Essen, Germany - 10th January 2010
Yay, I could finally go out into the snow! We are planning to walk around 3 km. Here's a playground in the snow. I doubt anyone will play on this for a while. All the childern we passed were dragging or riding on sleighs. Directly behind it are some fields where it seems like there's nothing else but fields and sky but in reality we are in the middle of the city. This is the farm. Some of the area is protected. The sign says Landsschaftsschutzgebiet (landcape protection area) which isn't quite as strict as a nature protection area but should still be a place where migrating birds can rest etc. Look how deep the snow is. And we are only standing in a footprint. In the tree behind us some blackbirds are eating the red fruit, one of the few things they'll find at the moment. Here's a city graveyard. Right next to it ia a protestant one. The catholic graveyard is a few hundered meters away. Behind the field there are some half-timbered houses. One photo for the background. Look, we came all the way along the line of trees to the right. This is a hospital and the little building in the front is a hospice. There's a nice private park behind the buildings, mainly for the patients in the hospice. There are many townhouses from the early 20th century in Essen, but most aren't in very good repair. Here are some relatively typical multi-family houses: and some row-houses from the 1960s:
