City Views #176: Fishy Ornament
I noticed this ornament on one of the older houses further up the street where we live – there’s a definitive nautical theme here, but I have no idea what this is really supposed to represent…

River Views #6: Water Inhabitants III
Here’s a better shot of the Coot I posted earlier, you can really see its strange red eyes better here. It was paddling past at quite an astonishing speed and I quickly lost sight of it.

City Views #175: The Real City Hall IV
The classic view of Mülheim’s Rathaus with the tower – I’ve tried to take a photo standing directly in front of it, but the perspective looks to weird and is even a little strange with the wide-angle lens of my camera here. Notice Joe Cool in the lower left having a noon smoke break under the arch :-).

River Views #5: Water Inhabitants II
Where there’s water around here, there are Mallard Ducks. We occasionally have other kinds of ducks around, but these are the most common. I saw this one paddling along the river – against the current! – in the distance and the colourful reflection of the trees on the other side made some nice photos.

River Views #4: Water Inhabitants I
Some Canada Geese swimming in the distance. I wished that they would have come closer, but they swam off to the left – I have a lot more great photos of these in the archives, though! The Canada Geese have been a big controversy in the last decade or so, because people were complaining that they were shitting on the lawns and eating the crops on fields – which only really happens in a couple of weeks a year when they’re breeding. They’re actually hunting these beautiful animals around here supposedly to keep the population down, but I think it has more to do with the fact that some people in this city simply refuse to work around the presence of the Canada Geese. There seem to be suspiciously less of them around these days…
