A visit to the Altstadt

Hi Everybody!

Susi's challenge 'collage with a twist' at Art Journal Journey is drawing 

to an end but you still have a couple of days left to link to us!

This A3 collage was made 6 weeks ago, and I rediscovered it under a pile of newspapers....I collaged bits of napkins,  music paper, washi tape and various flying bits and bobs from my always well filled table. The letters are some giant alphas bought years back and recently rediscovered while searching for something else.

Last week I had an appointment in the Düsseldorf Altstadt (old town),

so I used the time to have a cup of coffee and take some pictures

of the Christmas market and Burg Platz (Platz=Square):

The church spire is famous for not being straight. 

It was damaged during the war, but rebuilt

as it was:

I love these statues on the advertising columns:

I have been intending to go on the big wheel, which is stationed here

every year from October to January, but up till now I never plucked up the courage to actually do it!

The tower is the 'Schlossturm', the rest of the palace was destroyed by

fire long, long ago. It houses a wonderful ships' museum, 

and I will show photos of the inside another time:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
