At a Soccer Match

Supporters of Eintracht Frankfurt, the city’s first division soccer team, after letting off red flares during the match against 1. FC Cologne, Oct. 4. Frankfurt won 3-2. Of course, pyrotechnics are illegal in soccer stadiums but somehow they are brought in anyway.

Fair Tower

Frankfurt’s Fair Tower (Messeturm), seen through the branches of a tree (and from my balcony :-)) at sunset, Nov.11. Between 1991 and 1997, the 256 meter-high (840 ft) tower was the highest office building in Europe, which now I believe is the Mercury City Tower in Moscow (338 meters, 1110 ft).
