ruhrkultur

this weekend i visited my family in bochum. my grandmother celebrated her 92 birthday. she isn't that healthy anymore, but for her age she's doing good i think!
also i spent some time with my parents, and we visited "Henrichshütte", an industrial memorial. basically it's a over 60 years old balst furnace, with some explanations and a small museum. it's a typical example for the "industriekultur" (industrial-culture or whatever) in the area i grew up.
in the museum was a small exhibition about Leonardo Da Vinci, with replics of machines he invented, that you could actually operate. that was really interesting, as i am sort of an enthusiast for him.
i took the picture above at the museums premises. i like it somehow, i think it looks strange, with the reflections, and because the place is so unfamiliar...
