Freiburg means "Free (or Independent) City".
A city that has been fighting for its freedom since its foundation in the 12th century as a free market.
A city that exudes history from every corner. A magnificent place on Earth that, due to its geographical position as Germany's southernmost big city, was under the rule of Austria, France, Sweden, and Spain before becoming part of modern Germany. And each foreign domination has left its memorable architectural mark.
I had no trouble finding subjects for my photographs. It was more difficult to decide from which position to shoot them, due to the huge size of the buildings and the small spaces between them.
Freiburg is a magical mixture of European architectural styles.
Freiburg is History.
Freiburg is Freedom.

The truest art is what we create from the bottom of our hearts. According to the norms of society, some of us are born with the talent to create art and some of us aren't. I completely disagree with this comprehension.
I believe every human being has her/his own unique way of expression and it is not necessary to be born with the talent of a poet, writer, painter, or composer. Each of us could express hers/his view of the world in words and pictures. And if you can't paint, dance, or sing, just describe your feelings, memories, and dreams in your own words and color them with pictures you have taken yourself.
This is the unique advantage of Hive over all social platforms.
Here, you don't have to pose as who society expects you to be. On Hive you can be yourself with all your disadvantages and no one will judge you for not following the "standard". Because on Hive there are as many "standards" as the number of the members of this blockchain society.
