young explorer - part I - a photo on Flickriver

            flooded "Brehminsel" (Brehmisland)

high waters at the Ruhr in Essen, Germany

Same place as my last upload, only the opposite view. In the background you can see the bridge, where i took the last shot.

The Brehmsinsel is a little island in the river Ruhr. It's a recreational area or park with benches and lawns. At the peak of the flooding after the snow melt in 2011 half of it was flooded. This happens very rarely, no idea when it was the last time. Normal water leves are about 3m lower. But it was not dangerous for the villages and town along the Ruhr as there are a lot of dams and even the high water was regulated.
