City Views #316: City Walk 11

30.12.2014 von Guido · Category: Blog, City Views, Mülheim


On the other side of the bridge and in the shadows of the highrise buildings (which are all out of sight here) is the Hans-Böckler-Platz. This is one corner of it – where the lawn with the pathway today is, was once a giant sandbox which no children ever used to play in because it was always full of dog poop. It was only recently turned into a bit of grass. This is also known as the windiest corner of the city, because even the slightest wind is catching between the highrises and creating a terrible mini-storm. But you have to go through there if you want to go to the postoffice, railway station or shopping center!

The shadow behind it was another blossom starting to open. Never had such a full Amaryllis before!

The snow-dusted maple tree – this is actually a long-exposure night shot because the snow had already melted from the branches in the morning. On the far left there’s also a bit of balcony with the christmas tree visible – look at the balcony rails for the amount of snow we got, maybe 1-2cm :-).
