Schwanenspiegel, Düsseldorf

@Ana Lúcia: Unfortunately it only looks like a peaceful place; this park is surrounded by streets and the sound of traffic is heared almost everywhere :-/

@Margie: Thanks Margie! It's not that easy to find a place without cars in my city. This small spot is such a place.

@Ina: My pleasure! African wildlife is so interesting and fun, can't get enough of your photos :-)

@Tracey: Thanks Tracey, I love to read that :-)

@Jen: A green oasis, indeed - unfortunately it's quite loud there due to heavy car traffic!

@MaryB: Thanks so much! If I could manage to stop all that traffic beside the park it would be a quiet place too :-/

@lucie: *lol* - be the first! There are no prohibition signs, so it's not forbidden. But it would be very unusual to swim in a public pond inmidst the city :-D
Usually, people go to public swimming pools, because the water condition of our rivers and other waters is considered harmful for health. This is one reason why I'm so jealous of your country's rich nature!

@Observing: *blush* Thanks, Mike!

@akarui: Thanks :)

@Michael: ...und in Düsseldorf vor allem Ohren und Nase zumachen! :-D

@Brites: You would be surprised if you would see its environment!
