City Views #94: Friedrichstrasse II


This is another view of Mülheim’s Friedrichstrasse, but this time much further down at the point where it crosses the Wilhelmstrasse, on which the tram track follow in this older photo from September 2003. There are some lovely old houses on this corner and it’s not far from the river – if you go only about 200 meters down the Wilhelmstrasse, you’re right at the riverfront. I’m not entirely sure, but it’s possible that both streets were named after Kaiser Wilhelm II, whose full name was Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert von Preußen.

Sealess Seagull


I really didn’t expect to encounter a seagull on the supermarket parking lot this afternoon, since it’s actually pretty far away from any water. I thought I saw some seagulls flying over shortly before, but then there was this one waddling along. I have no idea what sort of seagull it is exactly, but I’m at least certain that it is one in the broadest sense judging by the webbed feat and beak/head shape.

The Trees and the Sunset


It’s hard to get a clear shot of a sunset here in the city, but this looks nice too.
