A look at Mülheim’s Freilichtbühne (literally: open-air stage) from the performers point of view.

The first big Daffodils have appeared in the neighbourhood!

The trees are already thinking of spring.

I was looking for some older photos to post when I realized I had never shown Mülheim’s Freilichtbühne in the City Views series – so here are a few shots from the archives from our city’s open-air theatre. It was originally built in the early 1930s in a former stone quarry and while it was almost completely dismantled during the war, it re-opened in the 1950s and until the late 1970s it was regularly in use for theater and music performances. Only in the last 15 years the stage with a capacity for 2000 people has been more regularly used, but the loud live music sometimes played there has been a bit of a problem for the immediate neighbourhood. I shot the few photos I’ve been able to findback in 2004 and I’m not sure what was being played here at this time, but it looks like some kind of children’s theater.

I think it’s time for a Daisy once again. They’re basically present all year around :-).

One of the first Maple tree shadows opportunities of this year.

Just a fun shot in between of two very old-fashioned chimneys on top of a house in our neighbourhood.

Struggling Snowdrops.

This is the last photo of this sub-series – a panorama of the same intersection as before, but this time in the Southeast direction. This is the location where the street was ripped up for months back in 2014 and the traffic was rerouted through the street we live in – you can still see where the road was paved over.
