Frauke Langguth, Berlin Reichstag playground, Berlin, Germany

This is well known spot in Berlin, the Reichstag building, now the seat of the German parliament Bundestag. I like the atmosphere in the picture and in reality – although the building is the centre of German politics, you can still play soccer on the grass in front of it. In the background you can spot two building cranes, which is also very typical for Berlin for the last two decades.

Kathy Leistner, Banks of the Abash, Lafayette, IN

I took this photograph when I came back to my hometown to help my Mom after she had heart surgery. I grew up a few blocks from the Wabash River and in college I rowed on it with crew team at Purdue. Flooding from the river every spring is part of life in West Lafayette/Lafayette. Every day the river is different and always worth the time to look at it. The Battle of Tippecanoe took place about 7 miles outside of West Lafayette and it was an important waterway for the Native Americans in this area.

Panos Lambrou, Samos Town, Samos, Greece

Here is a photo of my home town Samos Town, Samos, Greece. The house I lived in as a child is the two story house at the bottom left by the sea. I took my very first photograph on the second floor balcony of that house when I was 10 years old with a Agfa box camera.
