made of concrete, glass and steel.
In the background you can see the Eiffel tower, built from 1887-1889 for the World Exhibition as a memorial landmark for the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
At that time, it was the highest building on earth. 324m of pure iron. Really a world wonder. Until, in 1930 the Chrysler Building in New York took over the label “highest building of the world”.

Welcome to Metropolis
Guess, what’s behind this wonderful door.
It’s the entrance of a machine hall in a coal mine!
About a year ago I posted some color images from there.

4000 Volt * 2
When I was walking through that machine hall, it felt like visiting Metropolis, the dystopian city created by Fritz Lang in 1927 for this fantastic movie with the same name.

1 + 1 = Love
Come with me ….
Come with me
down to the beach.
Look at the wind,
play with the sand.
Lie down in the sand
watch the dancing sand corns.
But, Dress you well,
to keep out the chill.

Christmas rose
Christmas time means winter and thus we have cold weather, snow, ice-covered lakes and rivers. Temperature are far below 0°C (32°F).
But, this tiny plants are blooming in this uncomfortable time of the year. It’s called Christmas or snow rose (Helleborus niger), because of the blooming time. 
This year’s summer was extremely hot and dry. Over summer, many plants died because of the lack of water. Also the Christmas rose. All leaves were laying flat on the ground. There was no hope of seeing any blossoms this year or even see the Christmas rose surviving this hard time. The image above is from last winter.
But, surprisingly, the leaves are standing upwards again and many white blossoms are currently blooming 😳 What a surprise!
