wonderful juxtaposition of past and present. Even the present already seems dated. This is an image that directs us to the future in an opposite direction to the Kaiser.
I like the parallel of the horseman and the power lines for the railway – different ages, same desire (to move). The vertical lines crisscrossing the wires look as if Kaiser’s contemplation is projected outward.

I was born on the other side of that bridge! Beautiful pic but I still think Düsseldorf is the better and prettier city. No offence.

I was born in one and raised in the other. I like one and love the other.
