Das lohnt sich jedes Mal. Zum Glück habe ich einige (5 glaube ich) deutsche Stadion erlebt. Und dazu auch eins in Italien. Viel Spaß bei deinem neuen Stadionerlebnis!

2/3 street. This scene reminded me of a similar photograph I was able to take in Paris years ago.

1/3 I photographed this in Esslingen, Germany on a drizzly afternoon. The yellow umbrella presents a bright exclamation point against gray skies and classical facades β€” part rain gear, part punctuation. I love how a single pop of color can change the whole mood of a....(continued).....

1/3 I created "Esslingen, Germany, Child at Play" after wandering the cobblestone lanes on a cloudy, briefly rainy, afternoon. It portrays a small moment of play between timber-framed facades and an empty cafΓ© β€” architecture and everyday life side by side.....(continued).....

I had hope that BVB could pull off a win in Dortmund. Sigh. So much for that happening. And so much for having any slight ray of hope of a title race this season. The race for 2nd is still on, though.

1/2 In these three Esslingen, Germany photographs, I depict a quiet town square where red shutters & half‑timbered faΓ§ades are the star while the cobblestones shimmer from the rain. Little green patches thread between the stones, and the blue sky peeks through after the clouds gave way...(cont.)...

Well since Kicker for the cover story is going with the Bundesliga team going *out* of the Champions League this week (rather than the team advancing), I'm glad the results this week aren't the opposite of what they are. πŸ˜€

The "difficult part" is likely an understatement 😁. Either playing Bayern for the umpteenth time between this season and last season, or playing #1 Arsenal. An Arsenal match in the BayArena with a Kai Havertz reunion would be interesting, though.

It's too bad BVB didn't advance. What are your thoughts, Derek, on Leverkusen advancing?

1/3 I kept circling back to Esslingen’s riverside β€” that trio of cypresses against the half‑timbered house definitely caught my attention. This photograph presents the lush foliage, the red roof, and the soft reflection on the river.

And if you like this photo, I’d love it if...(continued)....

There are such a thing as online idiots? Ok, even I have to laugh after saying that. 😁 I'm guessing the online idiots who spout rubbish about London are the same ones who are single, play video games way too much, are in their 30s or older and are still living in their parents' basement.

2/3 puncturing the clouds, and the river reflecting a softer version of the town. I like how the scene feels lived‑in and a little theatrical at the same time.

1/3 I stopped on a bridge in Esslingen, Germany, and couldn’t look away. And this was the second time that day I had been on that same bridge! Even though it was only a couple hours later, the scene looked different. The half‑timbered house leaning over the water, the church spire...(continued)....

If you like architectural quirks & a bit of medieval character on your wall, this one would make a solid conversation starter in a living room.

1/2 I shot this Esslingen, Germany, Gate Tower on an overcast evening β€” the red on the shutters really stand out against the stone arch & timber framing. The gelateria at the base adds a human scale that makes the tower feel lived-in, not museum-still.

By the way, if you like...(continued)....
