And here is once again a photography of the campus of Bielefeld University. I wanted to take a picture of the trees with their red foliage on the northern campus area, where the buildings of the University of Applied Sciences and the CITEC (Center for Excellence Cognitive Interactive Technology) are located. The CITEC building can be seen in the background. I took the photo in the late afternoon so that the low sun would make the leaves on the trees shine beautifully.

Near the terminus of the Bielefeld tram in the Sieker district is the so-called Eastend Tower, an office complex built in the early 2000s. The building is nothing special in itself, but I pass it almost every day. Now I have photographed it. At another place in Bielefeld there is an office building in the same style, which was named Westend Tower. But in fact it is located in the city centre and not in the west of the city. It doesn't have to be all factually logical, the main thing is that it sounds good.
Both pictures were taken with the Fujifilm GFX 50R camera and the Fujinon GF 4/ 23 mm R LM WR lens in the late afternoon.

On Friday evening, April 24, 2020, I packed my camera and set off for the fields on the northern slope of the Teutoburg Forest. They are located in the district of Stieghorst and are not far from my apartment. It was a really nice evening with an even more beautiful sunset.
I took pictures with the Fujifilm GFX 50R and the lens Fujinon GF 4/ 23 mm R LM WR. I did not have a tripod with me, but that was no big problem. More than ISO 250 was not necessary.

I am not the great forest photographer, others can certainly do that much better than me. Nevertheless I try my luck from time to time. Preferably in spring or autumn. In Oerlinghausen, which is a small town not far from Bielefeld, there is a very beautiful landscape that belongs to the Teutoburg Forest: the Wistinghauser Senne. It is a rather barren landscape with very sandy soils which are not well suited for agriculture. Open areas and forest alternate and especially in the morning and evening there are always nice light moods.

I've lived in Bielefeld all my life. That's over 49 years now. Nevertheless, there are still places here where I have never been or only a few times. One such place is a small allotment garden in the west of the city on the edge of the Teutoburg Forest. I also did not know that from there, one has a great view over large parts of the city area. During a walk on Easter Monday I happened to pass by there. I was there in the afternoon and the light was quite nice but not really great for a photo. One week later I went there again very early in the morning and what can I say, the sunrise was fantastic.

There is a small pond in the Teutoburg Forest on the edge of the Bielefeld district of Ubbedissen. It is located in an unusual way directly on the hill and not, as one would expect, in a hollow. There is also no stream or river that feeds the pond. The water comes only from rainfall. I've been up there a few times but now, in spring the conditions were good for a photo because the vegetation is still low and you get a good impression of the pond and the surrounding trees. The trees with their still bare branches look almost like sculptures and a big old tree even stands in the middle of the water.

Here are some photos of the Central Hospital Bielefeld ('Klinikum Bielefeld Mitte'). They were all taken from the same place, from the so-called 'Promenade', a path on the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest, which leads above the city of Bielefeld to Sparrenburg Castle. Especially in spring, when the vegetation is not yet so dense, you have a beautiful view of the city from here. It is also nice that the sun rises behind the main building of the hospital. In short, it was a good idea to take some pictures here.

Only a little sunrise over the city centre of Bielefeld. Taken at Sparrenburg Castle early in the morning at half past six. I found the bare tree behind the parapet so beautiful. Almost looks like a sculpture. The picture is already two weeks old. It was still quite cold that morning. Just over 0° Celsius.

The Teutoburg Forest runs right through the middle of the Bielefeld urban area. This is quite unusual for a city with over 300,000 inhabitants. The city centre lies north of the forest. In the forest, in the Gadderbaum district, there is an old quarry that has not been in use for a very long time. It is called the Halleluja quarry ('Halleluja-Steinbruch') and it is used today by sport climbers for training. But in the morning shortly after sunrise nobody is here yet. I used the early hour for some photos using the Fujifilm GFX 50R together with the Fujinon GF 4/ 23 mm R LM WR lens.

The weather in March and April is often very changeable. The last days were very sunny and beautiful in Bielefeld. Last Saturday afternoon a cloud front came up and I passed a gas station at the 'Schweriner Straße' by chance. It was about 19:00 o'clock and the sun had almost set. Then I took the following two photos.
