Baseball in Germany

 

My 9 year old grandson Henrik is playing baseball in NRW, Germany.  

My son is playing softball. Last week, in the Netherlands, in a team with adults from late teens to over 60, including women and some Venezuelans.

In the kids' baseball games, the parents are an integral part of the sport, supporting their offspring. 

I love to sketch musicians!

Recent sketches made at the Philharmonie Essen during rehearsals and at a camera concert.

 

The Blücher tower (Blücherturm)

This structure that looks like many medieval houses, is the Blücher tower, which served several purposes during half a millenium. It is located in Rellinghausen, now part of the city of Essen in Germany.   

At the end of the 16th century it was the stage for witch processes. From 1570 to 1595, a total of 39 women and men were convicted and executed here. Now it looks so pleasant, you can hardly believe its dark and scary past.  We plan an urban sketchers gathering around it.

UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein

This former coal industry installation now hosts the Ruhr Museum and is the most iconic landmark in Essen, Germany.  I have sketched it on several occasions.

Several dams were built on the Ruhr River, enabling the formation of lakes and ponds. Only three bear the name of lake. The Baldeneysee is one of them. It is located within the city limits of Essen.
