Even More Church

Even More Church

Noch mehr Kirche

The Josefskirche. I somehow like the church (as a building, really the function is quite irrelevant to me), it looks so out of place where it stands. Like a remnant of a bygone era.

Crooked

Schief

Schief

It's true though. It is crooked. I suppose I'll have to work more with the display than with the optical viewfinder on the Kodak. Too bad really, the viewfinder uses less power.

Pasture by the Pond

Willow by the Pond

Willow by the Pond

One of my favorite subjects - a small, smelly pond on the promenade. In winter it's covered with all the rubbish thrown onto the ice, in summer it stinks to high heaven. And the willows don't mind, they grow there and are as beautiful as ever.

Ok, I'm actually not a motorcycle fan, but I still find something like this kind of nice. But it does seem to me like it's missing at least one wheel ...

And moss tufts again

And Again Moss Tufts

And Again Moss Tufts

Yeah yeah, they're getting boring. I want flowers too. Or something else. But right now my commute is terribly dull. But I have to test the Kodak on something...

And the first spring...

And the first spring ...

And the first spring ...

... unfortunately only a blurry crocus, as something went wrong with the focus

And again a moss tuft ...

And once again a moss tuft ...

And once again a moss tuft ...

... but this time with the new camera! Settings for rich colors. Hmm.

Building Bridges ...

Building bridges ...

Building bridges ...

... even if it's only across the Aasee in Münster.

He is still frozen.

Still frozen.

Still frozen.

The last cold days? Hopefully also the last bare days, I finally want to see green plants that are not called rhododendron, juniper bush or arborvitae...

Baby animals ...

Baby animals ...

... I can't offer those, but a baby tin dinosaur is something too. By the way, it stands with its relatives in terms of species and material around the Natural History Museum.

Wild Forest

Wild Forest.

Wild Forest.

Between Aasee and the zoo is a small patch of forest. Trampled ground, well-worn paths, even stairs on the slopes. Well, it's the Sunday stroll area at Aasee, so you have to play around with the frame a bit to still get an impression of nature.

And once more, because it's so nice

And again, because it's so beautiful

And again, because it's so beautiful

In winter, many seagulls gather on the canal in the harbor basins of the RCG and in the city harbor basins. When you see the hustle and bustle for the first time, it's quite surprising to see it so far inland. But it's even more impressive when you see the seagull swarm after the weekend market at Domplatz...

When in the evening in the harbor ...

the seagulls go to sleep ... (okay, okay, rhyming is not my thing, I'll stop now)

He was really that kitschy!

That really was so kitsch!

That really was so kitsch!

At least I left out the church tower silhouette, that would have been a bit too much. If the weather tomorrow is like it was today, I'll probably head out an hour later and hopefully capture the sunset at the canal.

It would be nicer if it were green ...

... but that will take a while yet. At the canal today, everything was gray, yellow and brown anyway. Slightly frustrating, especially since the hedge trimmers apparently just marched through and did the spring pruning.

One could almost get wanderlust...

Man könnte fast Fernweh kriegen ...

... but unfortunately it's only the city harbor of Münster. Nothing distant, just nearby. But a wide-angle lens helps the imagination along a bit.

Ok, a few more splashes of color

Not blooming, except in the imagination of the artist or artists. Unfortunately, all of this will probably be torn down soon. What a shame. For me, this is also art.

When the only splash of color ...

When the only splash of color ...

... is the industrial facilities, then it's high time for spring!

You rarely see such vortices around here. I'm quite familiar with them from the north (though they're usually much larger), but such a mini low-pressure system is rather charming.

Moose Tuft

Moosbuschel

Moosbuschel

Nothing exciting, not even particularly good. I really only posted it to test the feature with JPEG information.

Spring? Frost!

Spring? Frost!

No spring here, it's still freezing.

Wanderlust ...

Fernweh ...

Fernweh ...

I miss the coast. It's time we take a vacation there again.
