Christmas Things


It is still sort of Christmas here in Germany, because the 25th and 26th are both holidays here. This is just a bit of fun with the seasonal decoration, I took this in case I ran out of photos :-).

Moonstack #113: Christmas Edition


I actually got a peek at the almost full Christmas Eve Moon yesterday after midnight, but it was too cloudy to take decent pictures and I only got a fuzzy mess. But then, after a day full of rain, the skies were suddenly clear this evening – so here’s the rare Christmas Moon of 2015.

Moonstack #112 – The One before Christmas Eve Edition


Since it’s absolutely pouring down here today on Christmas Eve and I have no chance whatsoever looking at tonight’s full Moon, here’s yesterday’s instead – which was not bad at all too!

Tree’s Up 2015 – Christmas Eve Edition


Merry Christmas, everyone! This is actually from December 17 because it’s so windy today that it’s impossible to take a good photo of the tree right now. And it’s really warm – almost 14°C/57°F! I hope everyone has a nice holiday – here in Germany, presents are actually given on the evening of the 24th, so Christmas actually begins today for us and December 25 and 26 are both holidays.

City Views #493: Bus Tunnel


This is the tunnel that runs right below the combined bus and subway station in the inner city of Mülheim – close to the right is actually another huge tunnel with several different subway and tram lines going through it that make up the actual subterranean station. The passageway above connects the shopping center on the left with the above-ground train station on the right. The future of this tunnel is in doubt because there are no elevators, only escalators down to it and there is no room to build any! There’s even talk that the bus lines will have to go through there above ground, but that would be silly.
