I had some problems with my old Powershot S2 recently and what better to get the camera going than trying to shoot some timelapse videos. This is the first one from three days ago – it’s ridiculously short because even at 20fps you need a vast amount of photos to get some length, but it looks amazing nevertheless.

It’s just a mundane street shot of Mülheim’s Dickswall from one of the two pedestrian bridges going over the street. I chose this one because it fits with yesterday’s posting – you can see the gap large between the houses on the right from where I took the other photo. More about the gap and what’s in there apart from the parking lot and the car repair shop at a later time.

Another one of the colourful corner.

It doesn’t look like it at all from this low angle perspective,
but these trees are actually standing on a supermarket parking lot :-).

The red rose trio.

This is really an odd end: Mülheim’s Eduardstrasse, where our family has lived for now over sixty years, is only a little over 250 meters long, but it’s north end is just a wall with a steep drop of about ten meters on the other side. I took this photo only a couple of weeks ago from the “other side” of the wall, down on the Dickswall – if there was a ramp or a couple of stairs to go up, I would be home in just a minute, but I actually have to go the long way around to reach the street. I still don’t know exactly how this curious bit of geography came about, but it’s possible that there were once houses standing there. The white-ish house corner on the left actually belongs to the block of houses we live in.

One of the smaller city pigeons – this one just wouldn’t turn around for a proper photo! :-)

The colourful corner :-).

The chrysanthemums were just an autumn gap-filler for the flowerboxes, but looked very nice :-).

Mülheim’s Wallstrasse is definively not Wall Street, but only a continuation of the Schollenstrasse I posted before. There is nothing particularly remarkable about the street except that there’s a medical center with several doctors and a chemist on the left side, where you can see the big A (for Apotheke) symbol. If you go all the way down the relatively steep street, cross the Friederich-Ebert-Strasse with the city hall on the right, you’ll end up right at the riverfront – it’s barely 400 meters from where this photo was taken in 2004.
