Landscapes with tram a few minutes after sunset at Bielefeld's loneliest tram stop 'Buschbachtal' in the district Milse. It is planned to create a new residential area in the future. Until then, the stop is quite alone in the fields.

Two photographs from the 'Viadukt', a railway bridge in Bielefeld-Schildesche. The oldest part of the bridge was build in the 19th century by the 'Köln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft' (Cologne-Minden Railway Company). The 'Viadukt' was unter heavy attacks during World War II and 16 of the original 28 arches have been destroyed. The bridge is the most famous landmark of the Bielefeld district of Schildesche.

Sunrise on October 1, 2017 at the Farmhouse Museum (Bauernhaus-Museum) in Bielefeld. The museum located in the Teutoburg Forest shows rural life as it was in East Westphalia before industrialization. Established in 1917 it is one of Germanys oldest open-air museum. Not very big but very nicely designed. And it's a perfect spot for a photo or two in early October!

Chinese Anemones (Anemone hupehensis) at the Botanical Garden in Bielefeld. Actually, I just wanted to take a few test photos with the new Zeiss Batis Apo-Sonnar f/2.8 135 mm. Certainly flowers are not the main field of application for this lens. It still worked quite well!

The Bielefeld University (Universität Bielefeld) was founded in the late 1960s. The main building represents with its functional concrete structure the typical architectural style of that period. The university is by far the largest building in Bielefeld. Even if from today's point of view only a minority may call it beautiful, it is without doubt one of the city's most prominent landmarks.

The Rudolf-Oetker-Halle is a concert hall in Bielefeld. It was built between 1929 and 1930 and opened in 1931. The construction of the hall was made possible by the entrepreneur family Oekter. The name recalls Rudolf Oetker, who was killed in World War One. The Oetkerhalle is known for its very good acoustics. Among various other events, the Bielefeld Philharmonic Orchestra (Bielefelder Philharmoniker) use the hall for their concerts.
