Orbiter
Orbiter 3 inside the Gasometer, Oberhausen.
This thing is hUUge! There is a lift on the hull of the Gasometer and you can travel all the way up to a platform to see the Orbiter from above. This was absolutely amazing. Traveling up and down felt like being in some Star Trek movie. The one in which they approach the docked Enterprise in a shuttle.
Needless to say I nearly wet my pants, because I'm such a wuss when it comes to heights.

Union Brewery
The former Union Brewery in Dortmund. A massive building that is still most impressive although already partially demolished. The remaining part apparently is under reconstruction. Click on images for massiveness.
More about it (in German) here and here.

Bergbau-Museum DRI
I just planned to take some test shots today to play around with DRI.
This is what came out and I feel like sharing it because it's actually surprisingly good for a first try.
As usual, click on the image to get a bigger version.
