<p>Commuters emerge from one of Chicago's metro stations into a dark night.</p>
<p>An elegant flat with improbably narrow top floors at the corner of Juncal and Montevideo. </p>
<p>Hannover's landmark Anzeiger-Hochhaus is one of Germany's first high-rise buildings. Clad in brick over an underlying steel frame, it dates from 1927 and was designed by Fritz Höger. It has long housed the editorial offices of local media outlets, and survived the aerial bombardment that leveled much of the city centre during the Second World War. </p>
<p>From the perspective of the Town Hall's tower, Gdansk's historic centre almost appears to be made up of toy houses.<br /></p>
<p>People take in the impressive view over Bergen and its harbour.<br /></p>
<p>Flagbearers watching the warm-ups at a 2009 match between Energie Cottbus and Hertha BSC in the Stadion der Freundschaft.<br /></p>
<p>A meta call to arms in Athens' Exarcheia district, referencing <em>La Marseillaise</em> via Serge Gainsbourg.</p>
