Good evening dear friends,
I would like to explain the photo a little. The location is Stein am Rhein in Switzerland on a sunny day last week. The sky was blue and the sun was shining the whole day but it was really cold.
For the photo I was standing on a bridge. Behind me on the left side there is the historical old town of Stein am Rhein with wonderful old building and wall paintings. In front of you see the Rhine. This is the first place we call it the Rhine, because behind the little islands, which you see in front the photo, there is the end of the Lake Constance. On the right side you can see the Werd Island, where the monks live. You remember perhaps an other photo of me.
When I paddle in summer with kayak or SUP I normally come from this direction. Often I take a break on Werd-Island and paddle on under the long wooden bridge, you can see on the right side. Here at this place begins the flow of the Rhine and you get a really good speed down the Rhine on the way to Diessenhofen and to Schaffhausen. If you swim down the Rhine you are really fast and you have to decide early, where you want to get out, otherwise you had a long way back home. By kayak or SUP it is a wonderful experience about 50 km to paddle from Moos to Schaffhausen. Beautiful, really. But you need a second car at the end of the tour. With a SUP you can go back by train. I did it several times, and I slept very well in those nights...;)
I will show you more of my photos when I'm on a Rhine tour again in 2018. The camera is always in my dry bag or the little black suitcase you know from the Steckborn story...;)
Have a nice Sunday :)
See you.... Yarin
And please habe a look to the other side of the Rhine in b&w here...

copyright: gerd kozik/ yarin asanth 2018. Hello dear Flickr friends, what you see is my kind of New York, because you know, I am a smalltown. Ahhh... better I am a smalltown man. If you live in such a wonderful smalltown like Diessenhofen in Switzerland you are once with the people and the nature. And... we have all here. 3 cars after another: Traffic jam. 50 people in town: Rush hour. The Lake: Our sea. So I send you some regards from this lovely place and from the Rhine. It's my road in summer by kayak on the way to Schaffhausen. I live on the border of Germany and Switzerland. Have a nice evening and please... Have a look to my b&w collection here... www.flickr.com/photos/gerdkozik. Thank you very much! Love Yarin

Hey boys and girls...;)
In my lunchbreak I could do some long exposures at the Rhine. One thing I really have to say about long exposure. You need time. So I felt more and more like a fisherman, waiting for the big fish. In the meantime you can read the newspaper, dream about the weekend, clean the bridge or you could also iron some laundry, change the winter tires of the car or you could finally make the tax return. Of course, it would be even more exciting to kiss a girl or a boy. Ahhh... for me a girl please. I think we should not exaggerate, so let‘s start with a princess. The white horses are scratching a bit. They want home. And indeed, it‘s starting to snow and I‘m holding this princess in my arms. I almost felt this exciting and overwhelming kiss, when suddenly the camera clicks and I woke up. Standing just like my tripod in the middle of the Rhine. I think I will probably have to ride home in my wet trousers. Really, I have to get those daydreams under control. On the other hand, they are so beautiful and you feel like 15 years old while reading, haha... ;)))
Have a nice Monday my friends. I have to go on with my work in the office of my palace...;)
Love Yarin
Please have a look to my b&w book right here....

Sorry dear friends, I don't know what had happend. I was walking along the Rhine and gave me into my thoughts and imagination. But suddenly.... wom, bang boing... the Rhine was frozen und the sky looked also a bit strange. Damn, what had I done? Pushed the wrong buttons? The 6D Mark II, a book with 7 seals? Sorry people, I feel guilty about that. I have to try to bring the world in the old balance. But let me shortly walk over the Rhine. Wow... is that great! Once again, come on... man oh man, just wonderful! Come for ice-scating. We meet us under the bridge. Think for coffee! Winter barbecue on the Rhine? Great idea!
I think I repair it after the weekend. Let's have fun. It's weekend folks!
❤️ Yarin
