What????
I pushed you????
Oh, come on... :greenpbl:

Ha!
So here they are at last, your photos from BONN.
And you are right. It must have changed lots in the past 25 years. There are quite a number of places that you have seen and photographed that I don't remember at all. But you DID photograph the university building once. Your photo No.4 shows it! That is main building of Bonn Uni all right! Yay! It is still there! (As if it wouldn't be...)

And I do recognise the corner in Photo 5, with the Court of Justice building --- there was a tram way back then... I guess the trams have all gone?

I have no idea where that fountain could be. I have never seen it before. But it could be on Friedensplatz where I lived... they told me that square got incorporated into the pedestrian precinct, but this is me just guessing here.

Of course, I recognise the "Münster" (cathedral) in any photo of yours that shows part of it - you can see the whole (minus the tip of the highest spire) in that torn pic of mine.

Would those old facades be houses in the main shopping street? I never bothered to scan that one photo, for I deemed it not good enough... but I still might, just so we can compare.

One thing Ive noticed when I see pictures of Germany, they have this quality that makes them look kinda vintage (the pictures I mean). My fiance was born in Stuttgart, and he has a lot of pics of him as a kid in and around Germany, I don't know why but these have the same feeling as his pics, which were taken 20 some odd years ago!
