Pic Spocket

I was in Germany 2 weeks in July, visiting the main factory of my company. During the weekend, I went to Dusseldorf for a one day photowalk.

The weather was gorgeous and the downtown area was nice to visit. There is a good walk to do on the side of the Rhine River. A bit further is the Rhine Tower, a 324 m high tower right beside the Parliament. This is the tallest building in Dusseldorf and becomes a symbol for the city. Also the architecture of the parliament was something to see.

I went up in the observation deck of the tower. It was really worth it: the view was impressive. We could see the town quite well, and got interesting views from the top.

Another interesting area is Media Harbor, for its architecture.

Some of my favorite pictures of the day are black and white conversions and Tone Mapped HDR images (combining several exposures), as shown above. As usual, many more pictures in the photo album below.
