A diehard fan of the controversial English soccer squad has a funny football haircut during the World Cup events in Frankfurt, Germany June 20, 2006. Hooligans were difficult to rein in but Germans proved a professional host to the Games. Germans were not only hospitable but also perfect World Cup administrators.

A hippo in Berlin zoo is swimming by a watchful family whereas the astonished kids are trying to touch the passing animal from behind the glass. The zoo is one of the most marvellous and fantastic zoological havens I have ever seen.

An aerial view of the Danish capital Copenhagen or locally known as "København", shows how pretty the urban context in Scandinavia is.
The dome of the German Parliament, Bundestag, in Berlin is a major attraction to many tourists visiting the "Deutsche" capital. In the photo you see a long line of people waiting before the Bundestag building to get inside and view the stunning glass dome of the construction. It took me two hours to make it inside but got amazed by the Gothic architecture combined with postmodern construction of the Dome.
A charming country cottage by the lakeside. The dream chateau is the one that the countryside Swiss tend to live in.

A haven of peace and serenity offered by the Lucerne countryside, central Switzerland. Visiting the unparalleled paradise is a must for residents of the earth, let alone those of outer space (lol)!
