River Rhine

 A little trip to river Rhine in Germany

A few weeks ago I went with a friend for a daytrip to Germany, we live 10 minutes from the border.

We drove to the city of Koblenz and from there on we followed the river Rhine. At Kaub we crossed the river by ferry.

Little castle in the river.

After this we went to Rudersheim, a small town, full of tourists.

 

Lovely houses

 

After a cold drink and some delicious pie we crossed the river again and go to Oberwesel.



Town hall

 

The statue of Siren Lorelei, she sits on a cliff above the Rhine, combing her golden hair. Distracting shipman with her beauty and song, which caused many of them to crash on the rocks.

Beautiful sky

 This morning I looked outside and there was a beautiful sky.

The sun coloured the vapour trails in beautiful colours.

Old pictures

Sunday was a grey day, a good day to look in the box with old pictures.

My parents married in september 1947, two years after WW II.

Moms dress was made from an old parachute.

In city hall to sign the official papers.

The houses in the back were a gift from the Swedish government

because there were many houses destroyed in the war.  

Photographs

I recently joined Society6 (you can find my photo's here). I spend lots of time looking at all the gorgeous photo's from many talented artists. Here are a couple of my favourites.

Sunflower

Two months ago I plant a few seeds 

A few weeks later they became a real plant

Every day I give it water and named it 'Vincent'

And now I know why Vincent van Gogh liked sunflowers so much
