Winter Migration 2014 #12


A cropped closeup which I had to process a little – but it still looks closer than I’ve ever gotten. But this also reveals that those don’t seem to be Cranes at all, but Geese! I think the wing and neck shapes give it away and although this photo is not detailed enough to see them properly, I think they might be Canada Geese.

City Views #289: Oberhausen 11


One more view from the bridge of Oberhausen’s Mülheimer Strasse crossing one of the main railway lines in the area. In this photo, another freight train obliged me with coming into the shot and you can also see parts of the Turbinenhalle complex in the background I showed on the earlier photos. The sign says OBERHAUSEN HBF 1200m – the main railway station is 1.2 kilometers in the direction the train is going. If you look at the Google Maps link I posted yesterday, you can follow the railway line to the west through the big triangle and to the south to see the station.
