Hello World!
Just to let you know: I had an amazing day. Yesterday was sunny, I had fun meeting up with Darja and I took some Pictures I want to share. They were taken on my way to and in Essen, just to show a little bit how I felt or what I saw. Not to get you bored its becoming a short information about where I live and what my home area looking like ;). So hop up on the train to travel with me from Marl to Essen where I met Darja for an unusual Cup of Coffee.

First Picture from our Trainstation in Marl. 100 years ago it was one of the biggest Cargostations in Germany.
Nowadays it is only a pathetic small station without any right to exist, when you don't count the fact that there is a trainstop twice an hour to go to Münster or Essen / Düsseldorf. I like the fog in the farer distance.
That's why I took this picture. The view is in direction of Recklinghausen / Essen. At some point I truly believe that Marl was supposed to become a bigger City than it is now.

Since the Industrial Age is getting over-runned by the Informational, our coal mines are getting torn down and our culture is going down. So our Citys get uglier and the culture gets lost.
I really love to see my home towers of the Coal mines. I really do and nobody understands me because they think the mines are really not what you consider beautiful, but for me they belong here and make this special feeling in this area.
I will take some Pictures and you can see for yourselves.

| German Lunch ( 12:30 pm ) |
When we finally met ( she wasn't as bad in finding me as I was on the other hand though).
We decided on going into a small Cafe and enjoy the sun. That's where I forgot about my Camera and we laughed and talked, basically had a great time. Until she ordered a beer.
You don't know it was really early... It was 12:30 pm.

The Waitress just nodded and this is actual quite usual in Germany.
I wouldn't call it normal but you see people with beer almost all the time.
When we walked through the city to buy some cheaper beer we found our new friend bishop "whatshisface". A weird statue of a guy who is most obvious really important to that catholic church in the middle of that district.I think it's more of a cathedral but not comparable to the one in Cologne or even Münster. To that statue: He is standing in his catholic look on a surface which becomes really interesting on the other side because there is this wolf upside down with a sleeping lamb on is stomach ( which is sleeping in the right and not upside down direction ). Darja and I made a lot of jokes about Arts and their "meanings" beforehand so this was just too much, but just see Darja how she tries to explain and reembody the statue ;)
Thank you for traveling with Deutsche Bahn ;)
