Rhein

Rhein

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!

Pink Bike

Pink Bike

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!

Rheinturm

Rheinturm

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!

Mooring

Mooring

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

Around the bend

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!

Light

Light

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!
