Spicy ministry

If you've purchased a city card, it buys you a free hour on the canals – and not just for the postcard stuff. As the boat slides past Christianshavn, the guide might not even mention this long, quiet wall of brick, but it is one of the most global pieces of waterfront in Copenhagen. In the 1750s Eigtveds Pakhus was the high‑security warehouse of the Danish Asiatic Company, stacked with tea, pepper, silk and porcelain unloaded from Asia right where your boat now passes. Today the same quay is home to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in those former store rooms and new glass offices above them, Denmark’s ministers and diplomats negotiate climate deals, development aid and EU policy with partners from around the world. One short stretch of harbour, two and a half centuries apart: first spices and silk, now summits and strategy.

Against the Sun: A Portrait That Wasn’t Meant to Be

ARC - I/S Amager Ressourcecenter

Amager Bakke (Copenhill) is a striking, angular building whose entire mass is wrapped in a shimmering “brick” façade of stacked aluminum panels, giving it an almost pixelated, industrial sculpture look. Its most famous feature is the sloping roof that becomes a full‑length artificial ski slope with green surface in summer and snow in winter, flanked by walking paths and a dramatic outdoor climbing wall on one side. Large, square openings and a clean, minimalistic profile make the plant read more like a contemporary cultural venue or art museum than a conventional incinerator, especially when illuminated at night. Behind this expressive architecture, the facility works as a combined heat‑and‑power plant, turning the city’s non‑recyclable waste into both district heating and electricity for surrounding households.

Mountain Goats of the City Zoo

Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) rest and climb here on the rocky “Steinbockfelsen” of Zoo Berlin, a structure that offers them many ledges, caves, and vantage points reminiscent of natural cliff faces. Their permanent horns grow throughout life and, together with specially cushioned hooves, allow them to balance precisely even on narrow outcrops. Family groups usually consist of females with their kids, while the more robust males with the longest horns often stay slightly apart and keep watch over the surroundings.

Visitors can learn more about this mountain goat species and its wild habitat in Central Asia on the zoo’s information page: www.zoo-berlin.de/en/explore-the-zoo/siberian-ibex.

City Rhinos

Bratislava is fortunate to have its zoo set on the slopes of the Little Carpathians, where fragments of the original forest still survive. Over the years, it has evolved from a somewhat austere yet child-friendly park into a modern and thoughtfully designed zoo. Its gradual expansion uphill has opened up remarkable viewpoints stretching from the southwest toward the city center, creating unusual and memorable scenes such as rhinos seemingly set against an urban backdrop.

From these vantage points, visitors can take in sweeping views of the Little Carpathian hills above the Old Town, from the castle plateau across to Slavín, as well as the Kamzík TV Tower and the striking building of the Slovak National Archives. The latter stands out as a distinctive example of brutalist architecture, designed by Vladimír Dedeček and completed in the early 1980s, known for its monumental scale and sculptural concrete forms.

Copenhagen from a boat

Morning light on Copenhagen’s inner harbour: the water sparkles, and the skyline turns into a simple, dark silhouette from Slotsholmen. You can make out Christiansborg Palace’s tower and the palace chapel, with the spire of Holmens Kirke further along the line. The contrast does the magic here — quiet buildings, lively water, and just enough detail to let you recognise the place without spelling it out.

From that rooftop: a Boatride

Berlin in one frame: power, history, tourism, and everyday life all politely squeezing into the same picture. The Spree with the boat is the city’s moving audience, gliding past politics as if the government were just another attraction on the route. The Reichstag in the distance anchors the scene: solid, slightly solemn, but now almost used to being photographed more than feared.

Over the Roofs of Tomorrow

The roof of Futurium in Berlin is both an accessible city terrace and a piece of environmental technology, conceived as part of the museum’s narrative about possible futures. Architecturally, it forms a shallow basin: the sloping planes channel all rainwater to a low point, where it is collected in a cistern and reused for cooling and other non‑potable purposes, turning a simple downpour into part of the building’s technical cycle.

Almost the entire roof is covered by a dense field of photovoltaic and solar‑thermal modules – sometimes described as a “solar sea” – which supply a substantial share of Futurium’s own electricity and heat demand and support its minimum‑energy, BNB‑Gold certification.

Unusually for a technology roof of this kind, visitors are allowed onto it: a skywalk leads around the upper edge, offering views over the Spree, the government district, and the Chancellery, so the public can literally walk on the energy landscape. A bit of trivia: the architects designed roof, façade, and technical systems as one integrated envelope, so the building’s futuristic image is inseparable from the way it manages sun and water.

Dystofuturium

Of course, it’s possible to take a more polished or descriptive photograph of the Futurium – one of Berlin’s most forward‑looking landmarks, a place where architecture meets imagination. Conceived as a museum of the future, it invites visitors to explore visions of science, technology and sustainable living. Its sleek glass façade mirrors both the sky and the city around it, symbolising transparency and an enduring curiosity about what lies ahead. Yet in the background, the faint silhouette of the S‑Bahn provides a striking contrast – an echo of urban realism, perhaps even a quiet dystopian whisper beneath Berlin’s gleaming promise of tomorrow.

Some time ago, I learned that there are two living kinds of hippos. The common hippo is the big, heavy river animal most people imagine first – noisy crowds in muddy water, huge mouths, a very “don’t‑mess‑with‑me” attitude.

The animal in my photo is a pygmy hippo: smaller, more compact, with smoother skin and a quieter, self‑contained pose. From my perspective, this isn’t just “a hippo picture”; it’s a portrait of the shy forest cousin of the common hippo, caught in a rare, calm moment in front of my camera. And what I like most is knowing that both hippos are, surprisingly, closer relatives of whales and dolphins than of cows or pigs.

Golden Tower

Standing 63 metres tall, Det Gyldne Tårn is a masterclass in thematic engineering, utilising a compressed-air system that ensures a consistent -1 G force regardless of rider weight—a technical nuance that distinguishes it from standard gravity-fed drop towers. While its white-and-gold aesthetic was specifically designed to harmonise with the Moorish-inspired architecture of the adjacent Nimb Hotel, the tower's summit offers a secret vantage point from which the Øresund Bridge is visible on clear days, physically linking the view to Sweden. Interestingly, the ride's "Space Shot" technology was pioneered by the same firm that revolutionised pneumatic launches, allowing the tower to "fire" passengers downward faster than a free-fall. This blend of ultra-modern physics and 19th-century visual storytelling perfectly encapsulates the "Tivoli style" that famously inspired Walt Disney to build his own theme parks

Stepping into Den Blå Planet feels like being slowly drawn into an underwater world rather than just visiting an exhibit. You move through dim corridors where the main light source is the aquariums themselves, so your eyes adjust to glowing blues and shifting reflections, and the outside world drops away.

Experience the surreal efficiency of Bratislava, where a morning commute feels like choosing between the office and an international escape. The city’s high-speed arteries pierce its heart, a practical blessing and an urban scar at once, making it tempting just to follow the blue signs toward Austria, Hungary, or the Czech Republic. The road embodies the tension between daily routine and the open-ended promise of a borderless Europe. In the background, the Kamzík TV tower dissolves into winter mist, more ghostly memory than solid landmark.
