Two impressive views on the cityscape of Shanghai, China. The new Shanghai Tower reached its full height (632m) in 2015 and is now the second tallest man made structure of the world (right after the
Burj Khalifa in Dubai). The Shanghai skyline is completed by the Shanghai World Financial Center (492m), the Jin Mao Tower (420m) and the Oriental Pearl Tower (468m). All four towers are located in Pudong, which is surrounded by the Huangpu River (Huangpu Jiang). The view was pretty clear this day, not much smog between the city and the blue sky, which is not very common because of the heavy air pollution in China.
Nightview on the magnificent skyline of Frankfurt at night during the blue hour. 
Aerial view on the Nebelhorn (2224m) in the Allgäu Alps. 
Aerial view from a helicopter on the finished One World Trade Center aka. Freedom Tower, which dominates now the skyline of Downtown and also of whole Manhattan. Part of my book

It shows all the beauty that you can find compressed on the edge of flat land and mountains. In german we call it "Voralpenland" – the ground before the alps. You have a lot of small hills covered in wonderful green and some nice lakes there, always with the mountains as a beautiful backdrop.
So obviously this is the perfect place to be photographed from above. To do this I made a balloon ride and this was the view from the highest point of the trip – around 3000m.

Can you spot the famous Castle Neuschwanstein in this image? It is this little white thing in the bottom right corner.
In this image you can see the unbelievable mountain range behind the castle, which is located right at northern end of the alps. The shot was made from about 25km away in the first morning light in about 3000m height. This area is called the "Königswinkel", one of Germanys most famous tourist destinations, which delivers some unbelievable beauty. More photos from there soon. 
One of my favorite moments from my Shanghai trip: this surreal scenery with two cooks on a bus station. 
Magnificient nightview on NYC midtown.
