Crossgenerational Project
Some of the members of a project group stand in front of the Philosophicum, a former building of the Frankfurt university that was erected between 1958 and 1960 at the city’s Bockenheim district. They are planning to buy and convert the edifice into a house for crossgenerational living.
Crypt
The crypt of the Frauenfrieden (Women’s Peace) catholic church in Frankfurt, March 26, that was completed in 1929. It is regarded as an example of interwar modernist church architecture in Germany and was meant to represent a prayer for peace in stone and and to serve as a memorial for the fallen of World War I.

(Canon 5dIII, f 5.0, 1/25 sec.. Taken with my new EF 2.8 70-200 L IS II. Am pretty unimpressed though by its performance so far. My ten-year-old 2.8 70-200 L IS seems to be on par…)

Big Blast
Frankfurt’s 116-meter university tower comes down in a blast, Feb.2. The tower was built in 1972 and demolished 42 years later using some 950 kilograms of explosives. It was one of the biggest such operations in Europe.
Qatar
Just went through my archives for a client and stumbled upon this shot that I took in Qatar about two years ago. Qatar will host the 2022 soccer World Cup. A strange idea…
