Westfalenpark Dortmund, Mar 12, 2015

So today I took a day off and went to Westfalenpark to see the 100.000 crocus plants Fee ist mein Name and Dortmund überrascht Dich wrote about. And indeed they have been there! If you look closely you’ll also see some bumblebees buzzing in the flowers 🙂

Speckled wood butterfly, Sep 15, 2014

Speckled wood butterfly, 15.09.14

This guy seems to love nettles, at least he kept still until I could take this shoot 😉 In German it’s a “Laubfalter”, at least using the very nice web page “Die Schmetterlinge Deutschlands” lets me think so. I found him in Technologiepark, right where I described it to be a nice place to spot them in this post.

So instead of going to Burg Altena again we decided to tour around in Dortmund. It’s hard to enumerate all the places we’ve seen today but I’ll try 😉

Dortmunder U (Deep Love Festival), Dortmunder Kunstverein, Street Art Gallery 44309, Gelateria Angelo Losego, Black Plastic Vinyl Shop, Gedenkstätte Steinwache, Dortmund-Ems-Kanal, Fredenbaumpark, Gaststätte Schmiedingslust, Westfalenstadion, beer garden Rote Erde, pub Kumpel Erich, Westfalenpark, Florianturm. Here are some pictures:

Guided tour Rombergpark, Phoenix-West, Phoenixsee (viking boat competition), Aug 24, 2014

Posted on Monday, 25.08.2014 16:13 by sebrem Comment

On Sunday I promised to give a guided tour to a couchsurfer who was visiting Dortmund. I announced the tour on the day before but in the end it’s only been the two of us, what is there to say it was stress-free that way 🙂

So most of the pictures are similar to the ones I already took but then it’s been April weather in August yesterday so at least the lightning is different. And also, if you look closely at one of the flower pics taken in Phoenix-West, you’ll find an insect I’d categorize as “cabbage white butterfly” 🙂

Yellow flower with bee, Aug 1, 2014

I passed this little yellow flowers on my way home close to Dortmund University. I think you already might have noticed that I prefer to shoot flowers when they are visited by insects 😉

Seeking butterflies, Apr 3, 2014

Today during lunch break I was trying to take pictures of butterflies. Only one let me take a picture, I guess its name is Speckled Wood (Waldbrettspiel, Laubfalter).
