Following the Educational Trail

Recently we had equinox and as we are living on the northern hemisphere it was spring equinox. Traditionally this is the time when we go out and shoot a panorama for the World Wide Panorama (WWP). An event where we regularly contribute since 2005. The theme of the event was “paths”. Thinking about “paths” I finally thought of educational trails (Lehrpfad in German literally translates to educational path) which are very common in Germany. I did a search on educational trails in Frankfurt and found an educational trail of the faculty of geosciences/geography at the University of Frankfurt/M.

As I followed the trail I did several sphericals. The one I finally chose for the event shows a lovely spot near the old village center of Niederursel a district of Frankfurt/M.

Schäfflertanz at Marienplatz

Every seven years the Schäfflertanz is performed during the carnival. Schäfflertanz translates to “Dance of the coopers”. It is said that in the year 1571 the coopers started dancing on the streets to bring the inhabitants of Munich back onto the streets after a pest epidemic. Nowadays this habit is performed all over Upper Bavaria.

When I first saw this reprojection it suddenly reminded me of the computer game Frogger (sic, I’m gettin’old…).

Isar High-water Surfing

This panorama shows the standing wave at the Reichenbach bridge during the Isar river high-water on June 5th 2010. Lots of spectators watch the surfers and kayakers that try to ride on it. The wave is only present during very high water.
