Frankfurt is more than just a city

Frankfurt is one of the busiest cities in Germany. I was there last October 2010 to visit my relatives. Although the city is far from where we live, we used to go there to shop and shot (as in taking pictures). There was a time that I'm with my cousin Ate Feli, and planned to play with our SLRs. It was also one of her wishlists to just go there, catch a glimpse of sunset, skyscrapers, and other interesting places to look at in the middle of a fast pace, tourist-filled metropolis.

The place is interesting because of what story lies beneath those infrastructures. Let's say for example, the padlocks. Lovers from everywhere share their token of love by engraving their names and anniversary dates in a padlock, then fastening it on the rails of "Eiserne Steg" or The Iron Footbridge. Talk about sweet vandalism.

Another fascinating site in the city is the skyscraper where you can take a good shot from the railway, far from where busy people, lovely shops, and delectable restaurants are. You can just imagine how rusty, unpleasant and old the railway looks like, better yet, appreciate what's in front of your camera.

The most funny thing I encountered there was when we, (auntie and cousin), almost got lost finding our train going to Palmen Garden. The railway system is crazy! I mean trains are almost everywhere in the country. Good thing they speak the language, because if I'm gonna be alone there, Google translator will be tired of me. ahahaha...
