If you see Hanover's town hall for the first time, you think it's a palace or castle. But it's not, it a built as a town hall after 13 years of construction and opened in 1913. I love all about this magnificent building, especially winter shows it by its fairytale side, even more from the Masch Park side.

This one is my submission for #80 IN AND OUT OF FOCUS Challenge at @aligator_watercolor_community.
The Flatiron Building: Since its introduction as one of New York City’s first skyscrapers in 1902, the Flatiron has been a quintessential New York City icon that garners immediate recognition, beloved by both local New Yorkers and visitors alike. Floating above the intersection of two of New York City’s most famous streets, Fifth Avenue and Broadway, the Flatiron anchors its eponymous district. Its defining triangular shape emphasizes the building’s unique positioning while oversized windows frame unobstructed views in all directions that span the tree tops of Madison Square Park to the skylines of Downtown. Now, the Flatiron is poised to undergo a renovation that will preserve its historic exterior and simultaneously reconfigure its interior to meet 21st Century demands.

"I‘m taking my heart into my hands and finally started with the full imperial version of my „Summer in the City from above“. It’s a wonderful experience and great fun. More and more people appear which I haven’t planned 😂😂😂..."

Several times we've visited this gorgeous place. An unearthly beautiful valley with a wild and emerald green river and this gorgeous old double bridge built in the 17th century. Of course, I took an infinite number of photographs and that is very helpful now to get a feel for the right atmosphere. I'm planning a full imperial piece with a bathing scene from it and to get into the mood again I've done some washes to find the right colors.

Kloster Ebstorf -
Abbey Ebstorf
I spend my very first years at school directly next to the 900 years old Abbey of Ebstorf. I've always loved the clouds of pinkish blossoms around it and don't know why, but I've never painted this gorgeous historical place before, but I'm also sure, that more of it will follow.
The abbey was founded around 1160 as the Priory of Saint Maurice for the Premonstratensian Canons Regular by Volrad von Bodwede, Count of Dannenberg, and a nephew of Henry the Lion. By founding the priory, Volrad hoped to consolidate his influence over the region. It is mentioned in the records for the first time in 1197. It belongs to the six so-called Lüneklöstern (monasteries of Lüne) which became Lutheran convents following the Protestant Reformation.
After a fire in the 13th century, the house was given to the Benedictine nuns of Walsrode Abbey who established a daughter house there, and Ebstorf became a place of Marian pilgrimage (Marienwallfahrtsort). The abbey buildings, dating from the 14th century and built in a North German Brick Gothic style, are fully preserved today, as is the church, which still has the raised nun's gallery.

Spring arrives in Manhattan
Nearly ten years ago I've had a gorgeous stay during springtime in NYC and since this time I'm lost in love with this gorgeous city. We visited the MoMA and I was thrilled about the number of full blooming trees at 53rd street West NYC. I took many photographs but even without them, I would never forget the marvelous atmosphere.

The "Roter Sand" lighthouse, now a listed building, is a historic building northeast of the island of Wangerooge. The imposing and at the same time picturesque building with the eye-catching bay windows is located under the coordinates 53 ° 51´ 18 N / 08 ° 04´ 54 E in the North Sea. The well-known lighthouse is considered the first-ever offshore construction and has shown the way to ships for 97 years since 1885 with its two-wick oil lamp. ©www.roter-sand.de
