Beyond the fasad

Look at those yard, No flowers, no plants, nothing, just green.

Internet for free

The Unperfekthaus was a pretty nice place during my first 5 years in Essen.

There is always a place for more waste

Stop

Schurenbachhalde

The Ruhr-Area is famous for their slack-heaps ("Halde").

Perfect yellow bin

Waiting for the bus

When I went silk screening I got up early, actually that early that I had to take the bus instead of the 109 (which is always delayed, I never go…

Inside out

While taking a walk through the city of Essen I came across the Aalto Theater.

Schachtzeichen

During Essen 2010, Essen was the European cultural capital during that year; the people of the Ruhr-Area organized a lot of events.

The photos shows a sundown in Essen seen from Huttrop.

Sundown III

In winter sundowns in Essen look different.

Sundown IV

2nd version of the sundown in winter in Essen. I kind a like both version. Which one is your favourite?

Consume your ass off

I was one my way to the Unperfekthaus to meet the Quadcopter club when I saw the advertisment lights at the shopping center Limbecker Platz.

Sundown V

Another great sundown in Essen, Germany. I love those Ruhrpott sundowns. They are special, kind of. The color composition is so unique.

Stairway to happen

Ever been to Berliner Platz in Essen. It is (was?) one those ugly subway stations. Actually a real ugly one.

snow

Winter in Essen always comes by surprise.

Double

The green middle, a modernized area in the near of the university, isn't green at all.

Ride and Park

One of the loneliest places in Essen, at least at that time I took the photo. Some hours earlier our later it would look different.

Du schon leben?

Are you still integrating or are you already living? is the question on of this artwork.

Sundown VI

this lovely Ruhrpott sundowns. Something I will miss once I went away from Essen. You want to know why I'd like to leave...

Still-Leben Ruhrschnellweg

Experimenting with an analogue tele. Was looking at the city hall of Essen.

The red light for Essen

Essen is one of the most fucked up cities in Germany.

divided

The A40 divides Essen in two parts, South and North. The further south you go the bigger the houses become, the richer the people look.

Escalators

The storm is coming

The rainfall was that heavy that we couldn't see the water tower in the distance, the city hall wasn't visible as well.

Sundown VII

you already know: I love Sundowns in the Ruhrgebiet. Especially when it showes the small Ruhrhattan in the background

Cams

Sundown VIII

I can't get enough of this. I can't get enough of this. I can't get enough of this. I can't get enough of this. I can't get enough of this.

Taking down the N

The Norris bank closed in Essen Huttrop at one point, but they didn't take down their logo from the top of the building.

The Headquarters

Speed Daemon

The A40, the highlight of Essen. The place everybody should be proud of.

Winter wonderland III

snowed in pillars at a industrial building during winter time

The Fog

Once in a while the fog is in the streets of Essen.

Cars

Cars, cars, cars. Those cars need more space than the people. Streets are everywhere. Do you see bikes? No, of course not.

Trash

Just throw your stuff away. It isn't necessary to buy stuff that lasts longer; you are able to buy cheap stuff whenever you need it. Just go one…

Sundown IX

ok, I promisse, that is the last one.

chemtrail

I did a little bit travelling by bicycle and once came across a small chemical plant. I took a series of about 20 long term insolations.

Visit Ruhrhattan

Ruhrhattan is central Essen.

Stranger in the night

A crosswalk in shades of red at night

To the Hauptbahnhof

While walking to the Hauptbahnhof (main station) in Essen I saw that perfect alignment of the teletower at the far distance.

No bikes please

no bikes please. While Essen invests a lot in so called Schnellradwege (far distant bicycle roads) the don't do anything for bicycles in the city…

For a visit

Nothing but rain
