Town Hall

Last week’s snow trough “Keziban” has produced a whole lot of chaos on the streets. In the mountain region around Heidelberg, they even had to close schools down because bus service wasn’t running at all. For us urbanites, the joy of fairytale winter views like this one prevailed.

It’s sunday, time for a church pic, don’t you think? Heiliggeistkirche, slightly tilted, against the snowy backdrop of the terraced gardens along Heiligenberg.
Mühltal
Posted in Handschuhsheim, winter on February 6, 2010 by D.H.
Picture postcard idyll in Handschuhsheim, probably the most beautiful quarter of the town. Just like Ziegelhausen, Rohrbach, Wieblingen etc. it used to be a village that was suburbanised in the early 20th century. In some parts, the rural charme has remained, and probably nowhere as beautifully as in Mühltalstraße.
Bark

And the bark covered roof that obviously gave Rindenhütte its name.

Same spot, different angle.
As you may have noticed, I’ve started to recategorize my old posts. From now on, you can watch similar posts by using the right hand side toolbar. I’ll be trying to work through all of the files before my first blog anniversary.

Ceiling construction of a hut named “Rindenhütte” (bark hut).

My not-so-early morning jog around the forests has lead to whole range of pictures I might have considered for yesterday’s theme day. Number one.
Theme day: Wood
Posted in Pfaffengrund, business, theme day on February 1, 2010 by D.H.
As usual, the first day of the month is the city daily photo community’s theme day. Today’s theme is WOOD.
I was caught a bit cold on this one. My choice is almost, but not quite a re-post. It’s a leftover from a series which ended up with me posting a slightly different angle back in May 2009.
And now I’m looking forward to explore what interpretation of wood people around the world came up with. Happy theme day everyone! Click here to view thumbnails for all participants
Silence
Posted in Wieblingen, architecture, winter on January 31, 2010 by D.H.
I always get the feeling that there is someting surreal or even alien about this water tower. The way it hovers above everything, silently staring down on you, reminds me of the artwork accompanying the war of the worlds musical version. It could also be the crow in this picture, I don’t know.
(That spot above the right tree is one of the reasons why I desperately need a new camera. I’ve been polishing the lense over and over again, it won’t go away.)
