Morning Flow - the Danube after dawn.

I've mentioned the Danube before...here it is shortly after dawn on a crisp November morning in Passau. When light broke the whole scene was very dull and sombre but within a half an hour reflections began to appear on the surface, the city came to life and from my window there was this feeling of an immense presence flowing past, dominating everything, dictating so much and with great potential for beauty and destruction. In both Regensburg and Budapest I've seen the floods, blanket mists and romantic evenings this great body of water can create.....
My favourite bridge accros the Danube is the Stone Bridge at Regensburg .. (Steinerne Brücke) a 12th-century bridge "linking the Old Town with Stadtamhof,... a masterwork of medieval construction and an emblem of the city."
