Looking down Mülheim’s Kaiserstrasse – or up, depending on how you see it. The street actually starts in the north at the Kaiserplatz and then goes about 900 meters southwest until it becomes the Werdener Weg. But since the street actually goes somewhat steeply uphill to the southwest, we always say that we go “up there”. From this location you can still see the cluster of large trees at the catholic hospital and thanks to the tele lens even some of the buildings way down at the Kaiserplatz. I took this photo at the end of July of this year – there was just a lull in traffic at that moment, this street is usually extremely busy.

I can’t even remember where exactly I took this photo! :-)

Actually shot in the rain, but my camera survived it :-).

A rose with a visitor.

A new series in the City Views series, this time it’s a short walk up the Kaiserstrasse (literally Emperor Street, probably from Kaiser Wilhelm), one of the busiest streets in the city which at its northern end stops at the Kaiserplatz joining the Leineweberstrasse coming from the West and the Dickswall from the East. But this is the crossing three blocks up where it meets the Adolfstrasse (actually not named for a certain Adolf!) – at this corner, there’s a huge maple tree I’ve shown on some photos before. The building complex at the corner is the catholic hospital – some of it, the part after the gates next to the big tree, is supposed to be torn down and rebuilt in the next years. I don’t exactly know what the the little round building with the conical roof on the left once had been, but today there’s an ATM machine inside it.

This final one is shorter than the previous video, but it has some beautiful red tones from the sunset – which is on the other side of the house. All the timelapses were taken looking out to the east.

This photo perfectly sums today’s weather up. What else should you expect on a Monday? :-)

The leaves are mostly gone now, but here are some more wonderful memories.

Blooming chives at the end of September. I’ve still got about twenty nice photos for the Balcony Flowers series and I’ll just keep posting until I run out, even if most of these flowers are long gone now.

A surprise rainbow – hard to photograph because it was still raining :-).
