I went to Luxembourg on a bit of a whim.  I was headed to Germany and figured I should go check it out.  I didn’t really know what I was getting into, but was blown away when I got there.  Luxembourg City is a fantastic mix of old and new architecture, and the Philharmonie is absolutely stunning.  It is surrounded by white columns and flowing metal shapes.  I had the whole place literally to myself.  Granted it was January, but I didn’t see another tripod anywhere in the city over the course of two days!  There were a handful of tourists (apparently many from China) shooting handheld, but that was just a few people.  I felt like I owned the place.
