Skywatch Friday

more skywatch friday photos:

ugly tree

we have some really oddly cut trees in this city.

carpet of flowers

many tulpies and daisies :)

highway at night

the thick black line on the left is the Saar, the light one is the city highway and the right street is the Franz-Josef-Röder street. The building on the right is the Landtag des Saarlandes (parliament of Saarland).

the castle

the castle at night

fly

When we have warm days like the last ones there are always many flies sitting in the sun.

Saarbrücken at night

Last night I took some night photos which I will show you the next days. :)
This photo shows the fountain in front of the castle.

sky and clouds

It's my first Sky Watch photograph, nice sky today with white clouds.

cigarette vending machine

cigarette vending machine and placecardes

what's that?

that could have been another possible photograph for May theme day but I have no idea what these numbers mean. They are on the ground on the asphalt of the sidewalk.

red house

red house with a tree in front of it.

blue and green

I did NOT edit this photograph (except changing the size for a faster upload), the trees are really that green.
The photo shows the Saar and a part of the grassy area alongside the river where are often kids playing on the playground or people relaxing in the sun.

Saar crane

another shot of the saar crane.

sticker

sticker on a stairrail.

Saarbrücken Daily Photo turns 100!

this is my 100th post here and for that reason you get a photograph of the girl behind this blog (or at least a photo of my shadow, standing on the Westspange (bridge) at dusk) ;)

I miss...

That is what I miss right now. I took this photograph about one or two weeks ago and since this photo we have an absolutely perfect blue sky and warm temperatures. This is great and it's cool because you can be outdoors all the time but there are so much pollen in the air right now so it's hard for allergic persons :(. It's the first time I suffer from a little hay fever and so I wish there was rain again for one day.

"postal code fight"

There are many people, mostly youths, who spray the last numbers of their place's postal code they live in on walls, houses or signs. It seems a popular thing among youths to show off where they belong to and sometimes they start to "battle" people from another postal code area. "117" belongs to Old-Saarbrücken, where I found this street sign and the smearing on it.

Yellow Bags

Another Yellow Bags post today.
Everything that's marked with the Green Dot you throw into such yellow bags. Once a week there comes a big car that carries the bags away.

gingerbread hearts

At fairs you often see booths selling many kinds of candy. The most popular candies are hearts made of gingerbread with nice things written on them.

ghost train :)

merry-go-round

merry-go-round at kermis :)

ballons

Two times a year there is a kermis (do you say that in English?) in town. Today I was at the first one this year and I took some pictures that I'll post the next days :).

Theme Day: Numbers

Those strange signs can be found everywhere in German cities. They are for e.g. firefighters because there are important informations about the street and there is written where the next hydrant (or other water sources) are located.

There are 181 blogs participating the May theme day. Please check them out, too!
