I was away last week on a business trip in Düsseldorf, Germany. Fortunately, I managed to sneak out to get a few pictures of the river Rhein and Theodor-Heuss Brücke. I was a bit to late to get a good shot angle with the riverboat as was sneeking close to the embankment, seeking the deepest side of the river. A Dutchman judging by the flag.
So the river flows gently on, ha de Gött!
A misty Sunday morning, ha de Gött!
Don’t know if this is an art installation or if someone just felt that life is upside down, locked the bike and walked away. A mystery worthy of inspector Clouseau.
Da, tada, tadatada, you know the tune, ha de Gött!
The Rheinturm, Rhine Tower, Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf is the capital of Nordrhein-Westfalen one of the federal states of Germany. The city is situated where the river Düssel connects to the mighty Rhine river. The city is known for its industry that cover a wide range from chemistry to machinery. It is also an important city of culture and art with, for example, the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and Robert Schumann Musikhochschule. The old town, Altenstadt, is known for its many beer shacks and is often refered to as the worlds longest bar.
Prost, ha de Gött!
Autumn colors reflecting in Mölndalsån Göteborg.
Ha de Gött!
Wonder where the rest of that hawser is? Somewhere out on the seven seas. In storms and lull. Does it know that it left a bit of itself on the dock?
Did a sailor tosse it overboard? Broken and rejected at the bottom of ‘le grand blue’. Hiding place for Barracudas and Mermaids.
Not all questions will get an answer, ha de Gött!
Around the bend
in the flowing light
a place to mend
in the shadows
a place where things will end
Around the turn of the road
in the bright shining sun
a smile to carry my load
in the shade of falling leaves
is the universe waiting to implode
Stay the course, there’s no turning back. Ha de Gött!
awkward situations, eyes moving like pinballs
discomfort, bubbling laughter in the elevator
mystery, who done it
some countries has melodies playing
to drown the rear end fanfare
stealth smelling or loud like thunder
don’t say the words, blush and giggle
don’t keep it in, let it all out
you must, it’s a law of nature
Don’t be shy, let the trumpet sound, ha de Gött!
Same scene different light, orchestrated by the sun and the clouds. Do you see the same things, and get the same feel from the three pictures?
Our minds play trick on us to makes a quick judgement call. That is part of our survival instinct. Today we need to be more careful to who’s pointing the light. If we don’t stop and look we can easily be lead astray.
Always be source critical, it’s critical. Ha de Gött!
