Blue hour walk in Dortmund Nordstadt, Dec 28, 2014
So I’m still sick at home but today the weather was nice and I wanted to go out and take some pictures in the blue hour. In the end there were 127 pictures, 40 of which I selected here (most of the time clouds in the setting sun, one of my favourite themes).

Sunny day, Nov 22, 2014
So yesterday also was a sunny day, and although I just was running around with my smartphone, here are the results 🙂 The book you see is called “Pflanzen-Deko kreativ & selbstgemacht” (“creative, self-made decoration with plants”), written by fellow blogger Fee, a really nice person whom I was happy to meet during her presentation of it.

Mixed impressions Nov 15-20, 2014
And here’s yet another wrap-up of the photos I took during the week. Highlight was last Saturdays guided tour through the Sonnenbunker (war shed), but unfortunately publishing the photos from inside is prohibited by the owner, so there are just some views from outside. Some pictures were taken during a Black&White “challenge” I took part in.
