Frankfurt + daytrips in Germany and elsewhere
Ive recently moved to Frankfurt which is great as the city is really nice and also the center of a huge transportation network. From here I plan to make many day trips and long weekends to explore Germany and hopefully some nearby countries as well
So naturally I will be starting in Frankfurt itself. The main feature of the city is it's amazing skyline. Here are some panorama's of "Mainhatten" at slightly different times of day or from different locations: image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt skyline Panorama by barnyz, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt skyline Panorama by barnyz, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt skyline Panorama by barnyz, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt skyline Panorama by barnyz, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt skyline Panorama by barnyz, on Flickr |

As well as skyscrapers Frankfurt still has a few older buildings that have been reconstructed after the destruction during WW2

Lucky you. Frankfurt is a good place to be. Feels like being right in the middle of everything.

Thanks all for the kind comments. Frankfurt is very photogenic
Here are some more normal sized photos: Of course I had to visit the cathedral. The spire is quite visible on the skyline and is most impressive (shame about some of the surrounding buildings, however I believe they are reconstructing another set of pre-war buildings so hopefully this will improve the area) image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt am Main Cathedral by barnyz, on Flickr The interior was reconstructed after being devastated in WW2 image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt am Main cathedral by barnyz, on Flickr

Some of the many skyscrapers from ground level
image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt am Main by barnyz, on Flickr I like the contrast between the old stone buildings and the gleaming modern shinyscrapers image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt am Main by barnyz, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt am Main opera by barnyz, on Flickr Sir Norman Foster's Commerz Bank tower. Tallest building in Frankfurt I think image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt am Main by barnyz, on Flickr

In my first few weeks there seemed to be a nice sunset everynight. Hopefully at some point I will catch up with work and sleep and go out and take some night shots

thanks again for the kind comments. Frankfurt is great. Ive also been on a few excellent day trips which hopefully i can upload soon once I get a bit more bandwidth on my current crappy connection. In the meantime here some more normal pics from Frankfurt
The Romer, almost entirely reconstructed but its hard to tell image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt am Main Römer by barnyz, on Flickr It's a real shame they cant remove that round concrete thing that blocks out the cathedral from being more visible from the old town square. Nothing wrong with the building itself it's just in the wrong place image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt am Main Römer by barnyz, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Frankfurt am Main Römer by barnyz, on Flickr

First day trip out from Frankfurt was to Mainz which is about 40 mins on the local S train. I made the mistake of going on a Saturday. On saturdays there always seem to be big markets in all the town squares and places get very crowded so I didn't get to see as much as Mainz as I would like (of course if you like buying stuff and eating then Saturday is the best day for you!!!). Also a few churches were covered in scaffolding. Well I can always go back

Mainz is full of churches, in fact it seems to have more interesting ones than Frankfurt. On the edge of the city center is ChristusKirche. It has a grand exterior and sits nicely in a park
