Moin Volker, glad you like it :-) One car is almost obligatory on a Dutch inland vessel, but there is plenty of space to park some more as you can see !

Have a fine sunday with your better half, my friend :-)

Cheers, Hans

Hello MattyBoy, this railway bridge is a fixed one but the wheelhouse of ESPERANTO 3 can be raised or lowered when necessary depending on the water level of the river. Although these data are carefully watched by the skippers there a surprisingly many collisions of inland ships with bridges or other obstacles. In this case everything was fine with the perspective creating a bit of an optical illusion :-)

Many thanks for commenting and best wishes to Wales, Hans

Great shot. Is that a telescopic bridge, in that it raises up and down?
