Hofgarten Düsseldorf

@Michael Skorulski: I like this spot very much: it's full of ducks and geese ('...and a quack-quack here and a quack-quack there...').

@Observing: Does that mean you like it? ;-) This is one of my favourite places there - full with ducks and geese who are begging for food.

@Kaddy: Thanks, Kaddy! It's a nice and cool place on hot summer days.

@Ina: Thanks, Ina! Now I'm missing all these exotic animals I'm admiring on your blog. That would quite make a difference to have flamingoes, ibises, and maybe crocodiles in the pond ;-)

@Michael: Dankeschön! Zur Zeit sind mal wieder die 'Baumfreunde' vom Gartenamt unterwegs und säbeln ab, was sich nicht wehrt. Kein Zuckerschlecken für Bäume im Hofgarten!

@baobab: I don't know exactly what type of tree it is but its hanging limbs have a very dramatic effect!

@MaryB: Thanks Mary! Sometimes it's challenging to find spots in the city without streets and building, especially in Düsseldorf, where traffic flows almost everywhere.

@akarui: Quite unusual sight of Düsseldorf, I have to admit :-)

@JoeB: It's not that huge; I was standing very close to it and was right in its treetop. It's only some meters high.

@Jen: Definitely! If this park would be mine, there would be many more of them!

@Japanalia: This garden is also layed out by Maximilian Weyhe, an apologist of English gardens in Germany. You can still see his ideas today.
