City Views #167: Street Panorama VIII


To cap off the panorama series, here’s one that is not actually a street panorama, since it was taken from our upper kitchen window. It shows the west side of the Eduardstrasse – you can see the residential buildings across the street on the left, the gym hall with the school and the houses which you saw on the previous photo further down. And of course you can see one of the inner city highrises looming in the background. I debated if I should post this one in colour just this once, but since it’s only beginning to get a little green it was still better in black and white.

A big daffodil from a front yard somewhere in our neighbourhood, shining like a sun on a stalk :-).

City Views #166: Street Panorama VII


After looking down Mülheim’s Eduardstrasse, in this test panorama we’re looking up from the lower part. The houses on the left side actually belong to the block where we live in, on the right you can see the school and one of the older houses. It looks a bit barren here in the winter, but in the summer it’s actually very green with all the trees around.

Blackwing the Pirate Pigeon


It’s not really a good photo, but I had to post this almost black and red-eyed pigeon that looks a little pirate-ish. And I swear that these two were just peacefully sitting there even if it doesn’t look like it!
