Arches in monochrome

I have a thing for arches. There were so many beautiful examples of them in Lisbon, especially here at the Jerónimos Monastery. Photo taken in August 2016.

Blue skies

Looking up through the ruins of the Carmo Convent atop the hills of Lisbon. You'll find more treasures here. Photo taken in August 2016.

Black and white beauty

I just love how European cities always have such beautiful, old train stations. Lisbon's Estação de Caminhos de Ferro do Rossio is no exception. More treasures can be found here. Photo taken in August 2016.

Tiny treasure

A quick look inside the Our Lady of the Olives church in Lisbon. It's a tiny space, you could easily pass it by, but I'm glad I didn't as the interior is lovely.

I just love the traditional blue and white tiles. There were several scenes depicted along the walls. More treasures can be found here. Photos taken in August 2016.

Glowing

A beautiful shopping passage in Dortmund. Just look at all the details and those beautiful street lamps. More treasures can be found here. Photo taken in July 2016.

Den Haag

One of the many bridges you'll find in the Hague. For more treasures, take a look here. Photo taken in May 2016.

Struggle

Being Europe's biggest and most important port, the city of Rotterdam was almost completely destroyed during WWII. Stronger through Struggle is a reminder of the atrocities of the past, but also gives a hopeful look to the future. More treasures can be found here. Photo taken in May 2016.

Home of HAL

The Hotel New York is actually the former Holland American Line building. This is where the cruise line got its start. There were lots of interesting details throughout the building.

The Holland American Line initials could also be seen quite often. For more treasures, take a look here. Photos taken in May 2016.

Going down

You might not be able to tell, but this is an old escaltor with real wooden stairs! It was a long way down to the Maastunnel. 

Here's how it looks for pedestrians; cyclists have a separate tunnel. I didn't walk the entire span, but I found it quite interesting. There is a similar tunnel in Hamburg that I visited not so long ago. For more treasures, take a look here. Photo taken in May 2016.
