On the Lookout I
On the Prowl I

Heron gathering in the natural section of the Münster Aa in the Aasee meadows. Probably a guest from the zoo - sometimes you can see storks there too. The image is a cropped enlargement, therefore fewer pixels than usual.

Bicycle Parking House Münster
Bicycle Parking House Münster

One of the remnants from our 4 years of SPD mayoralty: a bicycle parking house with bicycle wash station and repair workshop. Not bad at all and certainly more sensible than the monstrous Ludgeri car park that the current CDU mayoralty came up with to waste taxpayer money ...

Wuschel Segge

Strange blossoms architecture produces in some corners of Münster ...
