Friday Photos: A Day in Dusseldorf

Dusseldorf, Germany, Rhine River

Last Friday, I spent about 12 hours in Düsseldorf, Germany, where I enjoyed a gorgeous sunny day walking along the Rhine and sampling some of the city’s famous altbiers in two Altstadt breweries.  Here are a few photos of this often-overlooked but very pretty and vibrant German city.

A few views of the Rhine River, the first three near the famous, upscale Königsallee …

Another view of the Rhine, this time strolling from the Burgplatz toward the Rheinturm …

And a final shot of the Neuer Zollhof building complex designed by Frank Gehry …

China, Dusseldorf, Germany, Iceland, Lhasa, Reykjavic, Tibet, Yangshuo

It is Friday, right?  I’m in Reykjavik, Iceland, and I’ve sort of lost track of time after an overnight flight, 12 hours in Dusseldorf, Germany, and a late-night flight into Keflavik, Iceland. I’d pre-loaded a few photos for today not knowing if I’d have any new ones uploaded yet (it made perfect sense to post a couple of oldies-but-goodies from Tibet and China, I thought), but I do have a few colorful views of Reykjavic today. Stay tuned for more on Iceland!
