Blumenstraße, Düsseldorf

Posted by
MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 15 February 2010 in Cityscape & Urban.

If memory serves correctly, then they sold flowers here in past times. Today it's just another expensive corner nearby Königsallee: jewellers, shops for high-class cosmetics, clothing, more jewellers, lawyers, banks - everything a wealthy citizen of Düsseldorf needs.

(No, I have no idea why the exif data is corrupt. The ISO is right; f5.6, 1/80 sec)

Pity, isn't it? I'd have loved to see a street full of flowers!!!

@Japanalia: Me too, but these times are definitely gone.

Beautiful night shot of this street with many lights.

@akarui: Cheers, Olivier!

Michael from Shell Village, United Kingdom

Night shopping should be like this, 24/7, lots of people and plenty of brightly lit streets. Great result with that high ISO value.

@Michael: 24/7? Please not, that would mean even more tourists.

António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal

Better seen at night. Gone are the flowers, lights are a substitute.

@António Pires: This is one of the nicer streets - except for these fools accelerating their cars and making it a race track.

B.Held from Santa Fe, United States

this is fantastic work

@B.Held: Many thanks!

Philip from South Wales, United Kingdom

Everything you could need but no 'sole' in the place.

@Philip: I wouldn't even complain, there are streets less beautiful, but in the summertime it becomes a race track too often.

Laurent from Lyon, France

for the flowers, you have to find another place, but the street makes a beautiful nightshot and you did well with the light

15 Feb 2010 8:33pm

@Laurent: Thanks, but the noise was severe.

Ted from South Wales, United Kingdom

SHUSH! You have expensive shops to suit all tastes? Be careful...SWMBO might see this!

@Ted: Haha, my wife always laughs about the ridiculous prices of jewellery there. :-)

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

Wonderful night shot

@Jen: Thanks, Jen!

Charles Dastodd from Chicago, United States

a beautiful night city scape. i really like the lights :)

@Charles Dastodd: These buildings look indeed fine, but if you look at the details you will find a lot of tasteless architectural decoration from the 1980s. :-)

Céline from New York City, United States

Great night shot ! Very well done !

16 Feb 2010 5:39pm

@Céline: Many thanks, Céline. In the daylight this street is much less interesting.

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

Well in the not too distant future there may no longer be inexpensive corners.

@Twelvebit: Not here, poverty is well isolated in the surrounding boroughs.
