Moonstack #32

The moon is not up yet, so this is from two days ago… but it’s still the 44th anniversary of the first moon landing of Apollo 11 today. Original size, but a different processing method, looking a bit smoother.

Balcony Flowers #13


Just a cucumber flower with yellow and green tones. I’ll have to post more than one of this series per day, I’m already running behind and the balconies are really exploding with flowers now :-).

Hovercraft


Hoverflies are the more steady fliers of the insect world, but they are still very hard to catch with the camera. This is the best shot I was able to get yet – still not sharp and clear enough.

I can’t remember from which plant this was, but it’s happily curling around :-).

City Views #14: Rathaus


Before I show some other sights, I’m going to continue with some more historic buildings – this is Mülheim’s Rathaus. The current city hall was built between 1912 to 1915 and like many other buildings was heavily damaged in WWII, but rebuilt and expanded in the 1950s. The tower, visible from many places in the inner city, houses a historic collection of office machines. The city hall was recently completely renovated inside and outside – but this photo is from 2004 before the renovation, the only street-level view I could find.
