It is fun to walk or bike along the Ruhr river. Even more, to sketch. The first sketch depicts the Hardenstein ruins in Herbede, upriver from Essen. The next six were done fairly near our home in Essen. The last two, depict the yacht club on the Baldeneysee, a lake-like section of the Ruhr above a dam and locks, within Essen's city limits.
Green delight
Rural and cultural spaces within city limits
Wahrscheinlich nie war der Himmel über Essen seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts so blau und klar. Die Pandemie beschränkte auch den Flugverkehr.
No wonder Essen was declared Europe´s green capital in 2017. Once a little village, now this city has expanded its limit incorporating neighboring towns. Many rural areas within the cluster remained untouched and the remains of the stalled coal industry became trails, forests, museums, and historic landmarks.
Probably never, since the beginning of the 20th century, the skies above Essen have been as blue and clear. Pandemic restrictions stalled air traffic too.
Thumbs up for Essen!
Langsam fangen die Workshops wieder an
