A quick attempt at processing one of the sunset shots from about two hours ago. I’ll redo these at a later point as three-exposure HDRs, this is basically just playing around with one of the source images :-).

This is an old photo from 2004, but it’s a perfect companion to the previous City Views entry: standing in a street called Delle right beside the Berliner Platz with its mighty bank building, you can also see both church towers together, half-hidden behind lots of other houses. And on the far left corner of the photo you can even see one of the highrises. The building on the left with the arches belongs to the huge bank complex of the Sparkasse Mülheim, which was only built in the late 1980s.

I guess this hoverfly had its eyes on me, but it wasn’t disturbed at all by the huge lens :-).

It’s all gone pear-shaped… well, not everything, but these will be tasty too…!

This Mallow was a surprise. It was a leftover from last year,
some seeds must have fallen into the flowerbox and sprouted!

We have a lot of angry wasps around at the moment, but there are also some hoverflies, who are much calmer and friendlier. This one was poking around the basil flowers and let me get surprisingly close!

From about a week ago, now the first wave of red tomatoes has already been harvested :-).

Can’t … resist … the … Zinnias … ! :-).

There are surprisingly many locations in the inner city of Mülheim from where you can at least see the top of the two church towers. I took this photo a couple of weeks ago standing on one of the pedestrian bridges spanning the Dickswall, one of our most busy main streets.

Just trees and clouds. Or clouds and trees, if you prefer :-).
