Autumn in Bielefeld

Posted by Anthony Morgan Lambert (Bielefeld, Germany) on 18 October 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

OK folks,the next few days are going to be shots of Bielefeld where I live.They were all taken on a little photo walk that I went on with my daughter Alisha around the Sieker area.

Hectic life just carries on.Swine flu is running rife in Germany at the moment (have you got it where you are ?) and over a third of everybody at work are sick at the moment so the few left fit,well and fighting are having to push out the over time to make up for the sick and missing !!
I´ll be in to comment when I can.In the meantime I´ll be posting new shots from my new camera taken on a city ramble on Tuesday...

I always love a railway track, Anthony, and in this case, it's got me wondering what's round the bend! Nice autumn colours, too. Looking forward to seeing more of where you live.

Firstly let me say Alisha is a beautiful name:-) I really like this composition, the track takes you straight through the image!! Great to see a bit of your home town Anthony:-)

@Linerberry: I´d class Pembroke dock in Wales as my "home town"(Where I came from) Bielefeld is now my second home I guess after nearly 20 years.

I love the colours where you are, as autumns not happening anywhere near as fast over here

A great start to your strolling photo safari! You have an interesting combination of urban & nature in this one; the camera position makes for some good composition as well. Nice shot!

@Jeff: As always,she´s always first to spot a good view(or at least to get there to take a shot) she runs much quicker than I do !!!!!!!!

Anthony - thank you - you've definitely got us back in the right direction. Now mind you - I'm still trying to hold on to summer. I think you may be providing some kind of therapy here.

Your trees look very much like our trees. Probably because we are at about the same latitude. Great picture.

Great shot love the autumn colour in contrast to the starkness of the railway line

wonderful autumn colors, I always like railway track captures, and this one is great, I to think the tracks curving out of view add interest in wondering whats around the bend
