Driving by the Dortmunder U

Taken from the bus – The Dortmunder U

From Wikipedia: The Dortmund U-Tower is a brewery building in the city of Dortmund, Germany. It was the first skyscraper of Dortmund, built in 1926-1927. The high-rise Union Brewery used this building for the fermentation and storage of their products. In 1994 the brewery and all its surrounding buildings were closed and demolished, only the Dortmund U-Tower was spared due to having landmark status. In January 2008 the Dortmund U-Tower was decided to be redeveloped as a flagship project for the "Ruhr 2010 - Cultural Capital of Europe".

Our World Tuesday

Some fresh shots from my new walkaround camera, a little Sony DSC-RX-100. I hope it's a good compromise between the Canon DSLR EOS 550D and the smartphone. Right now I'm happy and I plan to take it on our next outdoor trip.

Looking up or I love libraries

There is a lot of glas under the entrance of the public library Stadtbibliothek Dortmund. I share it with The Weekend in Black and White and with Weekend Reflections
I do love this shot from a previous post and here is another one. This library is really great architecture. And it is wonderful inside. A fantastic place for reading and borrowing.
