UFO on a tower - or a symbol from Lünen

Lüntec-Tower and office building in the technology park, Lünen, yesterday

A former winding tower from the coal mine from 1922. Now the symbol from the Lüntec technology park. Mining stopped in 1992, the capsule on top was build in 1995 and the technolgy park opend as part of the structural change in the Ruhr district (German Ruhrgebiet).

Popularly called Colani-Ei, after the designer Luigi Colani and the egg-shape. Or it is called UFO. Seen from a distance it does actually look like.

I posted a lot of pictures from this "UFO tower" before, all with the label UFO

but for the first time I took this view with the sign

I guess it is the most photographed building in town. And on my blog. The next post will show a black and white version.

You know where it is

It's just a nice play with two big glass fronts opposite.

UFO or just the tower #2

Lüntec-Tower in the technology park, Lünen, September 2011

Some information about this very special building and some photos I posted here and  here
And you can see where yesterdays lights and shadows are located.
Sometimes the lights on top (under the "ufo") are switched on. Maybe next time.
I couldn't decide which from the two last pics are better so here they are both.

UFO or just the tower

Normally my photos are nearly straight out of the lens (only reduced in size). So here's a different one.

More information on this UFO-tower in my Friday post.

Is there an UFO in the refection?

No. Or maybe.
