The first prospect of a pleasant evening.

The overcast sky and swollen river Rhine blending into one in the countryside.

Sun’s out, feeling good, and approaching Dusseldorf at party time.

Those who know Dusseldorf will recognise the Schlossturm (Castle Tower), the last remnant of the city’s former castle. Now a museum close to cafes.

If you remember that saturday night you weren’t really there. Probably hotboxing under the bridge.
