Obere Wilhelmstraße, Bonn

Posted by
MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 9 February 2011 in Documentary & Street.

Beuel, Bonn's district on the 'schäl Sick' (that's the wrong side of the Rhine river, as every city on a river has a 'right' and a false bank), an independent city for 17 years, and its interesting geography: this street is like a historistic connection between Beuel's centre and the rail station. All buildings and streets around this one are significantly younger.

One by one, these buildings must be worth a study! Each with its own characteristics, details and various shapes of windows...verey colourful image! And I also like the street lamps, some kind of art deco style...only the wire...yes, I know we cannot help it!

@Japanalia: It's the tram leading from the rail station back to Bonn - no rail, no street.

I have just seen your last pictures of streets with people and buildings. You are doing a good job, I like them.

@akarui: Thank you very much, Olivier! Dark and dull days require a good lens; the best I have is my macro lens, which I'm using as a tele.

schöne klare Struktur und tolle Bildschärfe! Der Bildausschnitt ist sehr gut überlegt und passend, so
dass dieses Bild sehr "aufgeräumt" wirkt!
eindrucksvolles Straßenbild!

@klausZ: Dankeschön! Bei 100mm kommt es auf den Ausschnitt an, meist betone ich dabei die Vertikale, was bei Altbauten meist ganz gut gelingt.

Looks like car parking is a headache,packed in like sardines, but I still love the kindly light that you find in your streets Manfred.

@Curly: I had to enhance it a bit by pulling up contrast; actually it was a rather dull day with 2min of sunshine approx.

Those poor trees!

@Christine Walsh: Typical brutality of municipal gardening offices. It's not easy being green.
