Mainhattan Skyscraper Festival

The last weekend(12-13th May,2007) Frankfurt celebrated Skyscraper festival.This is an event which usually occurs once in four to five years.This time too people enjoyed to the hilt.The skyline of this commercial capital of Germany has its varying shades and spectacles in different hours of the day.If you are roaming around the streets of city center in lazy afternoon,the reflection of summer sun in glass facade of these giant buildings gives a beautiful view.When darkness of night falls on them they have altogether a different story to tell, specially marvelous view that one gets from the banks of river Main, is awesome.The dim-lit plantations along the gently flowing river,light shimmering from boats on surface of Main and music played by roadside artiste create a perfect setting.It infact compliments Mainhattan's grandeur.



The two days festival attracted people from all corners of the world.There was lot to offer to people who came to enjoy this event like stage shows, street festivals, hot-air balloon rides and spectacular extreme-sports such as base and bungee jumping.The sky walking gave an opportunity to explore various 'Hochhause' from close quarters and view of the 'Innenstadt' from rooftop is breath-taking.

All high-rises opened their doors and rooftops to invite the world to celebrate the city's magnificent skyline. The beauty of Mainhattan reached its pinnacle in night and magnificent firework in night was mind-blowing.

great quips...good source material...excellent article...Crista married into the family and goes to Germany to visit her 80+ yr old Mom every year...the family house in Germany is like a fairy tale landscape and probably if you sat awhile on the rocks around the hilly location, you could hear them speak to you...
