Even More Green
Even More Green
Yes, I'm running out of image titles and associations. Are you just noticing that now?
Joseph's Church Economic Building
Economic Building of the Joseph's Church
No, I still don't like the organization church. Nevertheless, some of their buildings occasionally offer nice subjects.
Being together
Togetherness
One daffodil does not a spring make. But a whole bunch certainly does ...
Is it spring now, or what?
Is jetzt Frühling, oder was?
Ok, not very impressive. But at least something like spring. You know, with bursts of big green things and stuff ...
Hamburg Central Station North, U2
Hamburg Hauptbahnhof Nord, U2
U-Bahn station Hamburg Hauptbahnhof Nord, U2.
Nordkirchen Castle
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
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
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
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
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.

Did children start building a treehouse here?
Ok, that reconciled me again...
Ok, that reconciled me again ...
... one is unpretentious, a few blooming trees and you forget that your ass is freezing.
The Tuckesburg
Die Tuckesburg
The house of Prof. Landois, founder and first director of the Münster Zoo and planner of the Münster Aasee.
Remnants of Autumn
Remnants of Autumn
Well. This one is anything but a herald of spring. Never mind. It's still pretty.
And one last
And one more
So, that's it for now. But they really are pretty. Besides, I got to try out the macro function of the Kodak. Usable.
Pussy Willow
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
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
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 ...
St. Joseph's Church, Church Tower
Josefskirche, Church Tower
OK, I may have overdone it a bit with the wide-angle lens...
Even More Church
Even More Church
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
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
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.
And moss tufts again
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 ...
... unfortunately only a blurry crocus, as something went wrong with the focus
And again a moss tuft ...
And once again a moss tuft ...
... but this time with the new camera! Settings for rich colors. Hmm.
He is 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.
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
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 ...
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!
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 ...
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.
