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".

Urban mix

This is part of a parking garage in Lünen. With the help of a filter this looks way more interesting than normal.

Violent storm

Our house behind the fallen tree

A violent storm hit parts of Germany yesterday night and it hit the tall spruce from neighbors garden. Luckily nobody was hurt. But our roof is damaged and we got rain in the house. All craftsman are busy, because there is a lot of damage around here. The tree is still lying on the roof.

Our World Tuesday

Our World Tuesday is full of contrast

This is my favorite photo from the series. It reflects the contrast from going to the big city every day for work and my favorite free time activity spend in the forest. 

I like my work with people, manly children. And I like to visit the library and reading is one of my favorite while I commute or stay at home.

On the other side I like to go trekking, carry all my gear with me and sleep in the tent, the only people around me belong to my family. I get drinking water from little creeks, feel the wind, hear the sound of nature and breath deeply.

After playing around with the photo editing app pixlr express, I 'll post a series of this escalators inside the Stadtbibliothek Dortmund (main library). No. 1 is here.

For the "stairways to sky" I simply put two pictures together.

I like to try something new ones in a while. There are so many possibilities in this app.

This station "Bochumer Verein / Jahrhunderthalle Bochum" has a colorful play with light before the tram arrives.
In this one I did some editing.
