Another look over to the other side of the Ruhr to the West, with the long RWW Waterworks building in the middle. Just to the right side is the Schlossbrücke and beyond that on the other side the Stadthalle, our big concert and theatre hall of which a new photo is coming up in this series soon.

It’s back! That familiar buzz was in the air today and the new WDL Blimp made its first rounds over the city after a winter pause. This is the newly built Blimp that made its debut only in Autumn of last year after its predecessor was destroyed in the big storm of 2014. The Blimp – we often call it incorrectly Zeppelin – is a real icon in our area and everyone really missed it when it was suddenly gone…

We’ve had the squirrels around all Winter, but I haven’t had a chance to take more photos of them. Today one of them checked out the small bird feeder that someone had hung on the trunk of the Maple tree in front of our balconies – and spent quite some time there raiding the bird food! Only a few shots turned out well because the lighting wasn’t ideal and the autofocus was being difficult, but I think this might not be the last time the squirrels have done this – they’ve even been on the balconies a lot!

The Copper Beech, continued. Couldn’t help taking a couple more photos of it!

More Tulips from mid-April – that’s how far behind I am with posting! :-)
