Bay of Oestrich-Winkel
Another evening panorama from the Rheingau - the bay in Oestrich-Winkel. The Rhine is quite wide here; I think it's even the widest part of the Rhine and you see only a part of it on this photo. The actual waterway for the coal transporters, tankers and other large ships is on the left behind the trees.
The little dots you see in the water are buoys for smaller boats to be tied onto. I guess they are empty because of the winter. There's also a small harbor for the "larger" boats somewhere in the background but it's hard to see.

this photo would make a wonderful panoramic print...:-)
beautiful! I love it, this must be a quiet spot...
Maya - thanks!
Cynthia - Yes, it's a calming atmosphere but it's not really quite since the main road goes along the river to the right so there is always street noise... Still great for an evening walk!
i love the rheingau. i was supposed to visit this year, but i just took a new job and will not be able to make it this year....so...post some pics from Kiedrich (my home town) if you could...hehe, for me
looks quiet and peaceful...although with tankers lurking behind the trees, I'm sure it's not quiet for long!
What a peaceful and tranquil place..Great shot!
Nicola, many thanks for visiting my blog and for the kind comments.
Beautiful scenery!
Nice warm light.
Markus - no problem, I will post some pictures from Kiedrich for you next week.
Grant - the tankers are actually not too bad (fortunately, they are not as big as the ones going out to the oceans).
