In this shot of the German city of Frankfurt, I tried to capture the general essence of a modern city, which has become the economic capital of the European Community, housing the headquarters of the European Central Bank. The city was almost entirely rebuilt, as it was completely razed to the ground during the Second World War.
The picture shows the Main River in the foreground, with a floating bar-restaurant showing the recreational side of the river that crosses the city. A barge loaded with coal, a symbol of the energy that has fuelled German industry for decades, is lowered down the river, and in the background the city skyline shows a developed, modern city, with a skyscraper in the foreground, the work of the renowned architect Norman Foster.

En esta toma de la ciudad alemana de Frankfurt intenté captar a nivel general la esencia de una ciudad moderna, que se ha convertido en la capital económica de la Comunidad Europea, albergando la sede del Banco Central Europeo. La ciudad fue reconstruida casi al cien por cien, ya que durante la segunda guerra mundial resultó completamente arrasada.
En la imagen podemos ver en primer término el Río Main, con un bar restaurante flotante que muestra la parte lúdica del río que cruza la ciudad. Por el mismo baja una gabarra cargada de carbón, símbolo de la energía que ha alimentado la industria alemana durante décadas, y al fondo el perfil urbano que nos muestra una urbe desarrollada y moderna, con un rascacielos en primer término obra del famoso arquitecto Norman Foster.
Unless stated otherwise, all the pictures and the words are mine.
