Orléans
The town of Orléans north of the Loire Valley in France is where New Orleans got its name!
Lugano
Terrific view next to an old-but-not-abandoned inclined railway in Locarno.
Saline royale d’Arc-et-Senans
It’s a bit off the beaten path, but if UNESCO says it’s worth a visit then it usually is.
What was really impressive is their museum dedicated to salt mining and salt production around the world.
Test Tower
The Thyssen Krupp test tower is just amazing.
The importance of elevators takes on a whole new meaning when you read the blurb from Thyssen Krupp’s website,
Over 70 percent of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. . . . A report from the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that cities will need to construct floor space equivalent to 85 percent of all of today’s residential and commercial building stock by 2025, making this one of the greatest challenges of our time.
Berlin-Wannsee Bahnhof
I was here to visit das Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz but this sign was the only thing I felt like photographing.
