Close To Water
We’re very lucky to live so close to water.

Who Lives There?
I wonder who lives in this house. What an incredible view they must have. Eltville and the Rhine river. I think if I lived there I’d just look at the view all day.… Read More
The Rose Garden
The dusty river path ends and at its end lies the Rose Garden in Eltville.
Climbing Trees
I can’t remember the day I stopped climbing trees. I wish I hadn’t.
Another Time
Taken near the station in Walluf. Seeing old things in isolation from modern things always makes me feel as though I’ve gone back in time. It’s a good feeling on a lazy, sunny… Read More
Unlived-In
I think this house has been abandoned. It’s sad to think of any house being left unlived-in.
Approaching The Rose Garden
I took this yesterday en route to the Rose Garden in Eltville-am-Rhein.
Expectations Met
The short time before the sun comes out from behind a cloud is wonderful. The expectation of warmth and the visual display of its rays.
Why Boats?
Boats are quickly becoming a feature here. And it’s interesting to think that every non-commercial boat you see – from cruiser to rowing boat – is owned by someone who shares a common… Read More
Rail Tracks and Trees
Another example of how rail tracks in this part of Germany don’t utterly destroy the view.
A Lovely Old Thing
I spotted this old car from a distance, as I cycled up from the river. I’d love an old car. I love to drive fast, but I think I’d take a slow, old… Read More
Neat Rows Of Potatoes
The Wife says these are potatoes. Being Polish I think she’s probably right on this one.
Pale Paddlers
It was warm yesterday, but I’m not sure the river was!
Cutting Through The Landscape
If this picture were England, there would be a huge, ugly fence or barrier between the public road and the railway tracks. But it’s not England, it’s Germany and here in Germany the… Read More
I Hate Pink
I hate pink, but this scooter caught my eye this morning in Mainz. Given its colour it was hard to ignore it. Now if it were red….
Up River
Taken from the bow of a Rhine cruise ship. Up river.
Unter der Brücke
My walk to the boat this morning. Along the Rhine, among the trees.
Over The Water
The Theodor-Heuss Bridge between Mainz and Mainz-Kastel. Certainly better weather conditions than two weeks ago.
At the Bow
I was at the bow of a Rhine cruise ship again today. This time I spent longer on deck. I like ships and boats.
Morning Among the Trees
Taken this morning along the Rhine near the Theodor-Heuss bridge.
Dead Yellow Flowers
Before these flowers go in the bin I thought I’d snap them. It’s a shame to get rid of them, but few things last forever.
Odd One Out
I wonder who had the most fun today. I’m putting money on those with the engines. I could be wrong.
Boats and Boats
Taken this morning on our way to the bakery.
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Three rowers enjoying a national holiday morning at Schierstein harbour.
Hot Air Balloon
The city I was born in is famous for hot air balloons. I’ve missed them in recent years. This one was making its merry way along the Rhine river when I spotted it… Read More
Reflections
The sun rises earlier and earlier. Soon we’ll have to get up uncomfortably early to have the harbour to ourselves. I’m not complaining.
