City Views #183: Clouds & Traffic


Just an ordinary street scene from a couple of days ago, but the clouds looked perfect for a black-and-white treatment. This is Mülheim’s Dickswall seen from the left pedestrian bridge looking east..

Return of the Jay


We saw this Eurasian Jay yesterday picking around in the ivy across our balconies – one of them comes visiting every spring for a short time. We were not sure if it was trying to raid a nest or something, but it was loudly harrassed by a lot of other unseen birds, who were making loud clicking noises! After a while it flew off, obviously annoyed – this is the best photo I was able to take.
