Another photo of Bielefeld's most famous attraction: Sparrenburg Castle. The picture was taken half an hour after sunset on a June evening. The tower lighting was already switched on and also the weather played along. Although the picture is not very original, the opportunity was just too good not to use it for a photo.

Germany was not always an industrial nation. As late as the 19th century, most of the German population lived in the countryside. The Open-Air Museum in Detmold gives an insight into the rural life of the people of Westphalia. On display are farms from different eras and the typical way of life and the activities of the people. The open-air museum is maintained by the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe and is always worth a visit.

The television tower 'Hünenburg' is Bielefeld's tallest building at 164 meters. It was built in 1972 on the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest and is a prominent part of the silhouette of the city. You can see the tower from almost anywhere. This photo was taken from Bielefeld-Quelle, south of the forest, on a summer evening half an hour after sunset. In the area on which the tower stands today a Germanic fortification was located in the time before Christ. But there are hardly any remnants of this fort today.

Ubbedissen is a district of Bielefeld close to the city limits. Located directly on the Teutoburg Forest, it has a very rural character. These photographs were taken at 'Ubbedisser Berg' (hills in the Teutoburg Forest). All photos have been taken with the amazing little Leica CL camera and Vario-Elmar-TL zoom lenses.

Kirchdornberg is a district on the western outskirts of Bielefeld in the Teutoburger Forest. The area is dominated by hills and fields and does not remind you of a big city. Even if Kirchdornberg is just a few kilometers away from the city center. The place has been inhabited since the Middle Ages. The oldest building is the 'Peterskirche' (St. Peters Church) with its tower from the 11th century. The photographs were taken on a morning in May 2018.

More highway colors: Evening in late March at the newly build 'Autobahn A33' (Highway A33) in Bielefeld-Brackwede. This photo was taken with one of my favorite lenses, the Zeiss Batis 25 mm. The traffic is not very high yet. For the photo that was an advantage because the light trails stand out particularly well against each other. To darken the sky I used a ND gradient filter.

Highway A2 (Autobahn A2) at Bielefeld-Sennestadt early in the morning before sunrise. The highway leads here through the Teutoburg Forest. This part of the route is known as 'Bielefelder Berg' and because of the speed camera a bubbling source of money for the city administration.
