Thanks a whole lot, John! It was very kind of you to give us an English edition of this series.

It's a very fine collection of photos indeed. Frankfurt looks impressive!

Europe's number one skyline

Pssst ... don't let the French or the Brits hear this!

What bothers me a bit is that Frankfurt has all these anglo names for its buildings and areas of town.

I also like the shots of the lower rise areas. But what is that horror in the top center in photo #28 View to the East??? That thing ought to come down, and the sooner the better.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I should post English version of my tour here but I was hoping that this maybe would attract more non-Lithuanian (e.g. German ) forumers. I'll post the rest of my series in English here as well.

I don't care what others think about what is Europe's No.1 skyline. After my visit to Frankfurt I don't have doubts anymore. Frankfurt clearly has got the best modern skyline in Europe and will be so for a long time to come

What bothers me a bit is that Frankfurt has all these anglo names for its buildings and areas of town.

I might not be very popular but I love the fact that there are so many English names. I fint it a very positive factor. The city (be it Frankfurt, Vilnius or Shanghai) looks much more international and open because of this
