colorful graffiti over a wall and billboard

some of the fortification walls and a view towards the closed entry gate of the yard. the carnival society Prinzen-Garde has permanent rooms in the fort. that dark limousine is probably theirs.

lit entry to a two storey building in the dark with wood panelling

this is a kindergarten by day. its low height and wood panelling give it a very humane vibe, fit for the purpose

probably 1980s built apartement block has lots of balconies and is seen here in the late evening against a dark blue sky

my favourite hirise apartement block... wait, what is happening in the top floor corner?

this newly build trade college in Toni Steingass park is extremely well lit at night

two red jerry cans are lying abandoned in a car tire covered by snow

#kphoto

partly melted snow has created a pattern on this gravel path near the elevated tram tracks

snow covered tree lined meadow a low winter sun is shining creating stark contrasts some dark figures in the background are sledding down a small hill others just walking

slightly different view of the same park promenaders going up and down a snow covered path

people enjoying the sun and snow in a small park nearby #kphoto

the same plaza from the opposite side and fully covered with snow the sun is shining and drawing long tree shadows on the white

two guys were actually playing boule in these conditions. not on the pictured plaza but in the backyard of their adjoining club house. I guess you gotta stay in shape. #kphoto
