Dear friends,

after some grey and rainy days, I was very happy to see the sun coming out yesterday. I took the opportunity to go for a walk with my iPhone. Although Bonn is a city with more than 300,000 residents, there are a lot of rural areas outside the city center. So you can have the best of both worlds.

Geislar

The district where I live, is called Geislar and trends to the north-east of Bonn. The settlement got its first mention in 873 A.D. The name has a Celtic-Germanic origin, where "Geis" means sandy soil or at the water (the river Sieg flows in the Rhine here) and "-lar" means a settlement. (geiß-, goß-, gyssel- = pothole, swirl) + (lar = coddled area, cattle pen)

I hope, you enjoy these late autumn impressions of my district:

Villich Stream

To the left you can see the Geislar stream, which is a part of the 8.6 km / 5.34 miles long Villich stream, another right side tributary of the Rhine. To the right you can see some of the countless puddles on the trail.

Pond

The pond above has just been structured as a compensation for a nearby building project. It's not that large, but I recently just saw the first wild ducks dabbling in it.

Thanks a lot for watching! - Which one is your favorite photo?
