Winter has finally arrived in the Black Forest.
Almost as the same time as the past year.
...Another image of the European Beech trees
from a place I love so much: The top of the "Freiburg
house-mountain" (altitude: 1, 284 m). The Schauinsland is located roughly ten kilometres south-east of Freiburg's city centre.
The "Schauinslandbahn" was taken in 1930 as the first passenger ropeway in the world on the circulation principle in operation,
it leads in 10 minutes to the topic.
From my Archives, there are still so many
images left.
Although I love skiing and cross-country skiing,
I prefer snowshoeing there if I want to take photos.
Wishing you a lovely week ahead :-)
Thank you for your kind visits.

Ebringen and its vineyards...
This village is one of many lovely wine villages in my region, situated along the 'Baden wine- route'.
It is located about 5 km (3 mi) south of Freiburg and belongs to the Freiburg metropolitan area.
Surrounded by meadows, forests and in the middle of vineyards it is a very nice place.
The entire area of the municipality is located in the Schönberg range, foothills of the Black Forest, which is geologically a part of the Rhine Rift Valley. The Schönberg is characterized by a very diverse surface geology from all periods of the Mesozoic, Paleogene volcanism and glacial löss deposits.Ebringen is known for the oldest recorded viticulture between Freiburg and Basel.
Viticulture has most likely been present since the Roman era in the first century AD, as ruins of a Roman grange were found in the Ebringen area.the earliest written record for viticulture dates from the early 8th century.
The Markgräflerland (Baden) is well known for its Chasselas grapes.(Gutedel in German)

Many thanks for your kind visits and comments, dear friends.
Although Winter is knocking at the door meanwhile, I want to share some more images from autumn.

Looking east along busy Yan'an Road (延安路) at the intersection with Huashan Road (华山路).
Taken from the footbridge at that intersection. Here Yan'an Road also changes it's designation from West Yan'an Road (延安西路) to Middle Yan'an Road (延安中路).
The blue illuminated part is Yan'an Viaduct Road (延安高架路), the main west-east traffic artery in Shanghai.
Combined from 3 exposures, each 15 seconds long.

As seen from the western Isar bank. The weir was completed in 1924. It's purpose is to raise the water level of the Isar river by 6 m and divert most of the water into the Mittlere-Isar-Kanal, which on it's lenght of 64 km supplies in total 7 run-of-the-river power stations with water.
This is the upstream side - downstream of the weir is a popular bathing place.

A closer view towards the altar of the late renaissance Michaelskirche in Munich.
St, Michael was built from 1583 to 1597. It was massively damaged during an allied bomb raid in 1944 and reconstructed from 1946 to 1948.

Sunset at the Regattastrecke. Short telephoto version, last upload of this sunset.
This means - go out and catch another😁!
The Regattastrecke Oberschleißheim (Oberschleißheim Regatta Course) is an artificial lake that was build for the 1972 Olympic Games as the rowing and canoe sprint venue.
The lake is 2,230 metres long and 140 metres wide. Since 2018 it is under Denkmalschutz (scheduled monument, historic landmark).
It is still used as training facility for local rowing clubs and for related sports events, e.g the World Rowing Cup 1997 and the 2007 World Rowing Championships.

The current Fischertor city gate was built in 1924, after demolishing the remains of a gate in this place dating to 1609.
The 1609 gate was actually a modification of a 1328 gate. The 1609 gate was nearly completely destroyed in 1703 during the War of the Spanish Succession, slowly rebuilt, but closed in 1770 due to lack of traffic.
As you can see from my middle-of-the-road point of view, there is still not too much traffic in 2022... 😁

Revisited. The subway station "Westfriedhof" (Western Cemetery) on the border between the districts of Moosach and Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, along lines U1/U7.
Pretty popular photo location for obvious reasons...
The blue walls (remainders of the slurry wall that was used during construction) and the 11 huge lamps of 3.80 m diameter each give a very special atmosphere. The lamps do have yellow, red and blue lights, so each section has a slightly different atmosphere.

An after midnight panorama taken at a (at daytime) rather busy intersection of 5 roads:
淮海中路 Huaihai Middle Road
武康路 Wukang Road
兴国路 Xingguo Road
余庆路 Yuqing Road
天平路 Tianping Road
This is from the end of Wukang Road, corner to Xingguo Road, horizontal field of view is about 180°. Located at the border of Changning District (长宁区) and Xuhui District (徐汇区).
The building in the center is a famous apartment block in the former French Concession, at colonial times named "Normandie Apartments", nowadays it is mainly known as 武康大楼 "Wukang Mansion" resp. "Wukang Building" - Shanghai's "Flatiron".

And sorry, due to flickr's inability to properly save local language tags since late Sept. 2022 and no fix in sight (no UTF-8 support in tags, it appears only characters from the stone-age "Code Page 437" work correctly), the tags are incomplete - most Chinese tags do cause flickr's tag parser to create gibberish in the following tags.

The "Nanshi Qu" assigned by flickr as location name is also wrong, a long standing issue with flickr's trashy location database.

In Ueno zoo there are some buildings much older than the zoo itself (which itself was founded in 1882). This five stories pagoda originally dates to 1631 but later had to be rebuilt after a fire. It was previously the property of the Kan'ei-ji temple, but in 1958 it was donated to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the management given to the zoo.
The water tower of Cuxhaven. Completed in 1897, out of commission since 2004.

The northern side wing of the New Schleißheim Palace as seen from the west.
The New Schleißheim Palace was built 1701-1704 by Enrico Zuccalli for the Elector of Bavaria, Maximilian II Emanuel, who expected to become emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and therefore felt the need for a representative new residence.
Unfortunately Maximilian II Emanuel never became the emperor...
ℹ️ In case you wonder how an over 300 years old building can be called "New Palace", here is the nearly 400-year old "Old Palace", which is located just west of the New Palace.
