Urban Gardening in Winter
Today, I revisited the urban gardening project that started in 2013 in Offenbach, Frankfurt’s neighboring city. (Photos taken Feb.2)
Old Concrete
A bridge spans over a footpath at a park in Offenbach, just east of Frankfurt, Nov.10. It is one of the two oldest concrete structures without steel armouring in Germany still standing today. Together with a small temple (seen in background) it was erected in 1879.
Medieval Setting
The nocturnal sky over Runkel castle and river Lahn is lit by lightnings from a distant thunderstorm, April 25.
North of Frankfurt
Canola is blooming about three weeks earlier than last year among grain fields, forests, villages, hills and wind turbines in this view taken from the northeastern edge of Frankfurt, April 14.

No Snow
Gray clouds over a tree at the Wasserkuppe mountain, at 950 m (3,120 ft) the highest elevation in the federal state of Hessen. At this time of the year, there usually is a lot of snow – but not now.
