City Views #152: The Old Factory


This is an old factory building right near the streetcorner which I shared two days ago. I don’t know too much about the history of this building, but it’s part of a longer complex of old factory halls along the Gerberstraße – which means literally tanner’s street – there used to be a lot of leather industry in Mülheim! Today these buildings are mostly converted into flats and offices, some have even been empty for decades.

Springflowers #34


I’m going to post two springflowers per day from now on because the photos are starting to pile up! Thanks to a fellow photographer over on Google+, this is no longer unidentified – it’s probably a Pieris Japonica, or at least one of the many Pieris variants. These are even growing over in California!
