Along the Rhine River

Even at the Altenburg-Rheinau train station, potted geraniums brighten

the windows.

In Rheinau gardeners set out produce for passersby to purchase --

the sign on the zucchini reads "gratis."

The Church of St. Nicholas overlooks the Rhine River. It was built in 1573.

This bridge over the Rhine dates back to the 13th century. It connects Germany and

Switzerland with custom officials at each end of this passage.

After traversing the covered bridge, a tourist encounters this Swiss sculpture.

Its form and stance both amuse and intimidate.
