Eurocity City Festival Münster

Eurocity Stadtfest Münster

Eurocity Stadtfest Münster

Once a year, blue pennants are hung up in Münster and cheerfulness is ordered. Sometimes it works too - despite the acoustic pollution that comes with the pennants.

Handkerchiefs grow on trees. I always knew it...

No, but at least blueberries ...

Joseph's Church Economic Building

Wirtschaftsanbau der Josephs-Kirche

No, I still don't like the organization church. Nevertheless, some of their buildings occasionally offer nice subjects.

Nordkirchen Castle

Schloss Nordkirchen

Schloss Nordkirchen

One of the most beautiful (and largest) moated castles in Westphalia. Not for nothing also called the Versailles of Westphalia.

Lamps at the City Library

Fitting the strange architecture of the city library, the lamps are also a bit different ...

Münster City Library, Main Entrance

Münster Municipal Library, Main Entrance

Münster Municipal Library, Main Entrance

The main entrance of the municipal library in Münster. A rather convoluted building, apparently meant to symbolize a book or a ship or something else. Externally composed of many corners and edges, lots of sheet metal and glass, and actually looks completely out of place, especially since it stands among buildings of completely different architectural styles.

Münster City Library, Side Corridor

The main entrance of the City Library in Münster. A rather chaotic building, probably meant to symbolize a book or a ship or something else. Externally consists of many corners and edges, lots of metal and glass, and actually looks completely out of place, especially since it stands among buildings of completely different architectural styles.

A Weeping Willow

A Weeping Willow

A Weeping Willow

This weeping willow stands by a pond at the Kanonengraben. A few years ago it was cut back very severely - all branches were lopped off, leaving only the main trunk standing. In the meantime, it has managed to recover somewhat.

Spring Promenade

The linden trees along the promenade positively glow in spring.

Spring - I Don't Laugh

Spring - don't make me laugh

Frühling - das ich nicht lache

I wonder if the daffodils are cold?

Ok, that reconciled me again...

Ok, that reconciled me again ...

Ok, das hat mich aber wieder versöhnt ...

... one is unpretentious, a few blooming trees and you forget that your ass is freezing.

Remnants of Autumn

Remnants of Autumn

Überbleibsel aus dem Herbst

Well. This one is anything but a herald of spring. Never mind. It's still pretty.

And one last

And one more

Und ein letztes

So, that's it for now. But they really are pretty. Besides, I got to try out the macro function of the Kodak. Usable.

And another pair

And another pair

Und noch ein paar

They sure are pretty ...

And more...

And more ...

Yes, I know, it's getting tedious, but there's one more coming.

Pussy Willow

Pussy Willows

Pussy Willows

Here are a few pictures of the lovely, fluffy, and absolutely annoying (I already mentioned that I'm allergic to them) pussy willows. Ok, I accept the sneezing, after all they really are true harbingers of spring.

The Cathedral

The Cathedral

The Cathedral

There are plenty of churches in Münster. And the cathedral has certainly been photographed often enough. Never mind. It's part of Münster, the weather was nice, so it goes in here. That's that.

First Signs of Spring

First Signs of Spring

First Signs of Spring

The willows already have their first leaf buds, shimmering in light green and giving the weeping willows a beautiful yellow-green color. I always look forward to it, even though I really should be upset: willows are one of the tree species that I'm allergic to ...
