Friday, after seminar, I was absolutly tired! Recreational stress...... Poor little me! Too many things at once! So I spontaniously decided to go for a looooong walk in Oberhausen.
FIRST I saw "Schloss Oberhausen" .......a project redeveloped by Eller & Eller Architekten...... by the time they worked on that, I started my first profession with them in 1992..... Is it truly such a long time ago??? PUH!...... As usual I took millions of pics from glazing details etc......very unspectacular for someone watching me....
Then I discovered the enclosed memorial place for nazi victims next by. A tour into german history again reminded me, that many of the germans suffered from world war II, not only other nations....... I just lost this perspective being in Latvia, experiencing the opposite site of argumentations ........ and next to this working on the extention of the Occupation Museum in Riga.....Viewing such pictures again makes me wonder, to what extend human nature is capable to destruct.
Also in that memorial hall was a architectural competition display to reconstruct the place.....
Old habit - lots of photos......... :-))
Trying to relax my mind.......which is not easy in front of all these buildings everywhere.....I found........ obviously what????....... a ZOO!....... Is this Gods way of telling me to become a child again? .........Well to be honest, this question comes along, if you have been to a zoo twice a week and the last time I saw living animals in this kind of setting was with my grandparents at an age of 4-6 years........ It gives me something to think of.....
Children at that age need to be in bed by 19.00 pm...... that's also why the animal park closed at that time..... leaving me, to mature quickly!...... There were ships on the channal next to the park AND rowboats with lots of sportive men!
All in all a nice evening with lots of "Ruhrpott" experiences, that I missed for years!
Praise the Lord for giving me this time AT HOME!
