Kids were off school so we took a day to go and see a few things we had spotted whilst out and about. In particular, on top of this hill we could see what looked like a metal pyramid. Found more about it on the internet, and it’s known as the Tetraeder, and is made of steel pipes built on a former mining heap. It’s around 50 metres tall, and you can walk to the top of it, great views from there and a decent walk to the top of the hill too. And free, what could be better.

Decided to take a trip into Düsseldorf to take some photos of some of the popular landmark building there. Didn’t stay too long but had a little potter around the media harbour and took some shots of the Gehry Building, below.
Funky looking, cladded with very shiny aluminium I guess. Can’t seem to figure out why the reflections of the sun don’t blind the passing motorist though. 
Also took a few shots of the Rheinturm, basically a tall tower with the obligatory rotating restaurant at the top. Quite expensive I recall to get to the top, but a great view of Düsseldorf and the surrounding areas.
Finally I saw some old shack, wooden hut just stuck in the middle of a well kept piece of grass by the Rhine, with graffiti all over it so took the opportunity to take some photos and merge them together with a great photo tool to bring out the colours. Reckon it looks pretty cool.
