A lot of water

Finally my exams are over (until fall)! And that means that I have time to take a lot of new photographs for you like this one. Every time I cross one of the bridges here in Passau I'm just amazed at the big amount of water. Compered to the city I lived before is this a lot! My hometown is about three times bigger than Passau but there in only one river. Here in Passau there are three rivers and two of them are really big as you can see on the photo above. It shows the Inn river. For me this seems just huge! What do you think?

I took this one last month when there was a flooding in the city. I thought it would fit well for this theme day so I saved it for posting today.

It's raining and raining...

...and raining. That's what my umbrella looks like after being outside.

When you see this sign...

... it's too late and you're wet. It gives you warning for flooding.

Looks like the ocean?

Wrong!
We had a LOT of rain the last few days. A lot of rain makes a lot of water and a lot of water makes a lot of water in the river. That's how Inn looked like today.

So much rain!

I feel like I can't remember the sun because it's raining for days...

The water is coming...

A few days ago, this was a street...

This morning I woke up with a little worried feeling. We had a LOT of nonstop rain the last few days and the three rivers in Passau got more water then they can handle. According to statistics I guess I should have water in front of my door until tonight but when I went to town today I saw that the situation is not that bad. I live directly next to Danube and this is the first flooding since I live here. Danube was about 8 meters deep today! For the next flooding I know I can stay cool because it would need to be about 10 meters deep until my feet get a little bit wet... :)

Take a deep look

into Danube. This is just what it looks like.

Well, and I'm FINALLY back after I got some trouble with my computer.

The river of shiny waters?

Well, at least you could call it like this sometimes. When there is a lot of sunshine Danube is twinkling all the time.

Like a mirror

Do you see the reflection on the water of the river Inn?
It's like there was a second world underneath the water surface.

The night slowly comes...

A beautiful day is ending.

Passau Daily Photo is online!

Well, some of you might know my old blog about the city of Saarbrücken.  I couldn't keep it up because I moved to Passau to go to university. So I decided to make a new blog so that I can explore the town with you together.

And what's best for the first blog entry? I thought a while and then I chose this photograph. You see the probably the most popular thing about Passau. 

The city is known as "Dreiflüssestadt" which means "city of three rivers" in English. On the photo you see the river Inn on the right entering the river Danube (also known as Donau). Somewhat down the river, the river Ilz is joining Danube also. 

When you stand on the peak of the city where I took this picture, you can greatly see the two different currents clash at each other.
