I spent the weekend of June 22/23 at U Turm, Dortmund, as there has been the last chance to see the exposition “World of Matter” and also on this weekend there was Schau-Festival. There also was “Sommer am U” but as you can see in the picture Dörte took of me there unfortunately was not too much going on outside.
After the storm some trains in the area have been out of operation for nearly a week and as far as I know the S6 between Essen and Cologne still will be repaired for a month. I’ve been happy to use the S1 one week later again 🙂
Waffles with yoghurt should count as dietary meal 🙂 On Pentecost I made some waffles and had a walk in the park in the evening. Also I tried to sing along with frogs and put the result on video. Just in time when I reached home again one of the biggest storms this area has experienced started, at least 6 persons have been killed, houses and cars have been damaged, not to talk about road and railway tracks.
Had I known that barely an hour after I left the park a storm “Ela” on Pentecost Monday made access to the park impossible for weeks, I’d have taken more pictures.
I’ve got some “technical problems” today but still a chance to walk out into the meadows on a sunny day is a chance to walk out into the meadows on a sunny day. 🙂

Yesterday I met a group of people from facebook and couchsurfing to walk around Phoenix West to Phoenixsee. Although I’ve been there already, there have been many nice impressions, and the others being more technically able in photography were able to give me another view on photography. Still those are my usual pictures taken with my compact camera “from the hip” 😉
We did a small bike tour yesterday, here are some pictures, it’s the artificial lake called Phoenixsee as there was the steelworks “Hoesch Phoenix” before.
Today we did a short bike tour as group, up the Emscher and through Dortmund Mengede, Westerfilde, Schloß Westhusen, Huckarde and back to Dortmund HBf.
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).
If you’re like me you enjoy watching butterflies (today when I did not have my camera with me due to charging my mobile a couple of them even sat down in front of me), at least in Dortmund I’ve been to a good spot during my lunch break, in the Technologiepark between Hauert / Universitätsstraße / Joseph-von-Fraunhofer-Straße / Otto-Hahn-Straße. The small wood sported different kinds of butterflies 🙂
I’ve been a bit knocked out yesterday, but nevertheless the weekend was very nice, Music on Friday and Saturday and on Sunday a small bike tour into the east of Dortmund, chilling out in Westpark and having a dinner made by fellow couchsurfing friends 🙂
The weekend was quite busy, joining the Session at Youngster’s Point, accompanying someone nice in Dortmund (including Uni flea market), a very nice party and in the end a meeting in Tremoniapark. 🙂
