Photography Series Ruhrpott Part Two - the night strikes back
Part two of the Ruhrpott Series. I visited Tiger and Turtle, helped a butterfly, opened the EmptySpace, and yes: I took a lots of sundown photos. It is the atmospheric sundowns in Essen that makes the city a pretty place (at least for about an hour). Therefore this part is "the night strikes back". The photos are in chronological order.

Tiger and Turtle is another public installation and landmark on the a slack heap, this time in Duisburg Angerpark.
